Mango trees are especially
beautiful during spring time when they flush out
multi-color new leaves! But you want your mango be not
only beautiful but fruitful as well. Here are some tips:
1) Fertilize Mango tree with a balanced slow release fertilizer
starting March. Use 1 tsp of granulated fertilizer per 1
gal of soil, or a handful or two for an in-ground tree.
You may add one application of foliar spray of a
water-soluble bloom booster fertilizer (the one for Roses
or Azaleas will work). This will give your tree a good
macro-nutrient kick-start.
2) Spray entire tree with SUNSHINE-Superfood solution.
This will provide all necessary micro-elements and keep
the plant healthy and strong throughout the season. Repeat
treatment once a month until harvest time.
3) For sweeter fruit, apply SUNSHINE-Honey solution
several times:
- early spring before flowering
- at setting buds
- right at the beginning of setting fruit
- after harvesting, to provide the tree with all good
micro-nutrients before resting season.

😳 Sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul
"Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul." - Luther Burbank

These are not seedlings — they’re grafted trees, which means
you get the true variety with known flavor, quality, and performance. Large
grafted trees give you a real head start:
Already mature with a strong root system.
Handle transplanting and weather shifts with ease.
Can bloom and fruit in the first or second season.
No guessing, no waiting years — you’ll get the exact fruit you
want, sooner.
No space for a full orchard? You can still grow your own tropical
paradise!
Our large grafted Condo Mango
trees adapt beautifully to big containers on patios,
balconies, and sunrooms. They stay compact, flower sooner, and can fruit
even in
pots when given good light and warmth.
Bring the tropics indoors — move your tree outside for summer sun,
then back inside before frost. It’s the perfect way to enjoy homegrown
fruit wherever you live.
Give your garden a smart start this season. Large grafted Mango trees
are ready — but only for a short time before winter.
👉 Plant now, harvest sooner, and enjoy the true
variety!

🌸 Orchid Tree - Bauhinia: Winter Blooms &
Year-Round Beauty
Bauhinia blakeana, Bauhinia variegata var. candida, and
Bauhinia monandra – Orchid Trees in Bloom
Sometimes a plant stops you midwalk. Flowers so bright they almost glow,
leaves shaped like butterflies — that’s a Bauhinia, the Orchid Tree. These fast growers bring color when many
gardens are quiet, with some blooming in the heart of winter.
🌟 Why Grow
Bauhinia?
Exotic blooms in colors from white to deep magenta
Distinctive leaves — nature’s own butterfly design
Many varieties flower in the cooler season
Fast growth, easy shaping, more blooms after pruning
Varieties for large yards, small gardens, and sunny patios
Tolerant of heat, drought, and poor soils
Bauhinia Care Tips
🌞 Outdoor
Full sun for best flowering, well-draining soil, deep
watering once established. Light pruning after bloom keeps shape and encourages
more flowers. Protect young plants from frost. During the growing season
(Spring - Fall), apply a balanced fertilizer - like top-dress slow release fertilizer or controlled-release Green Magic. Liquid fertilizer Sunshine Boosters Megaflor can be used year around - to promote
vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
🏡 Indoor / Patio
Bright sun (south window or outdoors in warm months), large
pot with drainage, even moisture during growth, and a bloom-booster feed in
season. Feed regularly with a balanced fertilizer controlled-release Green Magic. Liquid fertilizer Sunshine Boosters Megaflor can be used year around - to promote
vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Bring indoors before frost.
🍂 Seasonal Note – Bauhinias are
Deciduous
Bauhinias drop their leaves in winter — even in warm
climates. This is normal and part of their rest cycle. Bare branches in the
cool season will leaf out again in spring, often just as flowers begin.
Holiday season in Florida means sunshine, green leaves, and cats on
patrol. On
Saturday 12/13/25, our PeopleCats are hosting a special Holiday Plant Market
at TopTropicals,
9 am to 4 pm. This is not a regular nursery day. This is the one where you
grab a donut in one hand, a mango tree in the other, and try not to trip
over a cat giving you a tour.
We are bringing out the best plants we grew all year: big fruit trees
with real branches, flowering and fragrant beauties, rare collectors
plants, and vines that are ready to take off as soon as you get them home.
December is perfect planting weather in Florida, so while the rest of the
country is scraping frost from windshields, you can be
choosing which banana, mango, or jasmine will perfume your yard next
summer.
Holiday extras: 30% OFF online prices, free plant with purchase, 5 to 10
dollar specials, mini donuts and holiday treats, iced tea and citrus water,
tropical Christmas music, and
raffle prizes. If there is enough ripe fruit in the morning, we will set up
a
tasting table too. Our PeopleCats will be on duty all day, rearranging
plants,
checking on visitors, and occasionally allowing themselves to be petted
between tours.
Event discounts and specials are valid at both locations:
Save the date, tell a friend, and plan your plant hunting route now. Come
celebrate the holidays the Florida way: sunshine, rare fruit trees, happy
cats, and a car full of tropical
plants going home with you.
