Default South Florida newbee

Hey everyone. I am new to growing tropical fruit and only have a few types. I am looking to get a good collection of bananas and other tropical fruit.I am hoping to find others in south Florida to trade or buy from. I have a few friends I work with that got me into this hobby. I'm into growing tropical fruit, just became a member on Tropicalfruitforum.com I only have 10 fruit trees, dragon fruit, Passion Fruit and about 5 kinds of bananas/plantains. I'm in Greenacres, in palm beach county and I work as a Firefighter paramedic.

Best wishes. You have the incurable fruit growing disease. You'll find many sympathizers and colleagues here.
