hi,
we just got back from jamaica and have been bitten by the "tropical" bug. port antonio, jamaica has to be one of the greenest spots on earth. georgeous place.
anyway, tampa is a zone 9-10 and just driving around our neighborhood i see a lot of exotic tropicals thriving. does anyone know a reputable nursery in the area that specializes on this type of plant?
thanks,
mike

Hi Mike,
Which type of plant is that? Don't know if any of these places will help you out, but perhaps you could give them a call and question them about exotic tropical plants...
Anyways, best to call around I think and ask about a specific tropical plant (palm trees, pineapple types with fruit, mango trees, coconut palms, etc).
I know the Willow Tree Nursery in Saint Petersburg sells some lemon trees and other fruit trees, but you'll probably find something closer to you in the Tampa with a few phone calls that sells the same sort of plant.
Hope this helps.

I only know the ones here, Bradenton and Palmetto. Try Amerson's or Don Jones Nursery.
