Healthy, full, and worth recommending
I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.
The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.
I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.
Thank you so much!
