- 💮 Ipomoea sinuata - Alamo Vine or Woodrose isn't your average morning glory.
- 💮It's a fast-growing, very fine vine with feathery, soft-textured leaves that look like they belong in a fairytale.
- 💮 And its white pretty blooms? They're a little rebellious! Opening around noon instead of morning, then closing again before sunset.
- 💮 Perfect for trellises, fences, or even a container if you want a vine with personality. Attracts butterflies and bees.
- 💮 It's fast, it's different, and it's ready to cover a small fence or trellis.

- 🍓 If you're looking for a cold-hardy tropical fruit tree that thrives on neglect, you’ve found it: Strawberry Guava, or Cattley Guava (Psidium littorale). It's our favorite Guava at Top Tropicals!
- 🍓 This fast-growing, evergreen small tree or dense bush doesn’t mind poor soil, limestone, or salt. It’s hardy to the low 20s F, drought-tolerant once established, and can even handle short-term flooding. Great as a hedge, windbreak, or container specimen, it also adds beauty year-round with glossy green leaves, peeling reddish bark, and soft red new growth.
- 🍓 You’ll get round, tangy-sweet fruit from spring through fall - perfect for snacking, jams, or jellies, juices, and adding to all kinds of drinks, especially Margaritas and Mojitos! 🍸
- 🍓 The red and yellow types are both tasty, with the yellow often a bit larger and sweeter. The sweetest and the most flavorful Cattley Guava variety is Hawaiian Gold - Psidium littorale var. Lucidum. This one is our favorite for eating out of hand!
- 🍓 Cattley Guava is productive, low-maintenance, and ornamental - one of the easiest tropical fruit trees to grow in poor or alkaline soils.
