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.

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.

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.

Rows of potted moringa oleifera (drumstick tree) plants at the Giardino Fresco nursery

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?

Grafted Purple Star Apple (Caimito) tree, a rare fruit tree gift

Purple Star Apple / Caimito Grafted Plant 30+ Inch

Purple Star Apple Plant (Chrysophyllum cainito) – also known as Purple Caimito – is a stunning tropical fruit tree perfect for warm-climate gardens and home orchards. Plant Description This evergreen tree features a rounded, dense canopy with a slightly weeping growth habit. It typically reaches 25–60 feet (8–18 m) tall in the ground, though it can be kept smaller with pruning or grown in large containers. The leaves are particularly ornamental: glossy, oval, dark green on top with a striking golden-brown or coppery underside that shimmers beautifully in the breeze, giving the tree a two-toned, elegant appearance. Flowers and Fruit Small, fragrant, purplish-white flowers appear in clusters along the branches. The star attraction is the fruit: round to slightly flattened, 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) in diameter, with smooth, glossy, deep purple to dark purple skin. Inside, the juicy, milky-white (or sometimes light purple-tinged) flesh has a sweet, delicate flavor often compared to a mix of apple, grape, lychee, and pear, with a soft, custard-like texture. When sliced crosswise, the pulp reveals a beautiful star-shaped pattern around the seeds—hence the name “Star Apple.” The purple variety has a denser skin and firmer texture compared to green types. Growth and Care Highlights (Ideal for Giardino Fresco Customers) Climate: Thrives in tropical and subtropical zones (USDA 10–12). It’s cold-sensitive and prefers protection below 28–30°F. Sun: Full sun for best fruit production. Soil: Well-draining, rich soil; tolerant of various types but appreciates consistent moisture without waterlogging. Growth Rate: Relatively fast once established; grafted trees (common at Giardino Fresco) often fruit in 2–4 years. Uses: Excellent as a shade or ornamental tree in landscapes, or as a productive fruit tree in home gardens. The fruit is best eaten fresh (scoop out the pulp, avoiding the skin and latex) or used in desserts and preserves. This beautiful, low-maintenance tree adds both visual appeal with its shimmering foliage and delicious tropical harvests—making it a standout addition to any Miami-area or warm-climate garden like those served by Giardino Fresco. Star apple (Caimito) growing guide Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Chrysophyllum cainito What ships: Grafted plant, 30 in.+ listed Mature size: A large tree, 25–60 ft. Can be kept smaller with pruning. Sun: Full sun. Water: Regular water while young. Fairly drought tolerant once established. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Zones 10b–11. Damaged below about 30°F. Time to fruit: Grafted trees often fruit in 3–5 years. Taste and uses: Sweet, milky pulp eaten fresh and chilled. Container vs. in-ground: Large container while young. Best in the ground in frost-free areas. Care Fertilize young trees every 2–3 months. Pick only fully ripe fruit, because it doesn't ripen after picking. Prune to control size. Frequently asked questions When is caimito ripe? When the skin is dull purple and slightly wrinkled. Clip it from the tree. How long until it fruits? Grafted trees typically fruit in 3–5 years. Is it cold-hardy? No. It's for frost-free areas only. Can I grow it in a pot? While young, yes. Long term, it's best in the ground. Do you ship to my state? Yes.

Call or text Tony at 786-774-2125. **Soursop Tree Grown from Seed – 1.5 Years Old (Annona muricata)** Also known as **guanabana** or **graviola**, soursop is the tropical superstar for its massive, spiky fruits packed with soft, creamy-white pulp that's famously sweet-tart—like a blend of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus custard—perfect for refreshing juices, smoothies, ice creams, or fresh scooping! These vigorous **seed-grown** soursop trees are already **1.5 years old**—giving you a huge head start over fresh seedlings! At this stage, they're well-established young trees (typically 2–4+ feet tall depending on growing conditions, with strong roots and glossy, dark green, elongated leaves) ready to transplant and thrive. Seed-grown trees offer genetic diversity and often robust vigor, with potential for excellent fruit quality (sweet, aromatic pulp with large edible seeds)—many produce delicious, large fruits true to type, though variability exists in flavor and size. Expect a fast-growing, evergreen small-to-medium tree reaching 15–30 feet tall if unpruned (easily kept smaller at 10–20 feet with pruning for backyards, orchards, or large containers). These cauliflorous wonders flower and fruit on trunk and branches, yielding enormous, heart-shaped or irregular fruits (often 6–12+ inches long, 3–15 lbs or more) covered in soft green spines. The juicy, fibrous-yet-creamy white flesh is seed-dotted and bursts with that signature exotic tang-sweetness—harvested when soft and yielding to pressure.

Cashew Seeds For Planting

Fresh Cashew Seeds for Planting (Anacardium occidentale) Grow your own tropical cashew tree from high-quality, fresh, viable seeds carefully selected for strong germination and healthy seedlings. These are genuine planting seeds (the whole unshelled nut), not the processed, roasted cashew kernels sold for eating. Fresh seeds offer the best chance of vigorous sprouts and give you the exciting opportunity to raise a true cashew tree that produces both the famous kidney-shaped nuts and the juicy, colorful cashew apple. Why grow cashew from seed with Giardino Fresco? • Fresh, high-viability seeds ready for sowing • Produces a handsome evergreen tropical tree with attractive foliage • Yields both edible cashew apples (sweet-tart, great for fresh eating, juice, or preserves) and the prized cashew nuts • Adds an exotic, conversation-starting specimen to Florida yards, subtropical gardens, or large containers • Ideal for home orchardists who enjoy starting trees from seed and watching them develop Growing notes Cashew thrives in full sun, well-draining soil, and warm subtropical conditions (best suited to USDA zones 10–11; protect young plants from frost). Soak seeds overnight, plant with the scar/stalk end upward about 1–2 inches deep, and keep warm and moist. Germination typically occurs in 1–3 weeks with fresh seed. Seedlings develop a delicate taproot, so transplant carefully or sow in biodegradable pots. Trees grown from seed usually begin fruiting in 3–5+ years (later than grafted plants) and can reach 20–40 feet if unpruned, or be kept smaller with management. Handle seeds with care—the outer shell contains a caustic resin (related to poison ivy compounds). Wear gloves when planting. Start your own cashew orchard adventure today with fresh planting seeds from Giardino Fresco. Perfect for tropical fruit collectors, Florida growers, and anyone who wants the satisfaction of raising this unique dual-purpose tree from seed. Order now and grow something truly special for your garden!

Fruit Tree Planting Kit

Give your new fruit tree the best possible start. The first few weeks in the ground decide how fast a young tree settles in. This kit has the two things we use at our Miami nursery every time we plant: a balanced feed and a root-friendly soil amendment. What's in the kit 5 lb 10-10-10 fruit tree fertilizer. Equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for new leaves, strong roots and, later, flowers and fruit. 5 lb covers the first several feedings. 1 coconut coir brick (expands to 0.5 cu ft). Mix it into the planting hole or pot. It holds moisture without waterlogging, keeps soil loose so new roots can spread, and helps our sandy and rocky South Florida soils hold water. Why it matters Faster establishment: roots grow out into loose, moist soil instead of circling in a dry hole. Less transplant shock: steady moisture and nutrients through the first weeks after planting. Fruit sooner: a tree that settles in quickly puts its energy into growth, so it reaches fruiting size sooner. How to use Soak the coir brick in about 1 gallon of water until it expands, then fluff it. Mix the coir with your native soil or potting mix, then plant the tree at the same depth it sat in its nursery pot. Water deeply. Once you see new growth, scatter fertilizer around the drip line (not against the trunk) following the label rate, and water it in. Made for mango, avocado, soursop, guava, sugar apple and the other tropical fruit trees we grow. Add one for every tree in your order.

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. Prune to control height after the crop is picked. Florida avocados are picked mature and ripen off the tree. Pick when the fruit reaches full size for the variety's season. Frequently asked questions How long until a grafted avocado fruits? Usually 3–4 years after planting. Do I need two avocado trees? Florida avocados have A- and B-type flowers. One tree will fruit, but planting both types nearby can improve fruit set. Why do avocado trees die suddenly? The most common causes are poor drainage and root rot, and in South Florida, laurel wilt. Plant high and keep the trunk area dry. When do I pick Florida avocados? When they reach full size in the variety's season. They soften off the tree in a few days. Do you ship to my state? Yes.

Pickering Mango Plant Grafted

Pickering Condo Mango Tree for Small Yards and Pots Pickering is one of the most compact mangoes we grow. It bears young and does well in a large container, so it's our go-to for patios and tight yards. Prune lightly right after harvest to keep it around 8-10 ft. Compare it with Carrie in Best Condo and Dwarf Mango Trees for Miami. Grafted Pickering Mango Tree – Compact, Early-Fruiting Tropical Favorite The Pickering Mango is a premium dwarf variety loved for its manageable size and fast fruit production. Our grafted trees are carefully selected to deliver reliable results, typically beginning to flower and produce fruit in just 2-3 years after planting — far sooner than non-grafted mango trees. Key Benefits: • Compact Growth: Naturally stays small, reaching just 5–10 feet tall with simple pruning. Perfect for patios, containers, balconies, or limited garden spaces. • Early & Heavy Bearing: Thanks to grafting, these trees fruit young and often produce abundant crops of medium-to-large (1–2 lb) mangoes. 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. Add a grafted Pickering Mango tree to your collection today at giardinofresco.com and enjoy sweet, delicious harvests from your own tree in just a few short years. Mango growing guide Pickering is a dwarf mango that stays compact and bears young. Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Mangifera indica Listed size: 3 gallon 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.
