This is how the flowers of a Hog Plum look like

😳 This is how the flowers of a Hog Plum look like

✏️ The Hog Plum tree blooms with small, red flowers that grow directly on the stems of the tree, a unique feature known as cauliflory. This early-blooming trait allows the flowers to appear before the leaves, creating a striking display.

🚩 Calliandras are known to be spectacular winter bloomers, but in our garden, they seem to flower year-round. They make fantastic ever-blooming hedges or striking small specimen trees.

😎 it's Mulberry season! Some varieties have already ripened, while others are just about to. At Top Tropicals garden we're competing with the birds to see who gets the first fruit, but honestly, there's plenty for everyone! These trees are very cold hardy and highly productive.
