Everglades Farm at Madeline's

Everglades Farm is a family-owned tropical fruit tree nursery in Homestead, Florida. Its online store opened in 2018, but its growers bring more than fifty years of combined experience, and the nursery now offers over three hundred varieties of fruit trees and plants. The focus is on dwarf and grafted tropical trees, which let gardeners well beyond the tropics grow fruit in yards, on patios, and in containers.

Mangoes are a specialty, with grafted dwarf varieties chosen for flavor and compact size, including the rich, fiberless Carrie, the Thai Maha Chanok and Nam Doc Mai, and the container-friendly Cogshall condo mango. Beyond mango, the catalog reaches across the tropics, with air-layered Sweetheart lychee, green sugar apple, soursop, star fruit, papaya, dwarf bananas, Hass avocado, a Trinitario cacao tree for homemade chocolate, and black sapote, the so-called chocolate pudding fruit.

The nursery also carries fruit for cooler yards, from cold-hardy Brown Turkey and Chicago Hardy figs to Wonderful pomegranate, low-chill Sharpe Blue blueberry, thornless blackberries, and a self-fertile Arbequina olive. Trees are grown in the Homestead nursery, certified nematode-free, and shipped across the United States, often arriving ready to fruit within a year or two.
