PLANT SUGGESTIONS

[PM239]

Friday I will be visiting ECHO, Pine Island Nursery, and Excalibur Nursery.   I am particularly looking for suggestion for Avocado varieties, but if there are any trees you think I shouldn't miss out on, please feel free to comment.  Thanks!

***  NO MANGOES please, I will already be at my limit, after this trip.

Lychee?

Get yourself a jaboticaba! They don't take up much room, are not super difficult to care for, cold hardy, and are consistent producers. Also they look cool when they fruit!

Echo just received some nice green sapote and pitangatuba.

I second Lychee and jaboticaba.

You might look at sugar apples too. I love mine.

Loquats are another good low stress, low work tree. Only the deer bother mine and some look awesome with fruit.

If you are at Pine Island,  hit up Lara's for their Hawaiian Green Sapote.   The have some top notch custard apples too, San Fernandez probably being the best with San Pablo a close second.

Atemoya. Lots and lots of atemoya.

Thanks Everyone, I did get a Green Sapote from ECHO...
All of their trees were is super health and nice size.
I will have to look up Lara's and see if I can squeeze it in.
I have Lychees, and a few Jabo's.  Thanks for the responses

[PM239]

Trying to squeeze Pine Is, Lara's, Going Bananas, and Excalabur (for the 2nd time) tomorrow...
Maybe Redlands for a few Palms.
Thanks Again

If you go to Going Bananas,  be sure to grab a bag or 2 of their fertilizer, depending on howany bananas you have in the ground at home.

If you are still on the West Coast, you may want to alao try and visit FruitScaprs.  See what atemoyas they ave other than Gefner.

End up with a total of 55 trees, and did make it by Lara's, thanks so much for the recommendation.   I got a San Fernandez Sugar Apple, and the Hawaiian Green Sapote you recommended as well.  I still do not own an Atemoya tho, so I need to pick up a couple.

[PM239]

I did get a large bag of the Going Bananas fertilizer, glad to hear you recommend it too

[Tropheus76]

Just for conversation, it sounded like you were traveling on vacation to these places, but you bought 55 trees. How are you getting that many trees home?

[PM239]

I have a 4 door long bed pickup...
I own a trailer, but really didnt want to pull it as I made a full circle around the south...
I was surprised myself tho on the way home that the were 55 plants 3gal
