Tropical Fruit Trees

If you have the urge to grow tropical fruit trees and you live in Florida or Hawaii then things are fairly easy. If you live elsewhere you can also give it a try, given a warm protected position many 'tropical' fruit trees can be grown in less than tropical conditions.

Many species need protection when they are young and once established can withstand colder temperatures. Frost is usually a problem so in frost prone areas consider growing tropical trees in containers so that they can be moved to a sheltered position or indoors as required. It is also worth looking for trees that have been grown or grafted onto dwarfing rootstock, much easier ti grow in containers.
