| Florida’s Exotic Fruits | ||
Florida is one of the few places in the country where you can grow tropical and subtropical fruits. In fact, there are “rare fruit” clubs in many areas that offer information, plants, and even an opportunity to taste these exotic wonders. Every issue of Florida Gardening tells you what fruits are maturing at that time of year. You are probably familiar with our wonderful citrus fruits, but here’s a list of some other fruits that Florida gardeners can grow.
