Excellent Source for Tropical Fruits Trees. I Travelled 45 miles to this Nursery. I was amazed with Number and Varieties of Trees. Guide was very Helpful. I got Makok sapodilla and Emperor Lychee Trees. In Regular Nurseries,You do not get what you are looking for. This place has full Listings of Tropical fruit Trees. I will love to come back to this place to get more Trees. We had good Discussion about Different Varieties of Mango Trees and which can be suitable for south Florida.
Highly Recommend for anybody who is looking for Exact Tropical Fruits Trees/Rare Fruits Trees

I wish I had found them before buying more than 15 trees at the major home improvement stores in Boynton Beach.

I decided to go and check them out because I wanted grumichamma trees and couldn't find it anywhere. We made this a family outing

Upon arrival I was greeted and asked what it is I was looking for, we were all loaded onto a golf cart - the nursery is so large, and driven to the grumichmma's, I bought two for about half the price of a store bought 3-5 gal tree and one already had flowers on them.

I was also interested in a sapodilla, but on the way I spotted some very large star fruits and asked my guide about it as I wasn't sure how they tasted, he stopped, walked into the rows of trees and came back with a huge ripe start fruit, produced his pocket knife and cut each of us a piece, needless to say, I was so impressed, I bought one !

Not only are the trees very reasonably priced, but for about the same price as the major home improvement garden centers, you can get substantially bigger/more vigorous trees.

If I had a bigger budget, I would be back - the problem is I will easily blow it at this nursery, they not only have fruit trees but a large selection of other tropical plants.

They only accept cash or checks, so be prepared.

On our way out, I asked if he had a sapodilla fruit I could taste, he said sure, walked back to the tent and came back and handed me a sapodilla - thats another story, I'm not quite sure I like the sapodilla.

I will be back to buy a jaboticaba and possibly others (if I still have space left) !

I LOVE this place !

P.S. we arrived during lunch time - anyone is welcome to sit at the table and enjoy a soda and slice of pizza !

Excalibur has an astounding selection of tropical fruit trees. I was amazed to find durian, chempedak, abiu and grafted mangosteens in stock. The owner is an encyclopedia of horticultural knowledge and quite willing to discuss the care of particular species. Highly recommended.

I've visited these guys several times. This is South Florida's premier tropical fruit nursery. The owner is highly regarded in the local tropical fruit community. He has introduced several new varieties of rare tropical fruits from all over the world.

Excalibury carries a huge stock of the more common tropical fruit trees in addition to an overwhelming stock of rare and hard-to-find varieties. Moreover, they carry an array of sizes from 3 gallon up to several hundred gallon liners. Some of the prices might be slightly more than what you would pay at a competing nursery, but overall they are fairly reasonable. And, if you are looking for hard to find varieties, this is the only place where you will find it.

I'm torn. LOVE the plant materials they have.

I would lean neutral to negative; negative only in that their staff (outside of either the owners or their main guy which changes) do not know horticultural practices.

Purchased large specimens of plants from them and they transported and planted. Many trees were planted 6-8" too deeply, which ended up in slow deaths over the next 8-10 months. They would deny it, even though when pulling the plants, you could visibly see soil stains 6" above the root crown of the dead tree.

I also am angry that when told about the bad planting, would be blown off. Their retort would be "this tree likes it wet". Needless to say, because they repeatedly planted too deeply, even these few water-loving trees even suffocated and failed within 6-8 months.

Quite possible the best source for tropical fruit trees in palm beach county. I have been to this nursery multiple times and every time i leave with some excellent quality trees. The nursery is located on 15 acres and has the widest variety and largest selection of anywhere else i have come across in palm beach. The staff and owners are very knowledgeable and can answer almost any question about the fruit and how to take care of the trees. The prices are alright. Not to expensive.
