Rare Fruit Trail
Our 10-acre parcel of land has a protected warm micro-climate, and is notably frost-free. Because of these unusual environmental conditions, the Park is able to showcase collections of rare palms, fruits, flowering trees, and other subtropical plants.
In 2008, the Manatee Rare Fruit Council planted and continues to maintain an extensive exotic fruit tree section that includes the following: star fruit, dragon fruit, fig, guava, canistel, bird plum, African breadfruit, jackfruit, loquat, lychee, persimmon, pomelo, sapodilla, strawberry tree, sugar apple, Surinam cherry, tamarind, white sapote, ylang ylang, papaya, mulberry, noni, etc.
Book A Tour

The suggested donation to help support the park is $10 per person.
