Is John Painter/Pantropic Groves still doing retail fruit and/or tree sales at his home/orchard on Pine Island in Bokeelia?  If so is does he have hours or a preferred protocol before stopping by his place?  Someone said last time they were there it looked like he had taken down his sign.  Thanks.

Blessed be the man who plants a tree knowing he will never live to enjoy it's fruit or shade.

Yes, he does sell retail from time to time. He puts out a sign on the main road (intersection of Stringfellow & Cubles) showing what is available sometimes. I don't know specifics or if that has changed. I saw the sign for black sapote a week or two ago.
He is on here and may see your question.

Thanks I was down there last year and I just happened to be there on a day he was closed....a Monday I think.   Better perimeter camera security system than the White House.
