According to these fanatics, you should have some very mature palm trees and Mango groves growing in you back yard today. Obviously, you don't know how to grow them in your tropical climate.
If you travel east of Tallahassee on I-10, you can see the dead remnants of citrus groves from earlier in the 20th Century. Citrus used to be grown even in southern Georgia.
Now, citrus trees can hardly survive north of Orlando without special care. I have tangerines, lemon and orange trees but must keep them close to the house or covered in winter...............
