I hope this is too much of a sidetrack, but besides mangoes what other fruits mentioned here + longan can grow without protection and without much fuss in San Diego?
stone fruits, peaches, plums, cherries etc, lychee longan, avocado, citrus, bananas, pomegranites, mangos, sugarcanes, cherimoyas, dragonfruits, apples, pears,
theres enough stuff that theres always some fruit in season here.
