  • 👺 Vibrant green leaves highlighted by striking purple veins, giving a distinct 3D appearance.

  • 👺 A cluster of these plants creates a striking visual with its unique foliage and dark stems, standing out among other elephant ears.
  • 👺 It's a must-have for any rare plant collector and is sure to be a showstopper and conversation piece!

🍓 What fruit tree will produce right away? Strawberry Tree!

  • 🍒 Want a fruit tree that will produce for you right away? That's the one. Strawberry tree, or Cotton Candy - Muntingia calabura. So, why Strawberry and why Cotton Candy?

  • 🍒 Pretty white flowers with 4-5 petals look exactly like flowers of a Strawberry plant - hence the name.

  • 🍒 The fruit as so sweet and tasty, have no acid whatsoever - this is why it is also called Cotton Candy!

  • 🍒 This is probably the most profuse and rewarding fruiting tree! From spring to fall, you will harvest 2 crops a day once the plant is established.

  • 🍒 Easy to grow, fast growing tree of a medium size 20 ft tall, and graceful umbrella-like shape. Drought tolerant, once established. Requires almost no care, however, it is sensitive to freeze. But if you live outside of Tropics - it grows well and fruits non-stop in containers!
