Tangerines do the best with it getting cold, last year i had a bush loaded with large easy to peel very sweet tangerines, my inlaws live less than an hr from us but at the coast, cedar key, & they have an orange tree that produces hundreds of sweet oranges every year. One fruit that does really well here is the persimmons, they used to sell them in Tesco's under the name of sharon fruit & they are very nice. you can grow citrus & apples side by side here if you pick the right type, apples & pears all need to be low chill hrs eg 450hrs to set the fruit. I also have loquats which flower in november & fruit in march-april, these are like small peaches. Friend over the back as trees loaded to the ground with peachs & hes the one with all the animals, i only have a few hens but am looking at the hair sheep for meet. Sweet potatoes grow like weeds here, cant kill em lol, very hard to grow tomatoes thru the summer, too hot! spring & fall is the time for them, grow greens thru the winter. We have deer, wild pigs, turkeys all come thru the yard, then i only have a 30 minute run to get to the gulf for fishing!
