    I live near downtown Orlando. Zone 9 if you believe the USDA's 2012 zone map. Personally, I believe I am already zone 10, and I think when the new zone map is published, the zones will have migrated far to the north. It got down to 31°C for two nights last year for a couple of hours, but that is the first freeze we've had in many years. I have mango (3 varieties), avocado (3 varieties), macadamia, carambola, custard apple, jaboticaba (3 varieties), achachairu, lemondrop mangosteen, persimmon (2 varieties), peach, white sapote, pomegranate, jackfruit-chempedek hybrid, ackee, acerola, lychee, longan, banana, papaya, olive, pineapple, peanutbutter fruit, pitangatuba, etc. None of those trees were damaged by cold, but I had some coffee trees that were killed by 31° temps.

      I too used to believe that story that global warming would cause the zone maps to be moved up north and i would move up a zone….until i got hit by a 28F hard freeze last year for 2 nights back to back and lost a bunch of trees. And I’m over 100 miles south of you in zone 10a. Not buying that story anymore. The cold isn’t going anywhere, we simply had a La Niña for 3 consecutive years that fooled people into thinking so.

    Hi, I Love your fruit videos.
    I would Love for you to do a video about the different types of fruits that can thrive in different Temperature-Zones in Florida.
    I live in Temperature-Zone: 10b, in a 1.6 acre yard.
    You have touched the
    Tip of the IceBerg,
    as there are probably millions of excellent fruit varieties that grow throughout the World, and
    that would also do Great in South Florida, if they were brought here.
    All the Best,
    Leo

      For citrus greening tolerance try the following,
      Oranges: OLL-4
      Mandarins: Sugar Belle (recommended), Marathon or Tango
      Lemon: Eureka, Bearss (yellow lemon) or Lisbon
      Miscellaneous: sour oranges, finger limes

For me i currently grow OLL-4, Sugar Belle, Eureka, Bearss and sour orange….the lemons, sour orange and the Sugar Belle have all performed really well so far in spite of clearly having greening. It’s like they have it but don’t seem to care. They grow fine and make decent fruit without any special treatment. I got the OLL-4 orange just recently so cant comment on it yet, but i have high hopes for it.

      ​@SomeRandomPerson best place to plant citrus Is under oak trees. University of florida is spending millions of dollars to figure the symbiotic relationship. If you have ever been out in the woods of central Florida. Wild citrus grows all over. Those trees are healthy and resistant to greening with zero human input

    There is one great tropical fruit that any fruit lovers in America could find easily, but i don't hear a lot of people outside of where it grows talking about it.
    That fruit is called Sticking Toe.
    As the name says, the fruit has a strong smell like dirty socks and toe infection, but just like Durian, the taste is incredible!
    I am from Jamaica where it grows a lot and are loved by children.
    I think that is a fruit that would grow easily in Florida.
    The fruit is in a hard shell pod, that requires cracking with something heavy to get to the fruit. The fruit is a dry, cream colored, powdery residue sticking to 2 to 3 large brown seeds.
    Anyone who has ever had Horlicks as a kid, it is similar in taste to this fruit.
