Fruit Trees Questions
What fruit grows well in St. Augustine?+
Citrus and several other fruits can grow in Zone 9b; selection depends on cold tolerance, space, and whether a variety needs a pollinator partner.
How long until a fruit tree produces?+
It varies by type and size at planting; some bear within a couple of seasons while others take longer to mature.
Do I need more than one tree to get fruit?+
Some fruit trees are self-fruitful while others need a second variety for pollination; ask about the specific plant before you buy.
How do I care for a fruit tree in sandy soil?+
Water regularly while it establishes, mulch to hold moisture, and feed with an appropriate fertilizer, since our sandy soils drain fast and run low on nutrients.
Which fruit trees are easiest to grow here?+
Several citrus and other subtropical fruits do well in Zone 9b. Tell us your space and how much care you want and our team can help you choose.
Can you grow avocado in North Florida?+
Avocado is marginal in Zone 9b. Cold-hardy Mexican-race varieties can survive here in a warm, protected spot, but they risk damage in a hard freeze. For more reliable fruit, many gardeners choose citrus, loquat, or persimmon. Ask us about the hardiest options.
