Welcome to Pepe's Fruit Trees
Hi, I'm Jason Pepe. I have been growing tropical fruit trees in South Florida for more than 30 years. Everything offered by Pepe's Fruit Trees is supported by firsthand experience growing, observing and caring for tropical and exotic fruit trees in our climate.
Pepe's Fruit Trees is a family-operated nursery in Davie, Florida. I focus on producing healthy starter trees rather than oversized nursery stock that may have remained confined in a conventional container for an extended period. Each variety is personally grown and selected with the backyard grower in mind.
Whether you are looking for Jaboticaba, Sugar Apple, Soursop, Jackfruit, Mulberry, Cashew, Miracle Fruit, Black Sapote, Abiu, Canistel, Longan, Lychee, Garcinia or another tropical fruit tree, my goal is not simply to sell you a plant. My goal is to help you begin with a healthy tree and successfully grow it for years to come.
Buy directly from an experienced grower. Your tree comes from a family nursery backed by more than three decades of hands-on tropical fruit growing experience—not from a general warehouse or mass-market retailer.
Benefits of Buying a Starter Tropical Fruit Tree
Every productive fruit tree begins as a young plant with tremendous potential. A starter tree lets you take part in the complete growing experience—from the first flushes of new growth to the day your tree begins producing fruit.
One of the greatest advantages of starting with a young fruit tree is the opportunity to guide its size, structure and branching from the beginning.
Shape the Tree to Fit Your Growing Space
Because a starter tree has not already developed into a large, fixed shape, you can train it according to your available space and growing goals. Early pruning and training can help produce a balanced tree that is easier to maintain, protect and harvest.
- Nurture your fruit tree from an early stage.
- Watch new leaves, branches and rapid growth develop.
- Guide the tree's branching and structure from the beginning.
- Keep the tree compact and easier to maintain and harvest.
- Grow suitable varieties in containers, patios or smaller yards.
- Add productive trees to edible landscapes and tropical food forests.
- Train suitable varieties into attractive bonsai-style trees that can produce fruit.
Deep Tree Pots Encourage Downward Root Growth
Our starter trees are grown in specialized 3-inch by 8-inch plastic tree pots. The tall, narrow shape encourages the root system to grow downward rather than continually circling around the inside of a wider conventional nursery container.
Why the pot shape matters: Downward root development gives the young tree a healthy foundation and prepares it for transplanting into a larger container or directly into the ground.
Small Trees with Strong Growing Potential
A starter tree may be small when it arrives, but that does not mean it lacks growing potential. With suitable sunlight, water, nutrition, temperature and care, a healthy young tree can produce vigorous new growth and steadily develop into a productive fruit tree.
Young trees are well suited to growers who want a manageable plant that can be gradually trained for a backyard, patio container, smaller property, edible landscape or food forest.
Organically Grown in Davie, Florida

How quickly will a starter tree produce fruit?
Fruiting time varies by species, variety, climate, growing conditions and care. Proper sunlight, watering, nutrition, temperature and protection can help a young tree establish and produce vigorous growth.
Can starter trees be grown in containers?
Many tropical fruit trees can be grown in containers, especially when their size and branching are managed from an early stage. The appropriate container size and care will depend on the particular variety.
Are starter tropical fruit trees suitable for beginners?
Yes. Starter trees can be a rewarding choice for beginners because growers can observe their development and learn how to care for and shape the tree from an early stage.
