This is one of the best sources of rare semi-tropical/tropical fruit trees! I bought six plants a year ago and they're all thriving.
Yes, the staff aren't friendly but i'm not going here for conversation.
Look at their list of plants and know what you want before you go.

This has always been the place to buy tropical fruit trees. The prices are very fair and the quality of the trees is excellent. The customer service is usually very good. And the owners are extremely knowledgeable.

Excalibur fruit trees is my absolute #1 source for fruit trees not only because of the insane selection of fruit trees of all sizes and rarities but also because the staff is both friendly and knowledgable.
Bob took me on my golfcart tour and was telling me about a Black Sapote. He insisted that this fruit tasted just like chocolate pudding and upon my scepticism, he promptly took me to his house (located on property) and pulled a black sapote off of HIS tree for me to sample. Let me assure you that it tasted enough like chocolate pudding for me to buy 2 of them.
I have also taken tours with Wilson who is equally knowledgable about the various fruit trees and allowed me to sample a Durian that they had sitting there. Although it tasted like how I would imagine a seat in an outhouse would taste, it was still a unique experience.
They price all of their trees very fairly and the staff always helps you select the very best available. I can not rave enough about this place and highly reccomend it to anyone who is in the market for a fruit tree and lives within a 2 hour drive (I commute 1 hour and 20 mins to get there and it is well worth it).

Excellent Source for Tropical Fruits Trees. I Travelled 45 miles to this Nursery. I was amazed with Number and Varieties of Trees. Guide was very Helpful. I got Makok sapodilla and Emperor Lychee Trees. In Regular Nurseries,You do not get what you are looking for. This place has full Listings of Tropical fruit Trees. I will love to come back to this place to get more Trees. We had good Discussion about Different Varieties of Mango Trees and which can be suitable for south Florida.
Highly Recommend for anybody who is looking for Exact Tropical Fruits Trees/Rare Fruits Trees

I wish I had found them before buying more than 15 trees at the major home improvement stores in Boynton Beach.

I decided to go and check them out because I wanted grumichamma trees and couldn't find it anywhere. We made this a family outing

Upon arrival I was greeted and asked what it is I was looking for, we were all loaded onto a golf cart - the nursery is so large, and driven to the grumichmma's, I bought two for about half the price of a store bought 3-5 gal tree and one already had flowers on them.

I was also interested in a sapodilla, but on the way I spotted some very large star fruits and asked my guide about it as I wasn't sure how they tasted, he stopped, walked into the rows of trees and came back with a huge ripe start fruit, produced his pocket knife and cut each of us a piece, needless to say, I was so impressed, I bought one !

Not only are the trees very reasonably priced, but for about the same price as the major home improvement garden centers, you can get substantially bigger/more vigorous trees.

If I had a bigger budget, I would be back - the problem is I will easily blow it at this nursery, they not only have fruit trees but a large selection of other tropical plants.

They only accept cash or checks, so be prepared.

On our way out, I asked if he had a sapodilla fruit I could taste, he said sure, walked back to the tent and came back and handed me a sapodilla - thats another story, I'm not quite sure I like the sapodilla.

I will be back to buy a jaboticaba and possibly others (if I still have space left) !

I LOVE this place !

P.S. we arrived during lunch time - anyone is welcome to sit at the table and enjoy a soda and slice of pizza !

Excalibur has an astounding selection of tropical fruit trees. I was amazed to find durian, chempedak, abiu and grafted mangosteens in stock. The owner is an encyclopedia of horticultural knowledge and quite willing to discuss the care of particular species. Highly recommended.

I've visited these guys several times. This is South Florida's premier tropical fruit nursery. The owner is highly regarded in the local tropical fruit community. He has introduced several new varieties of rare tropical fruits from all over the world.

Excalibury carries a huge stock of the more common tropical fruit trees in addition to an overwhelming stock of rare and hard-to-find varieties. Moreover, they carry an array of sizes from 3 gallon up to several hundred gallon liners. Some of the prices might be slightly more than what you would pay at a competing nursery, but overall they are fairly reasonable. And, if you are looking for hard to find varieties, this is the only place where you will find it.

Quite possible the best source for tropical fruit trees in palm beach county. I have been to this nursery multiple times and every time i leave with some excellent quality trees. The nursery is located on 15 acres and has the widest variety and largest selection of anywhere else i have come across in palm beach. The staff and owners are very knowledgeable and can answer almost any question about the fruit and how to take care of the trees. The prices are alright. Not to expensive.
