Not just the fruit the possums at the pawpaw plant, I came out to a stick out of the ground. The mulberries it ate all of the leaves and bark so it died. I have mesh for when I try again. We don't have county fairs here once a year there is a local show but it is mainly for those that are industrial gardeners and local interest groups. I am going to attempt to grow bananas this year but am waiting for the rain to start so that they don't need to be watered.

Some kind of cherry tomato, in a pot regularly watered but then the season changed and it was getting a massive amount of sun, I was also told that as I was hand watering that may have been the problem. I have only just got my dragon fruit it is in a big planter along side the chicken coop. I have it in a shaded area and water it infrequently and it seems to be surviving. It was cut from some plants at my friend's house where it was not getting any water apart from dew and was in full sun.

Cherry tomatoes need about 8-10 gallons of soil in a bucket, most people put them in too small a container. It needs to be under 27C at night for fruit to set, You can use blossom set if you are getting good blooms, then shake the plant.

@glennlab Night time here in the wet may drop as low as 25c the humidity is still high. Need to get them at the end of the wet so that they are fully grown in the dry when I may get a night or two under 20c.

@Budgie I started doing some reseach, there are special hybrids that are specifically for the tropic/subtopical areas, also You need a 15-20 gallon container (60-80 L) a little larger than we need here. With tomatoes started from seed, plant them as neart the bottom of the pot as you can, back fill with soil/mix as they grow, that will give you a much more robust root system.
