Sure, I'll give you guys an introduction to break the ice. Living in Phoenix, people always ask, don't they just dry up? For subtropicals, it's much like growing temperate trees, except you just need frost cloth. Assuming you have USDA zone 9b+, it's just like growing citrus but with cold protection. I'll grow mango, passionfruit, and starfruit, to give you an idea. If you treat them with extra extra care then you can get away with the tropical ones, like longan. After traveling to the world of tropical fruits, it's difficult to go back to fruits like persimmons, figs and other things, but I have some shaded portions of my yard that I wanted to fill up. That is why espalier is so appealing; it's clean, dwarfing and nice. I think it works especially on plants that fruits in high amounts, like fig, persimmons and stonefruits because they produce very much even if you prune it much. I actually only wanted a few figs, the leave the topic alone, because I found that fig roots are invasive. My neighbor has a fig tree, and they only have Kadota, so it would be fun. To think you guys have created an entire community centered on one fruit is amazing but the same time kinda boring. Nonetheless, it's nice to have a tree that you can just sit back and relax and I hope that you guys understand.
