fruit

Some trees are prized for their architectural shape or sculpted leaves, while others are treasured for their bold, showy flowers. Fruit trees add a colorful (and sometimes delicious) facet to a tropical garden. Start conversations with the bizarre appeal of a pineapple plant, watching the familiar shape emerge right from the center of a rosette of foliage. Cultivate pleasant shade with the feathery leaves and layered branches of a tamarind tree. Considering the diversity of shapes and sizes, it’s easy to reap the many benefits of fruit.
