Hi everyone,

I am new to the site and live in the northern Tampa Bay area. I think I am in zone 9b and I also have a lake in my backyard so I am testing my limits to see what I can grow. I currently have three peach cultivars growing in my backyard (uf sun, uf one, and tropic snow) along with ponkan tangerine, Valencia orange, kumquat, hass avocado, pickering mango, guanabana (potted), sapote, guava, blueberries, dragon fruit (physical graffiti, natural mystic, bloody mary, and Haley's comet), papaya and a some others I know I am missing.

As far as bananas go, I have a few different varieties and I'm not really sure how well they are going to do in my area. Currently, I have ice cream, African rhino horn, praying hands, grand nain, and I have an fhia-23 and a tc gros Michel on the way.

Looking forward to learning from this site and sharing pups. hopefully I can find someone in my area.

Cheers,
George
