Tropical fruits are those that are usually grown and originate in frost-free areas of the world. Common examples include bananas, pineapples, papayas. Others, such as durian and mangosteen, aren't as well known world-wide, and often limited to a smaller geographical area. Sites listed here are about growing these fruits in home gardens and greenhouses.
