This is heaven to a fruit tree aficionado. Here in Florida we now have tropical fruit tree deliveries available to us. We have a nursery from down south that makes rounds around central Florida delivering fruit trees. You get free delivery if you buy at least a couple of trees, and that, is AWESOME. They feel like my drug dealer... I'm spending way too much with that service. This guy's stock is amazing!
Nice! Reminds me of old day ice cream trucks making their rounds. For me, the nearest tropical fruit tree nurseries are about 3.5 hour drive, in the Los Angeles/San Diego region. It always a blast driving down there.
Thank you @Tropical Central Valley for featuring Mimosa Nursery. I will order from them my first mango tree instead of ordering from out-of-state nurseries.
You’re very welcome. For online purchases, I’d definitely see if you’re able to obtain them through a shorter distance. This causes less stress on the trees during shipping.
I've ordered from this nursery before amazing shipping! When it come to Longan and Lychee do you recommend getting the smallest plant possible also? I'm planning on planting them inground in Tulare county.
I would. I say that just due to the fact that, although small, as the trees are either grafted or air layered, the trees will still try to produce fruits, likely the following year.
I completely agree on Manila mango trees! I have tried a Pickering and a Coconut Cream in the bay area and they suffer so much stress that it wasn't worth the time, money or water. But my Manilas? No problem growing like they were born for this place.
That and mango trees in general have a difficult time adjusting to new climate and environment, particularly with their soil. I have yet to find a grafted Manila mango tree. I suspect all nursery Manila mango trees to have been grown from seed. If so, this gives the tree a slight edge when it comes to acclimation.
@@TropicalCentralValley Thanks! This makes sense. I made a video saying the same. I have noticed that avocado seedlings are much tougher and I imagine this is also the case for mango trees. My Manilas are seed grown and very happy. Just add water.
If possible, I would visit Mimosa and other ones as well. There’s a number of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the region. The ones I usually visit are Mimosa, Champa and Emily nurseries. I believe all are about 15 minute drives apart.
I was at that Disneyland a few months back. Got carried away and forgot I had to pick up my Kids from school on time. lol Bought an Achacha and macadamia nut tree. lol
My side of the house (North of Sacramento) is empty (other than weeds), I m thinking of planting tropical fruit trees in there. Based on your experience, would you recommend what should be planted first or what mix of the trees that might complement each other? However, I do not want the trees that grow too high to prevent it to be too tall that will potentially shade the Solar Panel which is the main source of electricity. the size is around 20 by 40 ft
Assuming the side in question is south facing, you’ll want some relatively tall trees to provide as shade, wind breaker and to provide frost protection. For this, the Inga and Jamun trees come into mind. You can then plant other smaller, more sensitive tropical near the larger trees.
You really can’t go wrong with any guava varieties, however, the Thai variety produces massive sized guavas. The Pearl is perhaps the sweetest variety. Then there’s the Crystal which has the fewest seeds.
I actually made a video recently about planting and growing papaya trees. Some of my papaya trees were bought from Mimosa Nursery and Lowe’s, however, I have had great successes with growing them from seeds.

Smh I’m in Fl I’ve been looking for a llama fruit tree for a few months I’ve even emailed mimosa in La if they had them. To no avail they never answered back. One day I hope to find a ilama fruit tree.
@@randomguy2246 interesting . A hobbyist in Fl I spoke with a few months ago said he ordered his from mimosa in LA which was weird . But I will keep looking till one day I find one or two . Thanks for the info
Basically anytime except winter. I like planting it in spring or fall. If planting it in fall, you’ll want to somewhat protect it a bit. This allows the tree to overcome its first winter.
@@TropicalCentralValley Thank you so much. I really appreciate your response and your content of course. I am looking forward to having my own mangoes and papayas growing in my backyard.
Much of San Jose is in USDA Zone 10a. This means, your region rarely receives any frost. That being the case, you should have no difficulties growing most tropicals, including longan and lychee trees.
Nurseries should have clearance on some plants. Make it more fund to visit because you want to rescue plants with a bargain. Expensive nursery just look and out.
One of the main issues with getting tropicals on “clearance” is the long term health of the tree. As the Central Valley’s climate is already unfavorable to many tropicals, it’d be best to get the most healthy trees available, including paying a bit more.
Technically you can. Assuming you’re referring to flight transportation, the TSA allows for this. Additional, between Florida and California, there is no restriction in terms of having to declare it.

I completely agree on Manila mango trees! I have tried a Pickering and a Coconut Cream in the bay area and they suffer so much stress that it wasn't worth the time, money or water. But my Manilas? No problem growing like they were born for this place.
Totally. So much so that I use my in ground Manila mango trees as established rootstocks to graft other scion varieties onto.
@@TropicalCentralValley Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps the grafted varieties suffer here because the rootstock is not Manila. Much appreciated!
That and mango trees in general have a difficult time adjusting to new climate and environment, particularly with their soil.

I mentioned our conversation and name dropped you in my last video. Thanks for confirming that small trees is the way to go. 👍
Thanks for sharing. Will definitely visit this nursery.
If possible, I would visit Mimosa and other ones as well. There’s a number of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the region.

I was waiting for the avacado tour. Nice video quality and insight ty sir.
Your backyard is also a paradise on earth! :-)
Great video 👍🙏

So you have a santol in your collection of fruit trees?
I did, but no longer. They are extremely cold sensitive.
How does he have any more room in his garden, it's packed full!
I completely agreed. Very efficient use of his yard. 8-D
Do you know if they have a red jocote and Quince? Or do you have one and where di you buy it if you do. Thanks for the video.
They did not carry any Jacote or Quince at their nursery. I have seen my local Lowe’s carrying quince trees from time to time.
@@TropicalCentralValley thanks, I'll keep checking, hopefully I get lucky and find either one or both.
I have a pink guava and a white one. Not sure of name. But what is another Guava you would recommend that is available at Mimosa?
You really can’t go wrong with any guava varieties, however, the Thai variety produces massive sized guavas. The Pearl is perhaps the sweetest variety. Then there’s the Crystal which has the fewest seeds.
@@TropicalCentralValley ty I finally subscribed. Im from Kern County lol. Definitely will have to look for those thanks
Is this in California?
Los Angeles, CA. There’s a bunch of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the Southern California region.
Can you give me advise on how to grow papaya. I live about 1 hour from you. I killed my papaya. Where did you buy your papaya?
I actually made a video recently about planting and growing papaya trees.
Some of my papaya trees were bought from Mimosa Nursery and Lowe’s, however, I have had great successes with growing them from seeds.
so informative

In 2019, I was lucky enough to have found an ilama tree in Mimosa Nursery. It’s doing awesome this year.

When is the best time to plant tropicals in the Central Valley?
Basically anytime except winter. I like planting it in spring or fall. If planting it in fall, you’ll want to somewhat protect it a bit. This allows the tree to overcome its first winter.
@@TropicalCentralValley Thank you so much. I really appreciate your response and your content of course. I am looking forward to having my own mangoes and papayas growing in my backyard.
I’d start off with a Manila and Mexican papaya, as both are a bit more forgiving in our winter.
I live in Exeter, what mango tree would you recommend?
I just got to minute 13 of the video and you already answered my question. Lol
Do you have phasala tropical fruit in stock
I don’t have any Phalsa/Sherbet Berry plants. If you’re able obtain one, they should do well in the Central Valley’s climate.
Hi brother, is it possible to grow a longan tree in San Jose? Thank you and have a great time!
Much of San Jose is in USDA Zone 10a. This means, your region rarely receives any frost. That being the case, you should have no difficulties growing most tropicals, including longan and lychee trees.
@@TropicalCentralValley thank you so much for quick response my question, brother. Have a great day!
Nurseries should have clearance on some plants. Make it more fund to visit because you want to rescue plants with a bargain. Expensive nursery just look and out.
One of the main issues with getting tropicals on “clearance” is the long term health of the tree. As the Central Valley’s climate is already unfavorable to many tropicals, it’d be best to get the most healthy trees available, including paying a bit more.
They can't bring any fruit trees into California from Florida.
Technically you can. Assuming you’re referring to flight transportation, the TSA allows for this. Additional, between Florida and California, there is no restriction in terms of having to declare it.
