For tropical fruit like mango, lychee, etc. you will need to drive at least to the Orlando/Tampa area. Jene's Tropicals in st. Pete and Our kids tropicals in Orlando are good choices. Jene's is probably my go to if buying trees for the first time because of the large variety of fruit trees available. What fruit trees are you looking to buy? I have been to both since Covid started and they are still open. As you go further south, there are more nurseries to choose from.
I'm open to suggestions for where to visit. I intend to drive so I can bring plants home with me, and from what I'm looking out I'll need to drive 15+ hours.

It's just SW a few miles outside Tallahassee proper. That could maybe save you a few hours of drivetime if they have what you are looking for.JF&E offers many things suitable for zone 9a and cooler.OK — HTHPaul M.==
Hey everyone!I lIve in the WV panhandle. My birthday is coming up and I was considering driving South and checking out some tropical plant nurseries, since I can never find much in the way of tropical plants in my area. I'm just wondering how far South I need to go. NC, SC, FL? Which nurseries even open during winter and COVID? I'm open to suggestions for where to visit.

Charlie23 Yes, and I intend to buy from them once it's summer. Unfortunately, where I am it is too cold to have plants shipped right now.
