Here's a pic of one of my pineapple guava, Feijoa sellowiana, plants I started from seed, about 4 years ago. It looks like it is setting flower buds for the first time.

While people who live in zones more temperate than South Florida, lament about cold weather that happens every year, or worry if protection methods they use in their gardens, might look gawky to others, in their neighborhoods, many in South Florida PROTECT THEIR PLANTS, if need be, and it doesn't necessarily look "beautiful", in the landscape.
Here is a page taken from Top Tropicals website. It shows that some plants, even in southern Florida, needs winter protection. However, they take it in stride, and not worry about what others might think, in terms of aesthetics:
