Discover something extraordinary for your garden with Rare Tropical Fruit Trees from The Island Gardeners. For us, growing food has always been about enjoying familiar island favorites—and discovering fruits that bring something new to the table.

Explore unusual fruit trees such as Ilama, Peanut Butter Fruit, Rollinia, Gummy Worm Fruit, and Bilimbi, subject to availability. Whether you’re expanding a backyard orchard, building a food forest, or collecting tropical plants, this collection offers possibilities beyond the everyday.

Find the right tree for your garden

Each species has its own growing requirements. Browse individual listings for sunlight, watering, mature size, cold protection, pollination, and expected harvest information before choosing your tree.

Plan for more months of harvest

Use our Harvest Planner and harvest-month filters, where seasonal information is available, to compare trees and build a garden with complementary harvest windows. Instead of choosing several trees that all produce together, plan for variety across the year.

Add trees you own to My Food Forest to help organize your growing collection and identify opportunities for future planting.

Plan your harvest before you plant.

Browse our available rare and exotic fruit trees, with local pickup in Palm Bay, Florida, convenient to Melbourne and surrounding Space Coast communities.

Grow what you eat. Eat what you grow.
