FAQs for Buying Tropical Fruit Trees Online

What are tropical fruit trees?

Tropical fruit trees are fruit-bearing trees that tend to grow in tropical areas—meaning extremely warm climates. Traditionally, these types of fruit trees need hot weather and lots of sun, but with some of our improved cultivars, even if you live in cooler climates, you can enjoy tropical fruit as a patio plant!

Our fruit trees are grafted, not grown from seed, to promote fast fruit production and higher-quality fruit. Many of our tropical fruit trees also come in more unique varieties and more mature sizes than you’ll find at local nurseries, including heights up to 6-7 ft. tall and pots up to 15 gallons.
