We usually have between 90 and 120 frost free days: sometimes its only 30!
Supposedly because we have such long days and its often very hot we can grow
things in less days than short day folk, but that seems to work better in
theory from my experience.
I'm trying a Black gum tree this year so maybe a Sweet gum is next.

Sarah,
Sugarcane won't grow for you there. Sweet sorghum will only grow where
there is at least about 80 days of growing season----for the shortest season
varieties.
As for sugar maples, a fairly large North Florida wholesale nursery used
to sell them here in the 1980's or later. Don't know if amy survived when
planted here, but they shipped everywhere. They are out of business now.
I wonder about sweet gum trees? They grow everywhere here. They like wet
soils. They resemble silver maple. "Old timers" used to score the tree and
get "chewing gum" from the sap. The "original chewing gum". It should be
sweet---maybe sweeter than maple, I would think because it congeals on the
bark.
Regards,
Richard
