Oldsurfer (ofdsurfer), is this the complete list, meaning Pine Island Nursery is the only supplier?  Or will other nurseries be participating?

John they usually have a seperate citrus tree provider.  I dont have that list.  Also that is what was brought to the sale the members had their sale yesterday so they bought up some of the inventory already.

Ofdsurfer thanks for posting the sheet!

I snagged a Restinga, Grimal and ESALQ. All were well over 10”, probably 2-3 year old trees in a 3gal

At least I know where to go for jaboticaba and soursop in the future--PIN (South Miami-Dade)!  Between Lara Farms and PIN every tree other than mango seems to be covered.

How quickly did everything sell out at the sale? Is everyone in Florida suddenly interested in growing fruit trees like they are in Cali?

OC CRFG had a two day sale here last weekend that sold out 1000 trees after about 3 hours.

Idk yet how quickly they sold out yet, was there fri, but not sat. 

To your second question tho, that is a definite yes, everyone just figured out it’s fun to go outside and plant trees, especially now with less options and more time home since a lot of people are working from home too and all that.  Nurseries have had trouble stocking stuff and I also heard they got cleaned out after the freak cold in Texas killed a lot of trees.  Seeing what looks like it should be 1gal or even quart size potted mangos selling in 3gals for $50.

Luckily for anyone who made it out to the sale tho, the prices were still fair ~$35-40, and the trees were decent size.

So sad I just found out about this. I would've loved buying two sugar apples.
