At Tropical Fruit World, we're known for growing rare and exotic fruit—but we're also passionate about sustainable farming techniques that improve the way tropical fruit trees are cultivated.

One of the most exciting developments in our nursery this year is the successful use of inverted root grafting on Mamey Sapote trees. This advanced grafting method has the potential to revolutionise how we grow sapotes—leading to dwarf trees, more compact branching, and earlier fruit production.

At Tropical Fruit World, we believe in growing produce that not only nourishes our visitors, but also supports the sustainability of our land. One of the most remarkable trees on our farm is the jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus)—a powerhouse of both utility and nutrition. Known for producing the world’s largest tree-borne fruit, jackfruit is more than just a tropical delicacy; it plays a crucial role in our farm’s ecosystem and agricultural strategy.

When it comes to tropical fruits, there’s so much more to explore beyond the usual mangoes and pineapples. One of the true hidden gems is the Achacha fruit—a deliciously tangy and sweet tropical fruit that’s slowly gaining popularity. Originally from the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Achacha (Garcinia humilis) is grown right here on our tropical fruit farm in Tweed Valley, Australia where it has become a strong favorite among both our team and visitors.

If you’re looking for something truly special, pink dragon fruit is a must-try. This rare and exotic fruit, also known as pitaya, is one of the most stunning tropical fruits you’ll ever see—and it tastes just as incredible as it looks.

While dragon fruit is grown in various regions, the pink variety remains a rarity, and we’re proud to say that our farm is one of the few places where you can experience it fresh from the source.
