A proposito di questo titolo

South Florida’s tropical fruits are not just a glamorous little collection of produce that happens to like warm weather. They are really a lesson in how growing something and growing it well are not at all the same thing. Avocado, mango, lychee, longan, mamey, banana, passionfruit, and dragonfruit all bring their own baggage, frankly, whether that is drainage issues, flowering quirks, storm damage, trellising, pests, diseases, or the awkward little question of whether anyone is actually going to buy enough of it to make the whole thing worthwhile. And that is what makes South Florida so interesting. It is not just warm, and therefore magical. It is warm in a way that opens the door, but then everything else — the soil, the weather, the crop biology, the grower, and the market — has to decide what happens next.
