Best Places to mail order Lemon Zest Mango tree
« on: January 25, 2015, 02:33:32 PM »
Hello all

I am looking to buy a Lemon Zest mango tree.  Where would be the best place to buy?

I live in the Orlando area, so mail order would probably be best.

Thank You

Can't you just drive 1.5 - 2 hours down to Palm beach and buy one?

If you make the drive to Palm City , Mike from Treesnmore has a steal for $50.

Thank you for the suggestions.

savemejebus - I can make the drive.  It is just the time and money.

bsbullie - That looks like a great deal.  With the drive it would be about $30 in gas plus 4.5 hours of time and wear and tear. 

If I could get good one delivered for $80 it would still be worth it to mail order.

I have bought from PoG and PIN before.  Both worked out just fine for me, but they don't seam to carry this variety right now.

I drove 300 miles round trip to Trees N More yesterday.  Mike is a good guy.  He patiently answered all my questions, gave me a few tips, and showed me his nursery.  The trees looked good for $50 in 15 gallon containers.  I was pleasantly surprised when I got home and realized the tree's root system almost filled the whole 15 gallon.  Super healthy root system that reached to within an inch of the edge of the container. 

Thank you for the suggestion.  I am really happy with trees.

Without a doubt Green Jungle Nursery on Goldenrod.  Contact Bob and tell him Marley sent you (407) 277-7444.  I almost got a LZ last weekend as he had some nice ones however I had to stay focused on a Malika and Carrie I went there for:)  Most of his trees are really nice and his prices can't be beat.  You will be very happy you went.

You did not just buy a tree. The long trip was worth it because you learned a lot. You can learn a lot just by looking at what another guy has going on. How he arranges his planted fruit trees and greenery. In this case at Mike's nursery.

You don't get this with mail order

Mike was very nice.  He spent an hour showing me his nursery and answering questions.  I am glad I met him.

Looking for the same, but for me in Texas a drive wouldn't be possible. :)

Any ideas on where to order one from? I've ordered in the past from PoG, it looks like they have them, but just wanted to see what my other options are. PIN doesn't seem to, but I haven't called them, do they have varieties that aren't listed on their site?
