MIAMI PLANTS AND FRUITS

Zone Ten Nursery
Five acres of garden, plant nursery and tropical fruit trees in South Florida. Originated in the early 80's with their collection of rare and interesting plants gathered from tropical and subtropical areas around the world. They opened in 1993. The owners are full-time researchers - one in human neurology, one in plant pathology - but who still find some time to propagate unusual tropical and sub-tropical plants. A fair number of these plants (over 150 species) are available for sale to the public on Saturdays. Hard to find and unusual tropical plants.

Pine Island Fruit Nursery
Founded in 1972. Fifty acre family owned and operated facility is located twenty-five miles southwest of downtown Miami in an upland pine habitat, for which the nursery was named. Began as a wholesale supplier of rare palms, fine indoor foliage, and citrus trees, but today’s product line is very different. The nursery now specializes solely in tropical fruit trees and primarily caters to commercial fruit growers in Florida. However, certifications are held for Texas, Arizona, California, and Europe, and the nursery remains an active exporter to commercial fruit growers and nurseries around the globe. The mission is to provide growers with the highest quality commercially viable fruit trees in the world, while offering landscapers and homeowners the finest selections of rare and unusual fruit trees suitable to more suburban environments.

Going Bananas
Five acres nursery/grove is devoted to growing nearly 100 varieties of banana plants and multiple cultivars of lychee and longan trees. Because they specialize in these plants only, they can give you the very best quality of plant material at economical prices. They grow the plants ourselves and oversee every aspect of the growing, plant selection, and shipping. Banana plant varieties and lychees & longan trees can be purchased on location, along with banana blend fertilizer. Mail order items are limited to banana plants and corms.
