Desert Tropicals is NOT a nursery, we do not sell plants
It is just a site intended to provide free information on many plants including some rare ones.

We have been spending a lot of energy on a new website, more focused on Arizona gardening. You could go and have a look at gardeningInArizona.com

We do sell CDs with plant information. These CDs help supporting the site. You can buy them online here, or find them in some nurseries and garden center.

Desert-Tropicals.com has 4 CD-ROMs for sale.

In the Phoenix area, you can buy the CD-ROMs at:

Desert Gardens Nursery
