You are right, that there are others, in "less tropical" areas, than South Florida, but even there, there are plants that need protection (particularly, ultra tropicals), even there. However, they aren't impossible to grow ultra tropicals, there, in the ground, just as it is not impossible to grow subtropical, in the ground, in z6. They do require effective protection, in BOTH places, though.
I have acquired a number of tropical fruits, this fall, and early winter. Thank goodness, temps were not freezing during the temps They were shipped to me, which would have killed them, in transit. I hope to add a few other types, when temps moderate more, in a few months.
A number of tropical fruits grow slowly, and remain relatively small, while producing fruit.
