Tired of watching your tropical dreams wither faster than a tourist’s sunscreen? Welcome to Leaf It to Jene, the only podcast where paradise gets planted… and then gently roasted with puns.
Host Jene of Jene’s Tropicals (St. Pete’s greenest pit-stop on the way to Treasure Island Beach) is here to help you get your green thumb back for good—no musical-chairs transplanting required. She’ll spill the dirt on salt-tolerant stunners like the brilliant-red Jatropha, sandpaper-leaf Geiger trees, weeping hibiscus that hang like graceful drama queens, golden-shower Cassias that rain yellow happiness, and the show-stopping Royal Poinciana (a.k.a. the tree that basically grows overnight and makes Texans weak in the knees).
Expect practical tips (best time to plant? Yesterday. Second-best time? Right after you finish listening), pest drama (looking at you, cottony-cushion scale), and enough flower-power to make your landscape pop year-round. Whether you’ve got a sprawling yard or a pot on the patio, Jene’s got a tree that’ll branch out just for you.
Tune in every Saturday and remember: trees are permanent fixtures… so choose wisely, plant promptly, and never leaf your paradise to chance. Find her at tropicalfruit.com or roll up to 6831 Central Avenue—she’ll even babysit your new leafy friends while you hit the beach.
