Best Tropical Fruit Nursery In Southern California Tour 

Lol! I love when you really like what you taste! No shame in your game! You always ask for more!

Been there, done that....will do it again. Anything I have from them is still growing and flourishing.

Thank you so much for this video. As you know there are many many nursery's in the area and I've been to many of them. Still I never went to this one until I saw the video. Just came back from there and they will be delivering 12 trees later. Still I'm going back for more. The have the rarest fruit trees of great quality and Enzo was helpful and incredibly informative. Thank you for the video and Thank you Exotica. Nice to know you're local.

Thanks Wendi You came at a mega fruit time….kei apple caught my eye…it’s all about hitting that sweet spot on the fruit ripening curve…..

You guys are amazing!!!! The Garden of Eden for sure, thank you, will stop by since I'm not to far away ❤

I live in San Diego County. Exotica is my favorite nursery.

I was just there yesterday. Steve is a great fellow and very accommodating.

17:14 fruitgasm 🤗🤗🤗. Been there before. In latin households we use fruits to sweeten our caldos and soups.

OMG 💕 I love Exotica it’s my favorite nursery 👍👍👍

I've been a few times and was just there today. The pros: they have fruiting plants that you will not be able to find anywhere else in California, perhaps the the country. Spot and Steve are very knowledgeable. The cons: Its disorganized and only about 10% of the plants are marked with prices or descriptions so you can't really browse and make up your mind. There are plants all over that have grown through the bottom of the pot and become permanent fixtures on the grounds. It's the kind of place you walk in and ask for a particular plant and they lead you through the jungle to a clearing that has some plants and tell you about them. It's expensive for anything common (e.g. figs, stone fruit) that you can compare prices to. Lots of small plants in big pots. They have a tasting table, but you'd need to be comfortable eating samples that have been sitting out on a hot day(s) with bugs in a dirty environment. With so much fruit around you know the place is teaming with vermin at night. This place is kind of a labor of love for the owner as much as it's a business.

Feijoas (pineapple guavas) are my favorite fruit. However, they are not actually guavas, although in the same family. A strawberry guava for instance, or a lemon guava, are actually guavas. I love Exotica nursery! I have a few plants from there. I wish there were more places like this.

Yes, the two gentlemen are Tall. Parts of this video were amusing. Very informative.

Wow... So many Asian fruits in one spot.. Fruit heaven

My idea of paradise and so wish I was there! Mind blowing video. Very Blessed people at the Exotica.

I've always wanted to go to Exotica but I don't live in Cali, so this is a treat. Thanks Wendi!

love this episode! this nursery is amazing!!!!

I remember Steve taking all the seeds he could from a retreat in FL. No one apperciated it.

I've been waiting for someone to do extensive video on exotica!! Thx Wendy!

Sooo interesting!! I grew up with 2 large pineapple guavas in my backyard in the San Fernando valley. It’s atleast 65 years old. I’m planning on propagating from it, I hope it’s not too hard.

I love exotica did you buy anything Wendi?

Are they very tall or is she very short?

I think this is the best video made at your nursery Steve,you guys really know your fruits!!👍great info!! Wendy enjoyed you as well, you really described the taste of some awesome fruits I have never tried. I can't waite to visit Exotica!! comming to purchase some fruit trees,hope I can bring them back to phoenix. Thanks for sharing👍Awsome video👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Do you ship plants?

Wow!!! It would an experience of a life time for me. There is no place like this where I live.

It's an amazing place to visit and to find unique plants.

you're tiny next to the growers =) i'm 4'9" myself, so it's nice to see it on other people

Epic video, Wendi! Thank you soooo much! :) Hugs from Los Angeles.

Amazing. Mouth watering

Haha, Wendi, you are such an itty bitty ....lol. Had not seen this video yet. Good one.

I'll definitely be stopping by to pick up an ice cream bean tree

Wow, I wish we had something like this in North Dakota😭😭😭

El paraíso :) Saludos desde Uruguay

Wow this is soo cool, wish I was there too🤣

Great video.

Pineapple guava I eat with skin when ripe n together taste delicious

Great video!

Wow! Thanku

Most of Hawaii grow the pink Guava mostly for juice. They have many factories ive been to. They all grow the pink Guava. Really there's no such thing, except a handful of species that grow naturally as fruits in Hawaii, most of them have been Imported over the last 100 years

Sweet video

Saw this video and will head down there in 8 hrs.. I thought this video was only 3 weeks old.. so not sure what fruits will be avail for sampling...

Thanks Wendi great info! What is the best way to grow gananbana tree?

Yes, Love it but listen to the traffic

Welp, look like i need a day trip at Exotica soon

I’m looking for tree cucumber plant ( bilimbi). We live in the Bay Area. Will this plant thrive here?

Do they have banana plants? I'm looking for a place to get one probably in April 2018. I'm in Corona, so Vista would be an okay drive if they have some, but would like to check online before making the drive there.

When did you go wendi? I went early February and they barely had anything.

Carob pods!!!

Do they sell & ship seeds or scions

hey wendi are they giants or what?

Just came across this how did I miss?

need a seedless guava

And they had amazing night that day

He would take as much as he could of seeds from private homes without asking, thats the way he is, he'll take all he can get for free, like taking branches from a fig tree that he tresspased into.

What can i grow in Texas that is Exotica

Ok

She appears to be standing next to a giraffe. LOL

Boy, they really need to work on their web page. It just goes to a rapid-fire video tour of a bunch of plants with no audio or time index. Do they have a print catalog? How does a person order from them by mail? There is no online order form?

Do they open for tourists?

could we get some seeds from you ,dears?🏡

Sapodilla dont waste your time. Only Alano is self pollinating and that can take up to 12 years, if ever. Its good that you try, but grows to slow in CA. Nice fruit if you're in the tropics.

Those pineapple guavas have been growing in my front yard for over 15 years, never knew what they were called but to me they tasted like puke. I haven't tried them since I was a child so maybe I'll give it another taste when it has fruit.

know your stuff before you buy, they sold me a mango tree that had anthracnose but I didn't know it until I researched it afterwards. You'd think they would have kept a sickly tree off the lot but they sold it to this sucker, so congrats. Just not going to go there again.

Wendi, do you have a RU-vid button?

The dude looks like a giant next to her

Steve still looks malnourished after all these years

These guys do atleast their body weight in crack per month
