Buying fruit trees in Belize?

Well, my kids have up and bought a farm in Belize!
It's going to be a cacao farm/B&B (my son is a chocolatier by trade...).
Right now it is planted with mango, coconut, cashew and pineapple. His pictures also showed a variety of frangipani and some wild type (guessing not very tasty) type of dragon fruit. Plenty of mahogany for building things.
Anybody on the forum familiar with Belize and know of any good places to buy fruit trees there?
They are near Belmopan, and have located one nursery so far...
Can hardly wait to visit!! I have my USDA permit and seed collecting kit all ready!

I am Belizean, but haven't been back home since 2013, before I got into fruit trees 😞. I wish I could help, but I hope your son loves my country!!! I miss it so badly. BTW, fun fact, Belize has the largest living barrier coral Reef in the world!!!

That’s great.
Not too sure about Belice but nearby in thenRio Dulce area of Guatemala my friend Dwight of Frutas del Mundo has a large cutting edge nursery. We’ve done some stuff and he’s gotten material from me including Musang king durian.

Finca, they are only 14 miles from Guatemala, so that may work.
Iceman, so sorry you haven't been back in a while. My kids are nuts about the place! I am planning on diving the reef when we go down. Not so sure about the Blue Hole. Creeps me out...
