In 2008 I moved to Florida from the Pennsylvania Maryland area and the place I rented had an orange tree. It was quite a thrill to just walk outside and pick an orange. We have fruit trees all over The Villages, Florida and soon one of my goals to plant fruit trees. But what to plant? Here is what we can grow here: Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, tangerines, tangelos, kumquats, bananas, avocados, apples, blackberries, blueberries, carambola, figs, lychees/logans, loquats, mangos, mulberries, muscadine grapes, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, pineapple, pomegranate, Barbados cherries, carissa/natal plum, miracle fruit, passion fruit, jaboticaba and pineapple guava.
My neighbor a snowbird had a peach tree planted last year and this was the first season with fruit, the tree was loaded. I picked it for him, sliced and removed the pits then froze the peaches. When he returns he will have his peaches, minus a few!
Rest assured I don’t want to be one of those people neighbors complain about having a jungle in their neighborhood or want to spend hours working in my orchard! Thinking maybe two or three things not sure what yet, what about you what would you plant?
