Online nurseries suggestions

Where else you can order tropical fruit trees that ship besides toptropical.com?    Seem like Pine island mainly carry mango trees?   Hoping to get some guava and sugar apple trees.

My goto is Pine #1, Plant-a-gram #2 who probably sources from PIN and others.

Be careful with Top.  Many have been burned including me.  Always get a reference like this credible one:

Too many negatives/neutrals for this here cowboy.  ;)

Odd, I have had many dealings with top tropical and all have been good. Even the one time they forgot a tree they put it in the mail the next week no problem. Everything I have ordered was top notch too. Then again, everyone talks bad about TyTy and I haven't had any problems there either the few times I have ordered.

Raintree nursery is one of my favorites. I should have a couple trees coming in tomorrow actually from them. They have a very different menu than more southern nurseries since they are up in Oregon.
 Justfruitsandexotics.com is great. Didn't see where the OP was from and I don't know if they ship out of FL. I have picked up some neat oddballs from being on their waiting list. If only the deer would stay away from them.

Ken's nursery. I had very good experiences with them, although I didn't finish uploading all the photos for my review here on the forum. I look forward to their new season in just a few weeks!

I live in St. Pete, so I go to Jene's a lot. She has the best variety of tropical plants that I have found in the immediate area. Since I live here, I've never needed to have anything shipped. However, she also is knowledgeable and takes pride in her work, so I would imagine that she would be a good dealer to order from.

Purchased over 14 mango trees from TT. nothing but good experiences, they reimbursed me for one tree which was the wrong size and customer service was great with getting special orders in for trees they don't carry on their website or those that our out of stock.


Here's a link from an old post from my first 11 trees ( All dead due to change in Military Duty Station) http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=9060.msg122239#msg122239

My 3 new trees, Lemon Zest, Sweet Tart, and Peach Cobbler are fairing well in Norfolk, VA... next step is a to put up a green house to survive the harsh winter.
Thinking about joining a Fruitaholics anonymous support group...Fruit addiction has taken over my life!

Welcome back, ClayMango! The cherimoya tastings have all been bad since you're gone. Or was the one I met you at the first one that was bad? Still good times in any case.

Yeah, welcome back Clay!  Are you settled in for good?  Reason why I asked is you stated you're building a greenhouse.  Am really enjoying mine and getting fine avocados (the very rich Reed cado now), pineapples, mango, citrus and soon cherimoya.  Sweet Tart and Lemon Zest will be picked in a week or two.

Insure that your design allows for the ingress and egress of pollinators in the spring.  I literally have 100's of every specie of bee, fly, moth, butterflies you can imagine.
