Why everyones falling for the Hog Plum - the tropical fruit tree that does it all!

Hog Plum tree (Spondias purpurea)

🍅 Why everyone's falling for the Hog Plum - the tropical fruit tree that does it all!

  • ♦️The Hog Plum tree (Spondias purpurea), that you saw blooming in March, set the fruit by May and now in July - it's finally ripening at TopTropicals garden, and wow, what a crop!
  • ♦️Also known as Jocote, Spanish Plum, or Purple Mombin, this fast-growing tropical tree is a superstar in the garden. It explodes with bright flowers right on bare branches in spring, then follows up with juicy, plum-like fruits that smell amazing and taste even better.
  • ♦️The fruits are super versatile - eat them fresh, cook them down with sugar, pickle them green, or even make a spread like apple butter. You can even cook the young leaves for a tangy side dish.
  • ♦️It grows fast, fruits early, and does great in all kinds of soil. Want a living fence that feeds you? This is it.
  • ♦️And it's not just tasty - Hog Plum is packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. It’s refreshing, great for digestion, and may even help with blood pressure and blood sugar.
  • ♦️ If mango is king, Hog Plum is definitely next in line!


🛒 Sweet fruit, right this way!

🔥 Featured: 7-Gal Royal Poinciana

Delonix regia

Bigger Tree, Bolder Start

Our 7-gal Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia) is the real deal. Carefully trimmed for strong branching, and ready to burst with tropical growth. Unlike smaller 3-gal plants, this tree already has a well-developed root system, woody trunk, and structural shape. It's ready to anchor your landscape or patio with presence.

While we trim it for safe shipping, this does not set the tree back — in fact, it encourages new lateral growth and canopy development. You’ll see fast recovery and faster flowering in the seasons ahead.

This tree is perfect for:

  • Creating instant tropical curb appeal
  • Adding shade and structure in a small space
  • Getting a head start on future blooms — it matures faster than small plants

Even if you're not in Florida, this 7-gal size brings the bold look of the Tropics — and yes, we'll ship it to you!

🌱 Bigger Trees, Bigger Benefits

Fruiting Mango and Avocado Tree Installed

Why Choose a 15 or 25-Gal Tree?

These are not starter trees — they’re mature, fruiting specimens that give you a head start in your garden or orchard. You’ll enjoy faster harvests, fuller canopies, and a more immediate impact on your landscape.

Top Reasons to Choose a Bigger Tree:

  • Already fruiting – enjoy your own mangos or avocados right away
  • Pre-trained and shaped for strong structure and balanced growth
  • Instant results in the yard – no years of waiting
  • Thicker trunks and stronger roots make transplanting easier

We make it easy for Florida gardeners:

  • Pickup available at two South Florida locations
  • Local delivery and installation services offered – just ask!
