The Trompo Canistel, affectionately called the “egg fruit”, is one of the most unusual — and rewarding — tropical fruits you can grow. Selected by the University of Florida for its excellent quality and productivity, this tree earns its name from the fruit’s distinctive, top-like shape (“trompo” means spinning top in Spanish).
Flavor & Texture: Sweet, smooth, and custard-like with a texture resembling cooked egg yolk
Uses: Fantastic in milkshakes, smoothies, custards, baking, and ice cream
Fruit Size: Large, averaging 8–15 oz per fruit with 1–4 seeds
Seasons: Bears in two main seasons – Sept/Oct and again Feb–May
Cold Tolerance: Young trees down to 29°F, mature trees down to 23°F
With its vibrant yellow-orange skin, rich flavor, and high nutritional value, Trompo is a must-have for gardeners seeking something truly different. It’s loaded with potassium and vitamins, and its dense, dry flesh holds up beautifully in recipes where other fruits would break down.
Whether you’re a fruit collector, a creative cook, or just want something unusual and conversation-worthy in your yard, Trompo Canistel delivers. Beautiful, productive, and full of personality — this is one fruit tree that stands out in every way.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
