By definition these are fruit trees that originate in and generally require a warm environment. However this does not mean that all ‘tropical fruit trees’ need to be grown in the tropics.
A sheltered warm position in a sub tropical to temperate climate can be a successful environment for growing some tropical fruit.
A number of new cultivars of some varieties of tropical trees are also being released which will cope with a wider range of conditions.
A number of what are regarded as ‘Tropical’ or ‘Sub Tropical’ varieties are well suited to growing in cooler climates.
Tamarillo Trees will grow well as far south as Melbourne in a protected position. Macadamia nut trees can be found growing in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.
It is always best to find some local knowledge when looking for any fruit trees suited to your particular climate.
Nurseries in Australia provide a wide and varied number of fruits suitable for the home garden and commercial nursery alike.
