long time back I lived in a orange grove that converted 1/2 of the "grove" to a subdivision (Brandon Groves..good times , great neighborhood)...BUT we were kids, the oranges on the trees in the entire neighborhood and outlying farm were nothing but giant baseballs that we plucked and threw at everything , including each other. Yes, no respect but we were just kids...Fast Forward, I planted lemon tree and papaya trees at an apartment complex, same thing ..kids looked at the fruit as projectiles in different stages of ripeness...cut the trees down, tired of seeing fruit splattered around...sadly , kids will be kids...This could be an issue with community trees.....
For veggies, too hot in summer for everything but bananas and peepers. Winter, spring, fall we get all our leafy greens from Kale (Curly is the best Dino not so good), swiss chard (really good) lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, peepers. broccoli and a ton of herbs, green onions is the best producer, but basil, etc. does well...80% easily..Lemon tree always has fruit, Lime tree as well, Mangos no good this year. Papaya always fruiting hard to keep up.
NO LUCK with Avocados...guess I am too close to the beach..also way too many coconuts, brought a bunch of nuts back from the keys years ago now it is out of control, must have 15 or more mature coco palms..lot's of work ahead.
