I am also buying blackberries, pomegranate, figs, muscadine (scuppernongs), persimmons, plums and pears. All of these will be used to fill the lot that I am still clearing off. The backhoe comes Nov 12 for stump removal. That and about 50 yards of dirt to fill and level off everything and I'll be ready to lay it out. I am trying to maximize the space and use all of it except for some play area for the kids. With all that in mind I need to find the best value for my dollar. I hope to get a volume discount from someone. It's hard to do though as the varieties I want may not be available from a single supplier even one that specializes in a particular fruit. I'm open to suggestions. |
First, good luck with your project. It sounds very exciting! Since you live in the Sunshine state I would think you could find some one that specializes in fruit trees (most of what you want fall into that category). I would go to a wholesale nursery and see if they will do business with you. Many times they will as you will be spending a fair amount of money. Maybe your backhoe person has some connections. I go to a wholesale nursery here in Santa Barbara. You do have Going Bananas in Florida. I have never purchased from them but I have heard good things. You also have Agri Starts in Florida and they do have many of what you are looking for though they are TC plants. I have purchased from them before. Lastly, you have some great members from this forum in your area that could be a resource.
Good luck!
