Here in Dallas, I've planted a Satsuma orange (3rd year now--no oranges), a kumquat (he didn't know the variety but it's round and sweet), a couple sagos, windmill palm, & persimmon in the ground. Also some other tropical landscape plants. I'm pushing the zone by doing it though as I'm in far north Dallas. As of today, I don't have a banana yet but it's coming this week!

I'm curious just how easy it is to grow a mango in a pot and have it fruit. Anyone with experience on that? Also how about an avocado in a pot? Is there such a thing as a miniature mango or avocado?
