Welcome to the exciting world of exotic fruit growing! Rivers End Nursery and Farm has developed over the last 18 years from a vision of enjoying delicious tropical fruits from around the world and introducing these trees and fruits to interested folks in subtropical/tropical locations. We also offer bamboo, flowering trees, palms, landscape specimens, natural plant and soil amendments to enchance your landscape.

On this site we have given the most common English name, the genus/species and in some cases other common names by which the tree/fruit may be known in other cultures. The tree/fruit descriptions are followed by the minimum temperature tolerated before damage will occur. (This will also be influenced by several other factors such as location, health, state of growth, etc.). After this are listed the selected cultivars with characteristics noted.

PLEASE NOTE: Because Tropical and Subtropical Fruit trees require conditions that are sometimes not typical in our region or yours, we cannot be responsible for our plants once they leave the nursery.
*Items over 3 gallons are sold for pick-up only. They will not be shipped.

How About Green Friday….

Every year I get caught up in the Holiday Rush, not camping at the store waiting for the opening bell but the frantic need to get this and that done before the calm of our South Texas winter.  Planting, feeding and pruning- they are the chores of Fall.  But  those efforts do yield a yard of red bouganvillas and orange tangerines, gardens of flowers, fruits and herbs during the most pleasant time of the year when we want to be outside enjoying our gardens.

Being able to share these rewards is our most favorite gift to give at the Holidays.   Sending a box of sunshine via our beautiful grapefruit or oranges or tangerines, with that special tropical treat of Starfruit and Sapodillas lets our friends and family know that we wish them good health and happiness for Holidays.  And taking the flavors of our fruits and bottling them as a jelly or jam lets us all savor them long after the harvest.

Fresh fruit, jellies, jams and marmalades, quick bread and fruitcakes – consider sharing the bounty of your garden this Holiday.
