Large Grafted Mango Trees - Plant Now Before Winter!

Smokey the tuxedo cat prepares to plant a huge mango while Sunshine the ginger tabby relaxes in a reclining chair sipping coffee as a truck with a boom crane unloads the mango beside an excavator and a pile of mulch in a sunny tropical garden.

"Next Time We'll Specify - A TREE!" - Smokey and Sunshine Plant a Giant Mango

🌡️ Why plant now?

Fall is the perfect time to plant tropical fruit trees. The soil is still warm, the air is mild, and your trees can quietly build strong roots. By spring, they’ll already be settled and ready to grow fast.

Imagine walking outside next summer and picking your own mangoes from a tree you planted this fall!

Plant a fruit tree - and breathe easier: fruit might be the surprising key to healthier lungs. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

🍒 Plant a fruit tree - and breathe easier: fruit might be the surprising key to healthier lungs

  • Fresh fruit doesn’t just taste good - it can literally help you breathe better!

  • A new study presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress found that women who ate at least four portions of fruit a day had slower declines in lung function compared to those who ate less. Researchers believe antioxidants in fruit may help protect the lungs from the damaging effects of air pollution.

  • Air pollution is everywhere, and more than 90% of people worldwide are exposed to levels above safe limits. But the good news is, your diet can make a difference. Fruits are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help your body fight off the oxidative stress caused by tiny airborne particles.

  • The study showed that women who ate plenty of fruit had stronger lungs despite being exposed to fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) from cars and industry. The difference wasn’t small either - their lung capacity dropped significantly less over time than in those with low fruit intake.

  • So planting fruit trees isn’t just about homegrown flavor or saving a trip to the store. It’s about protecting your health in a polluted world. Whether it’s mangoes, avocados, guavas, or starfruit, every harvest brings you cleaner nutrition and a cleaner breath of life.

Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm

Variegated Spiral Ginger - Costus arabicus (amazonicus)

⭐️ Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm
  • 🌀 Variegated Spiral Ginger - Costus arabicus (amazonicus) is not your average ginger. Unlike the common gingers with plain green leaves and short flower spikes, this one is a real standout. Its tall spiral stems are striped with bold white variegation, creating a dramatic swirl of green and cream even before it blooms.
  • 🌀 And when it does bloom - the flowers are pure white with soft yellow centers, like porcelain sculptures nestled among the leaves. It's a tropical showpiece that turns heads wherever it grows.
  • 🌀 Originally from South America and now loved in Hawaii and Florida, this ginger thrives in moist, rich soil and loves plenty of water. It handles both sun and shade, but really shines in a bright, filtered light spot.
  • 🌀 We have one growing right by our farm office, and everyone who walks by stops, stares, and says the same thing: "I want that plant!"

Now you can have it too - straight from the Amazon forest to your garden!

Guava beats banana in the potassium game. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

🍉 Guava beats banana in the potassium game
  • 🍉Everyone talks about bananas when it comes to potassium, but guava (Tropical Guava - Psidium guajava) quietly beats them! One cup of guava packs around 688 milligrams of potassium, compared to about 450 in a banana!
  • 🍉Potassium is essential for strong bones, steady blood pressure, muscle function, and a healthy nervous system. Adults need between 2,600 and 3,400 mg daily, according to the National Institute of Health - so adding guava to your fruit bowl is a smart move.
  • 🍉Guavas are common across the tropics - from Mexico to the Caribbean - with green or yellow skin and beautiful pink or off-white flesh. Sweet, aromatic, and easy to grow in warm climates, guava is one tropical fruit that truly earns its place in the garden and on your plate.


🛒 Your body needs potassium - your garden grows it on guava tree!
