Lara farms = awesome
« on: February 23, 2022, 11:46:38 PM »
Anyone looking for awesome grafted fruit trees check out Lara farms.  Super reasonable and shipping is also very reasonable.   And I live in Hawaii!!!   I just got 6 jackfruit trees today.  They arrived packaged incredibly well.  Healthy and happy.    Shipping was like $138 for these 6 trees to Hawaii.  Top tropicals was literally $679 to ship 6 jackfruits.  No exaggeration.   What a joke.   Anyways these jackfruits arrived today After almost a week of shipping to get here.   I was shocked how good they looked.  Potting soil was still wet inside packaging. 🤯.   

I also ordered 25 grafted mango trees from them.   (Arriving tomorrow) Will post pics of how they arrive.   But Julian over there is doing a great job.   Check em out.   










With 3 acres of prime real estate for growing tropicals... why not create my own garden of eden?? Work in progress

This is great! I've been meaning to buy a Ross canistel (just to try the fruit, I've read its great) from him, but I've been waiting till it warms up in Washington. Too cold to ship anything right now. :(

I purchased a few trees from him and I was also impressed. The trees were packaged for shipping better than any other seller I've purchased from and shipping was very reasonable to California, which is great since many sellers won't even ship to California at all.

He's going to be grafting a lot of unique varieties that he likes, such as Campbell white sapote, and Lolo and Ronnie avocados.  Can't wait!  I think he's going to have Butterscotch sapodilla, too.

I just ordered a mango and avocado from Julian. Much closer and cheaper to ship  8). Looking forward to getting them in the ground. Those mangos look great and not pot bound.

Mangos arrived today. 26 of em.  Amazing packaging.   All in great condition. 














1700 ft, your on the border. Mangoes are a low elevation fruit tree. But the trees might not know it.

All those trees should be 4-5 ft now. Would be nice to see updated photos. Very nice array of mango varieties.
