Soursop / Guanabana Plant 24+ Inch

**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. Main season in Florida: **June–September** (with possible year-round or off-season fruit in ideal conditions). Thriving in hot, humid subtropical climates (USDA zones 10–11 preferred; protect from rare freezes below ~30°F, especially while young), these trees love well-drained soil, full sun, and consistent moisture—relatively low-maintenance once established, with good tolerance for South Florida's humidity. Get ahead with these established 1.5-year-old seedlings—homegrown soursop that brings legendary tropical flavor, massive yields, and backyard paradise vibes! Order your Soursop Tree Grown from Seed (1.5 Years Old) today from Giardino Fresco and start your journey to fresh guanabana bliss.

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.
