 It's all about the mangos! Oh- and the avocados, too!

We have restocked our avocado and mango trees. They are grafted and available in 3 or 7 gallon pots. Our trees are grafted and range in price from $30-$50 depending on size. Some varieties of avocado we carry are Oro Negro (Black Gold), Winter Mexican, Mexicola, Brogdon, Florida Hass (or Florida Haas), Hall, and Choquette to name a few.

Did you know that you can pick when your avocado tree fruits? Summer, fall, or winter- the choice is yours. We select cold-tolerant varieties -the size of the tree and its fruit can vary. Feel free to consult with Don about what's available and what avocado tree best suits your space.

Do you want an avocado tree and aren't sure where to plant it? These trees can take the heat. Plant in full sun for best results, don't plant it too deep. In other words, plant it...don't bury it. Last, but most important with avocado- excellent drainage. No stones or rock or weed barrier should be used around your fruit trees. Please keep the area under your fruit tree canopy clear, water regularly, and use a nice time release fertilizer. Many fruiting trees love our climate, but may not fruit well without food and water.

Mango trees are also available. We have Carey, Cogshall, Pickering, Glenn, 76, Valencia Pride and a few other varieties also in stock. They are grafted. Please remember that mango trees are more cold sensitive than most avocado. They also blossom in the winter, so make sure you are in a warm enough spot for these wonderful tasty fruiting trees before planting one. When in doubt- most yards tend to be warmest on the south or west side. Mango trees fruit in the summer, a most delicious reward for those sweating out the summer in Florida :)

Speaking of sweating- if you find it too hot to catch up with us at the farmers markets please contact Don to schedule your visit to the nursery. (941) 276-7758 is Don's cell number.

On Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012 from 10-4 we will be having an 'open house' at our nursery. You do not need to call ahead to arrange your visit on this day. We will be expecting you! If you need directions or are looking for something specific- please try to call before 10 am and we will be happy to direct you. During the sale we may not be prompt on the phone if we have a larger turnout of customers.

Many items like palms will be on clearance. Others will be at our regular great prices and some will be going up in price come January. We have many varieties of avocado, mango, citrus, and other fruiting plants as well. But most of our clearance will be palms, shrubs, and some hard to find odds and ends like golden chalice, tibouchina (glory bush) and corn plants, etc.
