Healthy tree

Tree arrived in a very healthy state. FedEx beat a hole into the side like they usually do, but it didn't harm the plant at all. I thought the price was a bit steep at first ordering, but the tree was actually significantly taller than I had expected. Money well spent.

Feeling Fruitful!!

All of the trees I ordered (total of 6) from Everglades Farm arrived in prime condition and were very hearty. The starfruit tree specifically was very mature, with a thick trunk and healthy leaves and branches. There were even a few fruit on the tree that are continuing to grow!! I am extremely happy with my purchase and will be ordering from this farm again soon.

Most fruit trees can be grown in a container.  Follow the recommendations below...

  2. Every 6-10 months transplant the tree to a higher capacity container

Follow the simple instructions below to plant your tree on the ground... 

  1. Choose a sunny area for planting with about 15 feet radius of clear space 
  2. Dig a hole on the ground... twice the height of the container, if possible 
  3. Do not mix any potting soil, manure, fertilizer or anything with the soil when you plant
  4. Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container 
  5. It is usually necessary to put some of the removed dirt back into the hole
  6. Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container 
  7. Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball
  8. Now is the time to fertilize. Be extra careful because trees are very susceptible to burning with excessive fertilizing
