Arkin Starfruit Tree (Averrhoa carambola ‘Arkin’) — The Most Popular Productive Star Fruit Variety for Home Gardens and Tropical Orchards Grow an Arkin starfruit tree and enjoy one of the most reliable, high-yielding carambola varieties available. The Arkin star fruit tree is the leading commercial sweet starfruit cultivar in Florida and the most widely planted productive starfruit variety outside Asia. Selected in Florida and named after horticulturist Morris Arkin, this Averrhoa carambola cultivar produces abundant crops of golden-yellow, star-shaped fruit with a crisp, juicy texture and balanced sweet-tart flavor. Mature Arkin starfruit trees can yield 200–350 pounds of fruit per year under good conditions, with multiple harvests possible. Young trees often begin fruiting within a few years and can produce 10–40 pounds in the early years, increasing quickly as the tree matures. The fruit is medium to large, uniform, waxy-skinned, and turns from green to bright yellow-orange when ripe. Slice it crosswise and you get the classic five-pointed star that makes star fruit a favorite garnish, salad ingredient, and fresh snack. The flesh is fiber-free, crunchy when ripe, and has a refreshing tropical taste often compared to a mix of apple, pear, grape, and citrus with mild acidity. Allow fruit to ripen fully on the tree for best sweetness. This productive starfruit variety is largely self-fertile and sets good crops even in solid plantings. It thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and warm tropical or subtropical climates (best growth 68–95°F). Protect from strong wind, frost, salt, and waterlogged soil. Trees typically reach 15–25 feet if unpruned but respond well to pruning and can be kept smaller or grown in large containers. They are evergreen in warm locations and produce attractive pink-lavender flowers. Harvest peaks often occur in late summer/fall and winter, with some fruit available much of the year in ideal conditions. Grow your own Arkin carambola tree for a continuous supply of homegrown star fruit rich in vitamin C. Use the fruit fresh, in juices, smoothies, fruit salads, desserts, or as an edible garnish. Note: people with kidney disease should consult a doctor before eating starfruit due to oxalic acid content. A proven, productive tropical fruit tree that delivers heavy yields of beautiful, tasty star fruit. Perfect for warm-climate landscapes and anyone wanting a reliable star fruit tree. Starfruit (carambola) growing guide Arkin is the leading sweet carambola variety in Florida. Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Averrhoa carambola Listed size: 3 gallon (28 in.+ listed) Mature size: Usually 15–25 ft and as wide. Easily pruned to 6–10 ft. Sun: Full sun for best fruiting. Protect it from strong wind. Water: Regular water. Keep it moist during flowering and fruiting. Doesn't tolerate flooding. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Zones 9b–11. Mature trees tolerate brief 27–29°F. Young trees are damaged near freezing. Time to fruit: Grafted trees can fruit within 1–2 years of planting and often crop several times a year in South Florida. Taste and uses: Crisp, juicy, sweet-tart fruit for fresh eating, salads, juices, garnishes, jams and drying. Arkin is a sweet Florida variety. Container vs. in-ground: Grows well in a large pot. Move it in if frost is forecast. Bigger tree, fairer price Many online sellers charge $45–$90 for a starfruit tree, and the cheaper prices are often for 1-gallon plants. Our Arkin is a 3-gallon tree, 28 in.+, a well-rooted tree that's ready to plant, for a fair price. Why Arkin? Arkin was selected in Florida and is the main sweet carambola grown commercially in the state. Its fruit is crisp, juicy and sweet with a little tang, and it's a reliable producer in home yards. Getting the best crops Plant in the sunniest, most wind-sheltered spot you have. In South Florida limestone soils, apply chelated iron and manganese to keep leaves green. In south Florida, expect main crops in late summer to winter, often with more than one flush a year. Care Feed young trees every 60–90 days with a fertilizer containing minor elements. In alkaline soils, iron and manganese sprays help prevent yellowing. Shelter from wind. Pick when the fruit is mostly yellow. Frequently asked questions How long until a starfruit tree fruits? Grafted trees often fruit in 1–2 years. Can I grow starfruit in a pot? Yes. Use a large, well-draining pot and protect it from frost. Why are my starfruit leaves yellow? Often iron or manganese deficiency in alkaline soil. Use chelated micronutrients. How cold can starfruit tolerate? Mature trees handle brief 27–29°F. Protect young trees. Do you ship to my state? Yes. Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. Questions? Call or text Tony at 786-774-2125.

Trinitario Cacao Tree (Theobroma cacao ‘Trinitario’) – Premium Fine-Flavor Hybrid Bring the legendary “best of both worlds” cacao into your tropical garden with our healthy, vigorously rooted Trinitario cacao plants from Giardino Fresco. Born in Trinidad in the 18th century when Criollo and Forastero trees naturally cross-pollinated, Trinitario combines the complex, aromatic flavor of delicate Criollo with the hardiness, higher yields, and better disease resistance of robust Forastero. It is prized worldwide by craft chocolate makers for its rich, multi-layered profile—fruity acidity, floral notes, nutty undertones, spice, and a clean chocolate base—while remaining far more practical to grow than pure Criollo. Why grow Trinitario cacao? •  Fine-flavor beans ideal for homemade chocolate, ceremonial cacao, or simply enjoying the fresh white pulp surrounding the seeds. •  Attractive, colorful pods (often ridged and ranging from red, orange, yellow, green, to purple) that develop directly on the trunk and branches—a striking ornamental feature. •  More productive and resilient than pure Criollo, making it better suited for home gardens in warm climates. •  A true conversation-piece tropical tree that produces the “food of the gods.” Growing notes for South Florida & similar climates Trinitario thrives in partial shade to filtered sun when young, then full sun as it matures. It prefers rich, well-draining soil, consistent moisture, high humidity, and protection from strong winds and frost. In Miami and USDA zones 10–11 it can be grown in the ground; elsewhere it performs well in large containers. Expect flowers and pods once the tree is established (typically several years depending on size and care). Add this exceptional hybrid to your collection and experience the unique pleasure of harvesting your own fine-flavor cacao right at home. Limited stock of healthy, nursery-grown plants available now at giardinofresco.com. Cacao (chocolate tree) growing guide Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Theobroma cacao Listed size: 3 gallon (14 in.+ listed) Mature size: An understory tree, about 10–20 ft in the ground. Often kept at 6–10 ft in containers. Sun: Filtered sun or partial shade, especially while young. Protect it from strong wind. Water: Steady moisture and high humidity. Never let it dry out or sit waterlogged. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Very cold sensitive. Outdoors only in frost-free zone 10b–11 sites. Stressed below 50°F and damaged near freezing. In most of our shipping states, grow it in a container and bring it in for winter. Time to fruit: Seed-grown trees often take a few years to flower. Pods grow directly on the trunk and branches. Taste and uses: Fermented and roasted seeds make chocolate and cocoa nibs. The sweet-tart white pulp around the seeds is eaten fresh or made into juice. Container vs. in-ground: Well suited to a large pot (15–25 gallons as it grows) on a shaded patio or in a bright room. Growing cacao outside South Florida In Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas and north and central Florida, treat cacao as a patio or indoor tree. Keep it in a large pot in bright, filtered light, and bring it inside when nights drop below 50°F. Raise humidity with a pebble tray or by grouping plants, and keep it away from heating vents. From pod to chocolate Harvest pods when they change color (yellow, orange or red, depending on the tree) and sound hollow when tapped. Scoop out the seeds and pulp, then ferment them covered for 5–7 days, turning daily. Sun- or oven-dry the beans, roast them, crack and winnow them into nibs, then grind. Care Use rich, well-draining, slightly acidic soil with plenty of organic matter. Mulch to keep the roots cool and moist. Feed lightly and often in the warm season. Flowers are pollinated by tiny midges. Hand pollination can help pod set. Frequently asked questions Can I grow a cacao tree in Florida? Yes, in frost-free South Florida in a sheltered, shaded spot. Elsewhere, grow it in a container and bring it in when temperatures drop below 50°F. How long until a cacao tree makes pods? Seed-grown trees often take a few years to flower and set pods. Does cacao need full sun? No. It prefers filtered light or partial shade, especially when young. Can I make chocolate from my tree? Yes. The seeds are fermented, dried, roasted and ground. It's a fun home project. Do you ship to my state? Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. Questions?

Tamarind Tree Grown from Seed (Tamarindus indica) Bring home one of the world’s most iconic tropical trees with this seed-grown Tamarind from Giardino Fresco. Native to tropical Africa and treasured across India, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America, tamarind is a long-lived evergreen prized for its feathery foliage, fragrant yellow-and-red flowers, and distinctive brown pods filled with sweet-tart pulp. That pulp is the flavor behind Worcestershire sauce, pad Thai, chutneys, aguas frescas, candies, and countless curries. These vigorous seed-grown trees offer strong roots, genetic diversity, and the classic tamarind look: fine pinnate leaves that cast light, airy shade and a spreading crown that becomes more sculptural with age. Fruit quality can vary from tree to tree—some lean sweeter, others more tart—but many produce excellent pods once mature. Expect a slow-to-moderate grower that can reach 30–80 feet in the tropics if unpruned, but is easily kept much smaller (10–25 feet) with pruning for Florida yards, large containers, or edible landscapes. Trees grown from seed typically take several years longer to fruit than grafted specimens, often beginning to bear in 6–10+ years under good conditions. Mature trees can be highly productive, with brittle brown pods that dry on the tree and are easy to harvest. Why grow tamarind? •  Unique sweet-sour fruit for cooking, drinks, and preserves •  Beautiful ornamental shade tree with fine, fern-like foliage •  Drought-tolerant once established; wind-resistant branches •  Multipurpose: fruit, shade, and traditional uses for leaves and wood •  A conversation piece for tropical collectors and food-forest growers Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil in USDA zones 10–11 (protect young trees from freezes below about 30°F). Once established it handles heat, humidity, and dry spells well—ideal for South Florida and other warm subtropical climates. Start your own tamarind journey with a healthy, well-rooted seedling from Giardino Fresco. Plant it, give it sun and time, and one day you’ll be cooking with fruit from a tree you grew yourself. Tamarind growing guide Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Tamarindus indica Listed size: 3 gallon (24 in.+ listed) Mature size: A slow-growing, long-lived tree that can reach 40–80 ft in the tropics. Usually much smaller in home yards, and easy to keep small with pruning. Sun: Full sun. Water: Very drought tolerant once established. Water regularly the first year. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Zones 10–11. Mature trees tolerate brief temperatures near 28°F, but young trees should be protected from frost. Time to fruit: Seedling trees often take 5+ years to bear. Grafted or air-layered trees can fruit in about 3–4 years. Taste and uses: Pods are filled with sticky, sweet-tart pulp used in agua de tamarindo, chutneys, pad Thai, candies, BBQ sauces and curries. Sweet types are good for snacking straight from the pod. Container vs. in-ground: Tolerates container culture and pruning well. It's even a popular bonsai subject. Bigger tree, fairer price Plenty of online nurseries list a 1-gallon tamarind at the price you'd expect for a 3-gallon tree. Ours is a 3-gallon tree, 24 in.+, grown in Miami, so it gets established and toward fruiting sooner. Tamarind in the landscape Tamarind is wind-resistant and handles salt spray, sandy soil and South Florida's alkaline limestone. That makes it a good shade or specimen tree in frost-free yards. In cooler climates, grow it in a large pot and protect it in winter. How to use your tamarind Agua de tamarindo: soak the shelled pulp in warm water, strain, then sweeten and chill. Sauces and chutneys: tamarind paste adds tang to pad Thai, curries and BBQ sauce. Snacking: sweet tamarind pulp can be eaten straight from the pod. Care Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot. It handles sandy, rocky and alkaline soils well. Feed young trees lightly every 2–3 months in the warm season. Shape with light pruning while young. Pods are ripe when the shell turns brown and brittle. Frequently asked questions How long until a tamarind tree fruits? Seedling trees often need 5+ years. Grafted or air-layered trees can fruit in about 3–4. Is tamarind drought tolerant? Very. Once established, it needs little supplemental water. Can tamarind grow in a pot? Yes. It tolerates pruning and container culture well. How cold can tamarind handle? Mature trees survive brief dips near 28°F. Protect young trees from frost. Do you ship to my state? Yes. Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. Questions? Call or text Tony at 786-774-2125. Growing information is based on University of Florida IFAS Extension guidance. Results vary with climate and care.

Container vs. in-ground: Does well in a large container with regular pruning. Bigger tree, fairer price This listing is a 3-gallon tree, grown in Miami and ready to fruit, so you start further ahead. A fruit tree for much of the US Most tropical fruits struggle outside South Florida, but mulberry handles cold well far beyond South Florida. That makes it a great choice for customers in north Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana and Texas.

Pick berries when they're fully dark and come off easily. Care Prune after each fruit flush to encourage new fruiting wood. Feed lightly in spring and summer. Net fruit against birds if needed. Frequently asked questions When will my mulberry fruit? Often within the first year or two after planting. Do I need two mulberry trees? No. Everbearing types are self-fruitful. Will mulberry grow in Georgia or Texas? Yes. Mulberry is cold-hardy and adapts well to Georgia, Texas and much of the South. Can I keep it small? Yes. It responds very well to pruning and can grow in a large pot. Do you ship to my state? Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout.

Text Tony: 786-774-2125 How to Grow Moringa in Miami: Quick Guide Sun: Full sun, 6+ hours a day. More sun means more leaves. Drainage: Moringa hates wet feet.

Fruit ripens mainly in June–July with beautiful yellow-orange skin and a reddish blush. •  Outstanding Flavor: Sweet, juicy, fiberless golden flesh bursting with rich, classic mango aroma and taste. Ideal for USDA Zones 9–11 or large containers in cooler climates, the Pickering thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Its dwarf habit and early productivity make it one of the best choices for home growers wanting homegrown tropical fruit without the wait.

Mango Scions for Grafting from Giardino Fresco's Miami nursery

Mango Tree Scions (Pick Species)

Mango Tree Scions – 9 Inch Premium Grafting Cuttings | Buy Mango Scions Online Grow your own delicious mangoes with high-quality mango tree scions from GiardinoFresco.com. Select your preferred mango variety and the exact number of units you need. Each fresh scion measures 9 inches long and comes carefully wrapped in grafting tape to maintain moisture and protect the buds during shipping. Why Choose Our Mango Scions? •  True-to-type varieties: Get the exact flavor, size, and fruit quality of popular mango cultivars. •  Ready for grafting: Ideal for cleft, whip, veneer, or side grafting onto compatible mango rootstocks. •  Fresh and vigorous: Harvested from healthy, productive mother trees at the optimal tight-bud stage. •  Perfect for home orchards, multi-grafted trees, or expanding your tropical fruit collection. Grafting is both an art and a science — success is not guaranteed. Factors like your technique, rootstock health, timing, and aftercare all play a role. Many growers achieve 50-80% success with proper methods, so patience and practice are key. Basic Mango Tree Grafting Instructions (Cleft Graft – Great for Beginners) 1.  Gather Tools Sharp grafting knife (sterilized), grafting tape, plastic bag for humidity, and a vigorous pencil-thick mango rootstock seedling. 2.  Prepare the Rootstock Cut the rootstock horizontally 2–3 inches above the soil. Make a clean vertical split about 1 inch deep in the center. 3.  Prepare the Scion Trim the base of your 9-inch mango scion into a wedge shape (2–3 cm long). Keep the terminal bud and shorten leaves, leaving short petioles. 4.  Join the Graft Insert the scion wedge into the rootstock split. Align the cambium layers (greenish layer under the bark) on at least one side. Wrap tightly with grafting tape to secure and seal. 5.  Protect and Maintain Humidity Cover the grafted area with a clear plastic bag to create a warm, humid environment. Place in bright shade. Keep soil moist but not soggy—avoid overwatering. 6.  Aftercare New growth often appears in 2–4 weeks. Gradually remove the bag once leaves emerge. Remove tape after the union heals (1–3 months). Harden off in shade before full sun exposure. Remove any rootstock suckers promptly. Best Results Tips: Graft during warm, humid weather when buds are active. Work cleanly and quickly. Match scion and rootstock diameters closely for better cambium contact. These premium mango grafting scions let you propagate reliable, fast-fruiting trees with confidence. Whether you’re creating a single-variety orchard or a multi-graft mango tree, our 9-inch scions deliver excellent starting material.

These premium **grafted** trees yield enormous, oval-to-oblong fruits (typically 16–40 oz, often 2–3 lbs each!) with smooth, glossy green skin that stays vibrant green when ripe (sometimes developing a subtle purple blush). The flesh is pale yellow to creamy, silky-smooth, buttery, and richly nutty with a mild, pleasant sweetness—higher oil content than many watery Florida types for that satisfying, non-stringy texture perfect for guacamole, slices on toast, salads, or scooping straight from the shell. A backyard favorite for its impressive size and reliable quality! The tree grows vigorously with an upright-spreading habit and attractive dark green foliage—reaching 20–30 feet tall if unpruned, but easily managed to 10–20 feet with pruning for backyards, orchards, or large containers. Grafted for true-to-type fruit and faster bearing—often productive in 2–4 years—with heavy late-season crops ripening **October–February** (peak winter harvest in Florida, extending your supply when others fade!). As a Guatemalan-West Indian hybrid (Type A flowering), it excels in humid, warm climates (USDA zones 9b–11; moderately cold hardy to ~25°F once established—protect young trees during rare freezes). It's a productive, dependable choice for South Florida and Gulf Coast growers. Stock up on winter avocados with this oversized legend—homegrown Choquette that delivers big yields, rich flavor, and Florida-tough performance! Order your Grafted Choquette Avocado Tree today from Giardino Fresco and enjoy massive, creamy avocados straight through the cooler months. Ideal for: late-season extension, large-fruit lovers, Florida & subtropical growers, heavy producers for the yard, and anyone wanting nutty-rich avocados that stand out in size and texture. Avocado growing guide Choquette is a Florida hybrid with very large fruit, typically ripening in winter. Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Persea americana Listed size: 3 gallon (14–20 in. listed) Mature size: West Indian and hybrid avocados can grow 30–40 ft tall. Pruning keeps home trees much smaller. Sun: Full sun. Excellent drainage is essential, because avocado roots are very sensitive to standing water and root rot. Water: Water deeply 2–3 times a week while it establishes, then whenever the top few inches dry out. Never let it sit in waterlogged soil. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Zones 10–11. Florida (West Indian/hybrid) types handle roughly 26–32°F depending on variety. Young trees need frost protection. Time to fruit: Grafted trees typically begin fruiting in 3–4 years. Florida varieties ripen from June through winter, depending on variety. Taste and uses: Guacamole, salads, sandwiches, toast, smoothies and desserts. Florida avocados are lower in oil and lighter in texture than California Hass. Container vs. in-ground: Can be grown in a large container while young, but avocados are best planted in the ground in a well-drained, raised spot.

These premium **grafted** trees produce medium-to-large, pear-shaped to oval fruits (typically 16–32 oz, up to 2 lbs) with smooth, medium-thick green skin that stays green when ripe. The flesh is vibrant yellow to pale green, exceptionally **creamy** and smooth, with a rich, nutty flavor that's slightly sweeter than many varieties—low fiber, high-oil content for that melt-in-your-mouth texture perfect for guacamole, salads, sandwiches, or enjoying fresh with just a spoon. A cult classic in the Cuban community and beyond for its luxurious taste and quality! The tree has a vigorous, robust growth habit with glossy dark green (often rounded) leaves and a bushy, spreading form—reaching 15–25 feet tall if unpruned, but easily kept smaller (10–15 feet) with pruning, making it suitable for backyards, larger patios, or orchards. Grafted specimens ensure true-to-type fruit and quicker production—often bearing in 2–4 years—with heavy mid-season crops ripening **August–October** (peak late summer to early fall in Florida). As a West Indian type (Type A flower), it thrives in humid subtropical climates (USDA zones 10a–11 preferred; protect young trees from rare freezes below ~30°F). Moderate cold tolerance once established, and it's a reliable producer in South Florida conditions. Add this prized Cuban gem to your collection—homegrown Catalina avocados that bring big size, superior creaminess, and authentic island flavor right to your yard! Order your Grafted Catalina Avocado Tree today from Giardino Fresco and experience why it's a standout in tropical groves. Ideal for: South Florida & Caribbean-style growers, large-fruit enthusiasts, creamy avocado lovers, container growing (with pruning), and anyone seeking mid-season richness to complement winter varieties. Avocado growing guide Catalina is a Cuban/West Indian type with very large, green-skinned fruit. Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Persea americana What ships: 1 gallon (12–18 in. listed) Mature size: West Indian and hybrid avocados can grow 30–40 ft tall. Pruning keeps home trees much smaller. Sun: Full sun. Excellent drainage is essential, because avocado roots are very sensitive to standing water and root rot. Water: Water deeply 2–3 times a week while it establishes, then whenever the top few inches dry out. Never let it sit in waterlogged soil. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Zones 10–11. Florida (West Indian/hybrid) types handle roughly 26–32°F depending on variety. Young trees need frost protection. Time to fruit: Grafted trees typically begin fruiting in 3–4 years. Florida varieties ripen from June through winter, depending on variety. Taste and uses: Guacamole, salads, sandwiches, toast, smoothies and desserts. Florida avocados are lower in oil and lighter in texture than California Hass. Container vs. in-ground: Can be grown in a large container while young, but avocados are best planted in the ground in a well-drained, raised spot. Care Plant on a slight mound or in raised beds in poorly drained areas. Feed young trees every 1–2 months during the warm season with a balanced fertilizer containing minors.
