Exotica Rare Fruit Nursery was born from founder Steve Spangler’s passion for rare and exotic fruits. Over the years, he traveled across Ecuador, Fiji, Burma, and beyond, collecting unique fruit seeds and bringing them back to cultivate. His five-acre nursery now houses over 1,200 varieties, offering fruit lovers the chance to grow their own tropical delights. More than just a nursery, Exotica is a place where stories, flavors, and cultures come to life—one tree at a time.
A visit to Exotica Rare Fruit Farm feels like stepping into a tropical paradise. Our lush nursery is home to a vast collection of rare fruit trees, from the Chocolate Pudding Fruit (Black Sapote) to the legendary Jabuticaba. Each plant has been carefully nurtured, many from Steve’s global travels. Whether you want a backyard mango tree or an ultra-rare exotic fruit, Exotica is where your growing adventure begins.
