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.

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.

That makes it a great choice for customers in north Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana and Texas. Getting more berries Prune back the branch tips after each fruit flush to trigger new fruiting growth. Keep it watered while fruiting for bigger, juicier berries. 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.

Moringa Oleifera Plant - Drumstick Tree

Grown by Tony in Miami. Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. 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. Plant in well-drained soil, or slightly raised in our rocky Miami ground, and avoid low spots that puddle after summer rains. Water: Water regularly for the first few months, then let the top inch of soil dry between waterings. Established trees are drought tolerant. Pruning to keep it manageable: Left alone it races to 20-30 ft. Cut it back hard to about 6-10 ft (shorter in a pot) so it stays bushy and the leaves stay in reach. Harvesting leaves: Snip leafy branch tips regularly. You can start within months, and every cut pushes new growth. Harvesting pods: Pick pods young and tender, before they turn woody, and cook them like green beans. Cold: Frost kills top growth, but established trees often resprout from the base. Next step: Pick your size (24"+ or 40"+) and tap Add to cart. Questions or want help choosing? Text Tony at 786-774-2125. In Miami-Dade and want a bigger tree?

Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Mangifera indica Listed size: 3 gallon (24 in. listed); repotted into a 1-gallon pot for shipping Mature size: Standard mango trees can reach 30–40 ft or more in the ground. With yearly pruning after harvest, most home growers keep them at 10–15 ft. Sun: Full sun (8+ hours). Needs good drainage. Once established it tolerates South Florida's sandy and rocky soils. Water: Water deeply 2–3 times a week the first few months, then about weekly in dry spells. Established trees are fairly drought tolerant. Avoid soggy soil. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: USDA zones 10–11, and warm spots in 9b. Young trees are damaged near 30–32°F and mature trees at about 25°F. North of zone 10, keep it in a container or protect it from frost. Time to fruit: Grafted trees often flower within 1–3 years and fruit in about 3–4 years. Florida mangoes mostly ripen May–September, depending on variety. Taste and uses: Fresh eating, smoothies, juices, salsas, chutneys, desserts and drying. Green mango is used in pickles and salads. Container vs. in-ground: Compact ('condo') varieties do well for years in a 15–25 gallon pot with pruning. Standard varieties are best in the ground in zone 10b–11. Care Fertilize young trees lightly every 1–2 months in the growing season with a fruit-tree mix (for example 6-6-6 or 10-10-10 with minors), tapering off as the tree matures. Prune right after harvest to keep the tree low and open. Avoid heavy pruning in late fall, because that removes next year's flowers. Watch for anthracnose on flowers and fruit in wet weather. Good airflow and copper sprays (per label) help. Mulch 2–4 in. deep, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Frequently asked questions How long until a grafted mango tree fruits? Grafted trees usually flower within 1–3 years and set useful crops in about 3–4 years. Seedling trees can take 5–8 years. Can I grow a mango tree in a pot? Yes, especially dwarf or 'condo' types. Use a large, well-draining pot (15–25 gallons once established), prune after harvest, and move it inside if frost threatens. How cold can a mango tree handle? Young trees can be damaged near freezing (30–32°F). Cover or move potted trees when cold is forecast. Why are my mango flowers turning black? Usually it's anthracnose, a fungus that spreads in rainy or humid weather during bloom. Good airflow and a labeled fungicide during flowering help. 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.
