Hey there. My name is Matthew Rowlings.
I have a degree in Biology from the University of Florida and am also an Active Florida Master Gardener (100+ Volunteer Hours).
I am located in Central Florida (Zone 10A) and have 7+ years of hands-on experience with growing, propagating, and grafting 20+ types of tropical fruit trees & tropical ornamental trees on my 0.15 acre suburban lot (scroll down to see everything I’m growing).
I created Tropical Tree Guide to be a resource for tree enthusiasts, homeowners and nurseries alike. My goal with this site is to provide you with realistic, proven & actionable information in order to successfully grow a variety of tropical trees.
The information on this website is derived from my first-hand experience, discussions with fellow growers, and peer-reviewed research. I have also had the pleasure to interview some of the world’s leading tropical tree experts including but not limited to:
