TROPIC TRADITIONS, INC.
NEWBERRY, FLORIDA

Tropic Traditions, Inc., originally founded in Miami, Florida in 1981, has established itself as a premier provider of premium quality native and coastal trees and shrubs, with an expanding focus on cold hardy palms. Starting as a high-end residential lawn and maintenance service, Tropic Traditions diversified their offerings to include commercial landscape services across Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties by 1987. After relocating to Homestead's Redlands area in the same year, the company enhanced its operations with additional nursery capabilities, supporting both design/build projects and trade demands for quality plant materials. Despite the devastation caused by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Tropic Traditions diligently rebuilt and expanded their business. Their dedication earned them a sterling reputation in restoring homes and commercial accounts throughout South Florida, further bolstering client trust. In pursuit of diversification, the company acquired property in Alachua County in 1993, leading to the establishment of a new nursery in Gainesville, Florida in 1996. This expansion allowed for seamless coordination between North Central and South Florida locations until their focus shifted entirely to wholesaling from Alachua County by 2002. With over 90 acres dedicated to cultivation in Alachua County, Tropic Traditions is known for its extensive inventory of cold hardy palms, distributing high-quality products across the Southeastern United States and parts of Canada. Registered as a Domestic Profit Corporation (DOMP) under Florida state business codes since November 6, 1989, the company maintains official headquarters in Newberry, FL with President James L. Fleming leading its operations. For further information, Tropic Traditions can be reached via their website at tropictraditions.com.
