The garden is a private, nonprofit property of about 1 hectare (2.5 acres) at 470 63rd Trail North in West Palm Beach. It is not a public park with daily opening, so arrange a visit with the owner before travelling. The compact grounds and the 30-metre tree canopy mean a walk-through takes little time.
The garden's canopy reaches about 30 metres (100 ft) high, tall enough to stand under mature tropical fruit trees. Among roughly 2,500 plant varieties are 160-plus fruit trees, including 40 types of citrus and 35 types of banana and plantain. Less familiar specimens such as jaboticaba, black sapote, jackfruit and carambola also grow here.
