We ship year around!
Watch the weather and use a heat pack!
Q: Do you ship plants in Winter or should I wait to place an order until Spring?
A: We offer year-round shipping to all 50 states, with weather conditions at the destination in mind: when temperatures are above 35F in winter and below 100F in summer to ensure your plants arrive in the best condition.
If the weather in your area isn't suitable for shipping, we can hold your order until conditions improve. For extra protection during colder months, we recommend using heat packs.
To minimize stress on your plants, consider using FedEx Hold locations - these temperature-controlled spots ensure a safe, convenient pickup, and prevent your box from being left outside in extreme temperatures. You can find these pickup locations at FedEx stores, Walgreens, many Dollar General stores, and other retailers.
Discovering the jungle
Our Sushi was in the tree today. She gets herself up there and cries because she can't get down. She was on the roof the other day too. We showed her a tree to get down from. She just kept crying. Will she figured it out eventually?

Half full or half empty?
The age-old optimist/pessimist dilemma of "Is the glass half full or half empty?" is finally resolved by the logical realist:
⬆️ The glass is half full if it's being filled
⬇️ The glass is half empty if it's being emptied

How to get variegated vanilla bananas.
Discovering natural banana with seeds
with Fermin Garcia
We got a variegated banana from Thailand, planted it at our farm and started fertilizing with our famous Sunshine Rubusta (featured in our earlier blog: Sunshine Boosters Winter Use - The magic fertilizer in action.
In just a few months, it grew into a massive banana tree - one of the largest we've ever seen! Soon, a flower spike appeared, followed by variegated bananas. As they ripened, they turned yellow and developed a sweet vanilla flavor, with seeds! These are natural bananas, not modified. In today's video, we're showing how we harvested the fruit, tasted it, and discovered the seeds...
We've named this banana Fermin's Vanilla Delight Banana (Musa x paradisiaca). Fermin planted the seeds and we hope to have these plants soon. Add item 6379 to your wishlist and be the first to know when they're ready!
Use Sunshine Robusta magic fertilizer to have your bananas (and everything else) grow like crazy! It is safe to use all Sunshine Boosters year around with every watering.
Check out different banana varieties we have at TopTropicals - delivered to your door!
