As for not taking cards, it seems to be a Florida thing. We moved here from Illinois, where I never saw a "no cards" policy. Driving thru the south when moving, where gas prices are cheaper for cash only which is on the sign in half inch letters next to the price in 2 foot letters, but for an extra 10 cents a gallon they take your card. In Florida, keep your eyes open because not accepting cards happens a lot all over, especially in small businesses. I understand why, but it's still a pain.
I have spent half my life in Florida and almost never see the no credit card thing. Locally a farmers market accepts cards via a device attachable to a cell phone. Yes the 3% charge is normal on some smaller businesses but I'm ok with that. As for the height to be honest I simply want to keep things manageable. Also I have other fruit trees and I don't want something new to take over just augment what I already have in the yard. I am not familiar much with the Brazilian variety. Couldn't find much information on them.
