Dear Valued Customers,

We're reaching out to let you know that Top Tropicals made it through Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and we are fully back up and running. While these storms caused some damages to our facilities and brought down trees, we were fortunate that our plants and inventory remained safe and beautiful. After a lot of cleanup and repairs, we are excited to resume shipping your orders as scheduled!

Thank you for your kind messages and continued support during this time. If you were unaffected by these hurricanes, we invite you to support us as we restore our nursery and raise fallen trees.

Every order, no matter the size, makes a difference in our recovery.

For those who lost plants and trees to the storms, we've included a 20% discount code below to help you start fresh. Let's grow green again - together!

Thank you for being part of our community! Use the code:

Koelreuteria  paniculata  -  Golden  Rain  Tree

In the photos: Koelreuteria paniculata - Golden Rain Tree, is a winter bloomer that is starting flowering now and throughout the winter. It one of the most spectacular trees of subtopics that is actually very cold hardy, drought resistant, wind-resistant and fast growing - nice solution for a shade tree. According to ancient Chinese manuscripts, the Golden Rain Tree is crucial for Dragons, as it is believed to be connected to their existence, guarding and complementing each other. Growing these plants is considered auspicious and is believed to safeguard the Dragon family. 2024 is a year of Dragon... Let's please the Dragon and plant this tree this year so it will protect us from hurricanes in the future!

Cat of the month: Persephone
The Queen of the Underworld

Cat  Persephone

Well, well, well... it seems we have a new purrsonality around here! A few days ago, we discovered a mysterious little purrrson living under the TopTropicals office. Did a customer leave her behind? Or was she simply drawn to our PeopleCats paradise? Who can say! Either way, since she made her grand entrance from the underground, we decided to name her Persephone, after the Greek goddess and Queen of the Underworld.

Persephone has come a long way - she finally let us pet her, and now she's taken over the office desk! She even drools a little when she gets those precious head scratches. Persephone has officially joined our Nursery Team, adding her charm to Customer Service

Come and see our PeopleCats (including the Queen herself!) in purrrrson at our Garden Center in Ft Myers, Florida!

Thank You for a Beautiful Spring Plant Market!

Spring  Plant  Market  at  Top 
 Tropicals

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Plant Market on March 1! It was a perfect early spring day - nice, warm, sunny, and just right for planting. We loved seeing so many familiar faces, welcoming new friends, and sharing the joy of nature together.

Our friendly PeopleCats were hard at work, guiding guests through the garden as they picked out the perfect plants to brighten their spaces. The energy was vibrant, and the smiles were endless!

Check out the event photos made by Damien (he's got some great portraits of people and PeopleCats!). If you see yourself or your friends, save or forward to share the memories! We wish you the best of luck with all your new plants, and we can't wait to see you again at our next event. Happy planting!

Your TopTropicals Team works hard in the field and is always happy to help with your garden needs, plant selection, delivery, and installation: Kristi, Jamie, Onika, Damien, Chiane, Beatriz, Fermin, Mark.
