Ficus carica are fruiting plants that typically grow up to 8'-15' tall in Florida, though there are smaller-growing varieties. These figs are parthenocarpic, meaning that the fruits form without fertilization. Typically, the fruits ripen in July and October, and their size and taste vary according to the variety. The most recommended varieties for Florida are 'Celeste', 'Brown Turkey', and 'Ischia'.
Eriobotrya japonica - Loquat trees are evergreen, have a short trunk, and may reach 20 to 35 ft in height. They have a rounded to upright canopy.
A strikingly beautiful, small to medium size evergreen tree, Loquat features long, dark green, deeply toothed foliage and tasty, light orange, apricot-like fruit. Loquat is very happy in the Maritime Northwest, although its pesky habit of blooming in the winter makes it difficult to produce fruit in our region. Loquat’s ornamental value makes it well worth growing and, depending on the winter weather, you should occasionally receive a crop of this unusual and delicious fruit.
Mangifera indica L - Mango trees can grow well in Florida's tropical and subtropical climate, especially in the warmest areas of the state along the southeast and southwest coasts. They can also be grown in protected locations as far north as Merritt Island and along the southeast and southwest shorelines of Lake Okeechobee.
Trees are evergreen, with a symmetrical, rounded canopy ranging from low and dense to upright and open. In general, tree size is more easily managed to maintain a low stature (height and width) while maintaining good fruit production than more vigorous varieties.
Psidium guajava ‘Tropic Pink’ - Pink Guava is one of the most delicious and attractive fruits you can grow. Reminiscent of a small watermelon, the fruit’s yellow-green rind protects a tasty pink flesh with small seeds. The fruit tastes like a unique blend of strawberry and pear!
