Great selection of hard to find tropical plants. Picked up a blue Java banana and fuerte avocado tree.

Have been coming here for years! They always have what you're looking for! The owner is more than happy to help you find the perfect plant for your garden too. read more

They are trying to sell the business, so that's both good and bad. They have really large inventory of trees, many of them you can't find anywhere else at some really good prices. You just have to be selective as to what you buy because they don't seem to be spending much time or effort to maintain their trees. If you buy a tree here, make sure it looks healthy prior to buying. read more

See all

Very happy with all my purchases. If you need knowledge about the Trees he sells. Never had any problems with my purchases.

They had a pretty good selection of plants that you don't see everywhere. And the owner was very helpful and knowledgeable.

What a hidden gem! I was looking for a banana tree and the blue Java really caught my eye. Tropica had dozens of them available and reasonably priced. All looked healthy. Even better: You get a care guide for every plant you buy. My banana recently grew its first new leaf and I am ecstatic. You really do get what you pay for and this is--in my opinion--the best of the best. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely buy from again. read more

Great pricing and the real value is care instructions depending on what tree you buy. read more

I love Tropica Mango for all my fruit tree needs. Alex always has a great selection of rare and hard to find fruit trees The only issue being that his hours are extremely limited. Basically he is only open on weekday mornings. Always check the website to verify he is open prior to making the trip out there. With that said you if you are looking for unique fruit tree that you can't find are the big box stores give Tropica Mango a visit. read more

Tropica Botanical Nursery - Fruit trees from Tropica Mango - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

Alex the owner is great, super knowledgeable and friendly. Went in about 6 months ago and bought my first tree from him a mango, since then I have been back several times and have probably bought 15 more trees and plants from him since. Banana, loquat, all different berries, guava, pineapple guava, all are doing great read more

The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about all the plants. He is very kind and will always go out of his way to make sure you have the tools and knowledge you need to be successful. The variety of plants is amazing, and you can get them from starters to well grown depending on your budget or expertise. All around, my favorite nursery I've ever been to. read more

Waiting to see if they will replace 2 Passion Fruit vines that I paid $70 a piece for. I followed all the direction. One didn't do well from the beginning. The other did ok then this week, the leaves turned brown overnight. read more

No one picks up the phone during business hours and unfortunately information on site is limited. Would love to explore some exotic fruits I can add to my garden, but it sounds like this is going to take a lot of time on my part i.e. driving down to see if they have delivery options for starters. Cool products listed on the site, but getting them to your doorstep might be another story. read more

Love this place. The owner is knowledgeable and even gives you info on how to take care of your plants! He really wants the plants to survive. We purchased a blue Java banana tree and an ice cream bean sapling. It's been over a month in the summer heat and both are doing well. read more

Cool plant nursery always make sure to check their hours since they can change since it's a small business but they have a really good selection of different plants and trees in you'll never find in other places. They're very knowledgeable and will give you tips on how to take care of their plants when you get them as well read more

This nursery is a rare gem. The variety of gorgeous healthy plants and trees is astonishing, and the proprietor has a vast knowledge of them all. He is more than generous with his time when asked to share his expertise on selecting plants that will work in your location, as well as planting them and helping them flourish. Over the years, I've purchased many seedlings, plants, and trees from big box (::hangs head::) and local, family-owned nurseries. Never before Tropica Mango have I had a sizable, happy earthworm (!) tumble out of the soil of a pot I brought home to transplant! That alone speaks to the care and feeding that go into the luscious plants at Tropica Mango. So far as I can tell, Alex makes the Magic of this place happen all on his own. Be sure to click the "More Info" button under the "Info" section on this page to see the current open/closed hours. Also view @tropicamango on Instagram to see (drool over) photos and video of the plants and products available. Pro tip: this business is located in a county island and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs are not subject to sales tax! read more

If you can find what you want, great prices! We have purchased a lot here! Lots of bananas trees, and bare root trees.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. I bought two trees that are still doing quite well, may pride peach, and an aprium that looks delicious. The owner gave my six year old some fish food to feed the koi fish, which made it memorable and my six year old is willing to go back. Great quality and prices. Thank you read more

This is a wonderful plant nursery with a large selection of tropical plants and trees. The owner is knowledgeable on their care and planting and has written information for many of the items. I never know what interesting plant I may find to add to my garden. Be sure to check their Facebook page for items in stock. read more

I have been to multiple different nurseries throughout Arizona and let me two you there are only three places I will go to from now on. The gentleman that is the owner is an awesome man with many tips on how to grow everything if you have questions about anything exotic be sure to ask him he is very knowledgeable. I cannot wait for him to restock his place because I will be first in line to go! read more

The owner is extremely knowledgeable, so helpful and honest! I purchased 3 espalier apple trees. I wish i had known about this nursery earlier. I asked him about avocados and he was honest enough to tell me it can be challenging as avocados hate the cold. His prices are very fair. Love this tropical nursery! read more

Hole in the wall that has lots of hard to find stuff. The customer service was ok. They were not at all helpful in finding the very specific item I was looking for except to give me general direction on where it was. All the carts were in very poor condition with flat tires. At check-out they were very helpful with care instructions which was appreciated. read more

Amazing service, bought a jujube from here and it is doing awesome, will be back for more in the spring

Wonderful place, wonderful trees and plants. Well worth the drive. Owner is super helpful and knowledgeable. Everything I have bought from here has thrived and is noticeably healthier than what I've purchased online or from other nurseries. read more

Very good products and very good information provided. It's quite a drive for me to get there but always well worth the trip. They carry hard to find plants and trees. read more

This place is quite amazing. I cannot believe I never knew it was here before. My girlfriend is crazy over growing our own food. However, we live in the city ,not the country so we really cannot do it. She is certain that we can and will. So when we came back from Italy last time, I bought 5 fruit trees. The AZ type of fruit, lemon, orange, cumquat, etc. I ended up by taking back the grapefruit tree because, I had no where to plant it. We ran out of space. Then we found this place, wonderful trees of all sorts. Now she is on a roll, we have to move or fill our entire land with trees. I am guessing we have to move. I think we have no room for more trees at the moment ,but when we do this is where we will be going for sure. If nothing else this place is educational. Lychee trees even! I think she wants an avacado tree,it reminds her of living in Hawaii. read more

I always find something new and exciting when I come in. Tropica mango has an amazing selection of plants you won't find many other places. We have had great success with everything we have purchased. The prices are amazing! Thank you Tropica Mango for helping us get a few plants closer to our dream food forest. read more

Did you know you could grow Lychees in the desert? I sure didn't....until I went to this little unassuming nursery which is also called Alex's Tropicals. I met Alex when I decided I wanted to try to grow bananas in my back yard. Not only for fruit, but for some reason when the houses were built, my neighbor's driveway angles upward so at any given moment if I'm in the backyard, I see heads bobbing up and down on the other side of the wall. Nothing against my neighbors, but there's something to be said about a little privacy in one's own backyard. So Alex recommended a couple of banana species - and even gave one plant free after one of them died on the first occasion - and happily they are shooting up so fast and healthy I will soon have my screen. On top of the great customer service, the nursery is a neat place to just go and look at the different types of fruit trees they sell. Everything from cherries to dragon fruit, lychee, pineapple, loquats, mangoes, papayas, etc. etc. etc.... It's mind numbing the varieties they have, and the place isn't even that large compared to other nurseries in town. Prices are more than fair, and everyone I've encountered there is extremely well informed and will answer any of your plant questions patiently. Their website is even cooler. I hope it gets finished soon, but you can't blame them for not having it completed with all of the info they're cramming on the site. read more

The husband / wife / dogs are knowlegeable and friendly... they will continue to offer tons of advice if you keep asking. Exotic varieties.. they also had the same brand (Dave Wilson) and some other unique variety of the fruit trees found at Bakers. I kept staring at a 3 variety peach tree w/ low chill hours, but alas we already picked up our trees a few wks ago. Good luck to our baby avocado tree, and I better not catch you Yelpers picking the fruit off (in a few years)! :D read more

This is our new favorite nursery, super friendly, helpful, super knowledgeable. Less expensive than other nurseries we've visited. They also have a great website with plenty of information. read more

Pratically made this account just to write about this place. I Loved it here. Im from California but im planning to move to Phoenix and I wanted to see what can be grown in Phoenix, so i made my boyfriend stop at this exotic place and gosh! There were so many more varieties than I anticipated. Even Lychee! My personal asian fruit favorite! Its not in a good neighborhood and it looked kind of shabby, however it was absolutely WORTH the visit. the people knew what they were talking about and they knew their product so well. I was very happy, i'd definitely will come back when i move to Phoenix!! read more

I love the quality of plants and the man that runs it is phenomenal. Full of information help for flyers for when you buy a plant. Can't wait to go back. It's right on the main street easy to find. read more

This is good place where I found some really tropical fruit trees like Mangos, Guava and exotic fruits. The owner is really knowledgeable about various fruit trees and extremely curtsies, helpful. I definitely suggest to visit this place if you are interested in tropical fruit trees... read more

Great prices!!!!! Amazing service. Came in looking for low maintenance trees, owner helped with all of our questions and concerns. He also gave us detailed instructions on how to care for them. He asked if my kids wanted to feed the fish... said yes and gave them each a cup with fish food. Very kind. He assisted every person who came through the gate. Thankful we found this place! read more

I marked things as inexpensive but it's a relative thing. Considering the rarity, variety that he carries, comparable prices at other places, along with making his own "starter cuttings" that he sells very cheap ($5 for most rooted cuttings) he'll have something you will want and can afford. If you buy the smaller products, he'll tell you how big it needs to get before you need to up-pot it. He let us meander and look at everything without bothering us. If you don't have time and know exactly what you want, he'll help you and you'll be in and out in no time. He has printed instructions on care and planting and if you run into any problems, shoot him a photo and he'll let you know how to help out your plants and trees. He's very helpful and knowledgeable about his products. Talk to him about your property and plans and he can get you what will grow well there, level of care needed if you're short on time or are a newbie to growing, limited water, etc. His products are very healthy and well-kept and if you're looking for something he doesn't have, he can usually get it in for you (call ahead if you're driving a ways so you don't waste a trip). If he doesn't have it in, it may not be the right time to plant so call and talk to him first. It is a nursery so dress appropriately for damp or a bit muddy ground. Expect to spend more time there to take it all in. If you're loading these in your car, plan ahead with cardboard so we can all cut down on plastic usage. He will help juggle things to get them in your car. He is very helpful and knowledgeable and I loved the variety he carries and the affordability. As an example, our 3 gallon passionfruit was $48 while his cuttings were $5 for a 4" pot but they'll grow to that 3 gallon size in about 6 months. So depending on your budget, timeframe and experience level, there's something for everyone. Worth the drive. read more

Owner is friendly & knowledgeable. I appreciate that he is honest about the difficulty level of growing certain tropicals in AZ and willing to provide information to help customers to be more successful. read more

Owner very knowledgable and helpful!! Gave us tons of tips for growing our Avacodo tree. We look forward to returning often as we landscape. read more

loved this place it was awesome.Nice collection of plant.but bit untidy . Got curry leave plant for 18$ which to me seem pretty costly. But four star just to carry the plant. read more

Pros: - Lots of exotic varieties that are not available ANYWHERE else in the valley - Owner has handouts with grow and transplant instructions for each variety. FOLLOW THEM! - Reasonable prices, considering the unavailability elsewhere - Close to "Superstition springs Ranch Market" - cheap produce Cons: - I cant really take off a star, but their email just bounces back - It is a bit outside the city limits read more

Good prices, great service. We have been here on several occassions and its always the same guy. He is always friendly and very knowledgable and very helpful. Would not buy fruiting plants anywhere else anymore. read more

Good business but seriously over-priced. Usually 3 times as expensive as I can get same items for elsewhere.
