Thank You Betitodetroit And Rev. Steven. My Question, How To Grow Tropical Fruit In Ocala?

Posted by admin on January 30, 2010

I use to live in ocala and a lot of people from Jamaica and other Islands tried to grow avocado, mango, banana and other tropical trees but it did not grow. I am living in south florida and these fruits grow. I am moving back to Ocala and I want to enjoy growing these same trees. In Ocala it sandy, I want to know should I use top soil before I plant these trees? Also it gets cold in Ocala, how do you keep the ground warm, so the root won’t die. I hope I am making sense and someone can answer my question. thank you! peaches
