Exotic Fruit Nursery

​Exotic Fruit Nursery is a small and unique organic nursery business located on our 33 sunny acres in Lunenburg on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada.

We specialize in the sourcing, sale, propagation, and growing of hardy uncommon and easy-to-care-for fruit trees and other unusual edible fruit and perennial plants suited for the climate of the South Shore. Everything we do at our nursery is guided by sustainability and permaculture principles.

We carry delicacies such as Pawpaws, Persimmons, Passionfruit, Chilean and Pineapple Guavas, Mulberries, Figs, Nut trees and hardy Citrus.
One of our favourites in the greenhouse is the Pineapple Guava, - a beautiful small tree covered in large fragrant edible flowers that melt in your mouth like marshmallows. The fruit also are delicious and refreshing.

We started the uncommon fruit nursery because we really like plants and fruit - but mostly because we care about our community, environment, food security and health.

With the EXOTIC FRUIT NURSERY we strive to:

• Make fresh fruit growing fun and affordable
• Enrich our local food supply by bringing delicious and nutritious delicacies to the area
• Reduce the carbon footprint by growing exotics locally
• Extend our growing season with uncommon fruit that grow nearly year round
• Create a food forest and edible landscape for people to visit, enjoy and learn

​We offer fruit trees, bushes and vines at compatible prizes as well as expert advise on plant care, growing and fruit production. In our ever expanding Showcase Food Forest Orchard, Garden and Greenhouse we grow the plants we sell and test them for disease resistance, hardiness, fruit production and taste. All our plants are organically grown and we also mix our own organic potting soil.

We are open for plant sales Fridays and Saturdays from 10am-5pm. All other days by appointment.
