We're hoping too, shot . . . Through your farm, we've been able to try for the first time: Black Sapote, Ross Sapote, Canistel, Ice Cream Bean, Rollinia, and probably a couple other things I can't think of now, as well as top tier Mangos and Jackfruit and Sapodilla and Longan and Lychee picked at the perfect time. It's been our go-to for the best fruit fix. Looking forward to future visits.

I concur with your sentiments fliptop. If my Energizer battery would hold a charge and I wasn't so short-winded I would offer to come help but I would just be in the way. I too am looking forward to a future visit when it's appropriate to do so. If shot needs a small mango care package. I be willing to deliver.🙂
Send me a PM if you get a craving for mango that goes unfilled.
Should have Surplus of VP and Bombay

Sort of a related question so i didn't want to start a new post. (Sorry for derailing the thread Bovine, I'll pick up some doubles for you next time you are in the area)
I'll be in the Port Charlotte area in a few weeks, I'm looking to pick about a few grafted persimmon (Kaki on native stock).
SE Florida seems to be all out and I know the hurricane recovery in SW Florida still has ways to go.
Does anyone have any nursery recommendations?

I’d also like to know. I am oddly drawn to PI and would support members businesses there.

Around Christmas, I spoke to the owner of a mango farm on stringfellow road (not Fruitscapes) and he did not think he’d have any mango for this year. His farm was impassable from all the fallen trees, he told me.
