Fast-fruiting trees
Q: It would be easier for us buyers, if we could search for plants that produce fruit in 2 years or less... I don't have the patience to wait longer than that for fruit. I'm trying to buy for a fairly good sized garden but want some fast growers and fruit produced in 2 yrs. Can you help me out?
A: Fruiting time depends on many factors (growing conditions,
fertilizing, and even specific variety), this is why we can not just put a
simple icon "will fruit within 2 years".
However, most grafted and air-layered fruit trees, including all Mango, Avocado, Loquat, Sapote, Sapodilla, Longan, Peaches and Nectarines - will fruit right away.
If you see in our store "grafted" or "air-layered" in plant description
- these trees will fruit soon. Some of them are already flowering and
fruiting!
Some non-grafted trees will fruit within a couple of years or even sooner (those from cuttings, root division or even seedlings) - such as: Annona, Artocarpus (Jackfruit), Eugenia, Guava, Banana, Dragon fruit, Mulberry, Blackberry/Raspberry. Banana, Mulberry, Dragon fruit, Blackberry-Raspberry - usually fruit within a year. You may refer to our store directory page for fruit specials.
Also, all spice trees like Bay Leaf, Bay Rum, Allspice and many more - will produce spice for you right away, so you don't need to wait at all!

Is Ugly Betty mango ugly or awesome?
A note from our customer
"...Hello my name is Gary, I bought your Ugly Betty Mango tree a little over a year ago. When I saw your photo I thought to myself why are they calling this mango ugly Betty? It doesn't look ugly at all to me. It was a deep yellowish orange with a little red to it round so what is so ugly about it? Once the fruit started developing on my tree I thought - now I understand, it's such an odd shape! However, it looks nothing like your photo and personally I thought this mango should be called Awesome Mango! I did not find it ugly at all. Here's a photo of what you call an ugly mango Betty..."

Choosing the right Mango for your garden
Q: Do the mango trees you sell already have fruit? Or how long does it take to get fruit? Are they tricky to keep up? I live locally and have been interested in getting a few!
A: Some
of our mangos in both 3 gal and 7 gal pots have fruit on
them. All our mango trees are grafted which means they are
ready to produce fruit. So if not the same year, you
should get fruit the next year.
Mangoes in general are easy to grow plants. They are not
picky about soil and water, however they need full sun for
fruiting. When you are lucky to live in tropical or
subtropical climate, your mango will thrive in a ground,
and within 2-3 years you will have a mature tree, and a
crop every year (those who have cold winters, still can
grow a mango tree in a pot, and move it indoors for colder
period). Visit our garden center for a tour of our Mango
Gardenthat is only 3 years old and is full of fruit!
Tasting table available :) We offer over 100 varieties,
and our experts can help you to make the right choice for
your garden. To start your own mango tree collection,
depending on space available, you may begin with the
following varieties:
Nam Doc Mai - one of the most
popular and delicious Asian mango
Carrie - very compact
grower, reliable producer with great taste
Cogshall and Ice Cream - dwarf varieties
for small yards, excellent taste
Alphonso - considered one of
the best tasting
