Each spring we provide you with some of the hottest hardy tropical plants around.  Of course, we’ll have bananas, shell gingers, and elephant ears.  We have several varieties suitable for houseplants.

Fruit Trees:

Somewhere in your kitchen is an empty jar waiting to be filled with homemade preserves.  Don’t disappoint your jars!  We have blueberries, pears, apples, peaches, blackberries, and figs!  We have goji berries and pineapple guava!  We will also have papayas and Myer lemons.

Asian selections:

Get your garden feng shui going with our selection of plants that are suited for Japanese style gardens including lots of evergreen confers of all sizes. Make a garden statement with a Kwanzan Cherry, Edgeworthia, or unique Japanese Maple.  All of our selections are non-invasive.
