Lots of good information.. thank you! I planted several this year is several areas of my yard that retain water after storms, and so far they are doing well.
Newbie planter here, just picked up a Simpson Stopper today. Hope to have a lush backyard one day full of native plants. Thanks for this informative video.
Thanks for the great information. I am definitely going to plant one in my yard. This will get me started on my plan. I saw them at Little Red Wagon nursery some months ago.
I know they grow really easily from seed, but I have not tried to grow them from cuttings. The Florida Wildflower Foundation recommends seeds or air layering for propagation. I'll try experimenting with cuttings in the spring and report back.
I have a dozen I put it in a couple of years ago but I really have not seen them thrive unfortunately. The one primarily in the shade that I put in first actually looks the worst. Any tips? a couple of months ago I fed them with a 6/6/6. I’m in Orlando and we’ve had a fairly wet winter. I’ve also done some supplemental watering just on a drip but try to let the soil dry in the top couple of inches between waterings.
Hello and thank you so much for watching! I am so sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Simpson Stoppers. It is incredibly difficult to diagnose your specific situation without being there to see their specific living arrangement. My advice would be to reach out to either your local gardening extension services office. They work out of UF, but have offices in all major counties. You could also contact your local native plant nursery. The two that come to mind are the lovely folks at Green Isle gardens and Lukas nursery. You could also check out the FANN.org website to locate nurseries and other native plant experts in your area.
Hello and thank you for watching! Our apologies for not answering your question sooner. Native plant nurseries are your best option for finding native plants and I use the FANN.org website to locate native plant nurseries by zip code. In our area we use Wilcox Nursery in Largo, but there is also Little Red Wagon nursery in Tampa as well as Sweet Bay nursery in Parrish. ☺
Great suggestion! I forget sometimes that they have a cute shop and a nursery. We love Bok Tower gardens. They are preserving some of Florida's most rare native plants there and it is just a gorgeous place to spend an afternoon. : )

They are lovely. 😊
Neat plant. I don't think I have the right situation for it, but I bet the birds love it.
Neat plant bet the birds enjoy that fruit. May try to get one of these just for the birds. Do you know is it easy to propagate through cuttings?

I bought mine at Box Tower, they have a nursery there!

Looks like an average fruit tree. I guess all fruit trees are beautiful.
Hello there and thank you so much for watching! Yes, we find all plants to be quite beautiful.
