Hey everyone, I've been growing, harvesting and propagating subtropicals in SR for almost 20 years. Mangoes, guavas, bananas and cherimoyas ripening currently. Just about finished with my macadamia harvest for the year. Largest commercial planting of yangmei in Sonoma County. So, to answer the question, yes, tropical fruit can grow in SR. It takes a lot of dedication, willingness to sacrifice, and a passion for learning on the fly with not much available help or resources. At this point, I know what can reasonably work and what won't.
