Do you sell Ghost Pepper plants?
Hi Amanda,
THanks for asking. We did sell Ghost Pepper plants last summer. We started them from seeds. If the seeds are available again this year, we will do the same. We will know sometime in April. Sorry it took so long to respond to your post. We had technology issues well into fall last year. We do not have a web manager, just hubs & I doing it when we can. Hope to see you soon and Thank you for shopping Local!
Stephanie
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for asking. We have some ghost pepper and trinidad scorpion seedlings in our greenhouse right now. The plants be available for sale mid-April to early May. Please call our nursery staff at 209 384 0513 for availability.
Hi,
I know it’s early… but do you know which tomato plants you wil be selling? I’m specifically looking for the”Mortgage Lifter” and “Brandy Boy”. I’d rather get them from you than order online.
I’ll wait to hear from you.
Thanks.
Karen
Hi Karen,
Thanks for asking. We carried Mortgage Lifter and several “boy” varieties last year. I assume our local growers will have the same or similar varieties available this year although we will not know until they show up on our official availability lists later in the spring. I am pretty sure we can provide both these varieties for you. I will keep you posted.
Thanks for shopping local!
what are the prices for a:
mission fig
bing cherry
black satin thornless blackberry
thanks
also, do you have avacado trees
and fruited mulberry trees.. i would like there prices also…
21.99 for all the trees, blackberries are $6.49 and no, we do not get fruiting mulberry. And remember, our fruit trees are grown locally which makes them uniquely adapted for the SJV and are all 2 year + rootsock. Both measures = better fruit, faster. Thanks for asking
I’d like to try and grow some assorted fruit trees on some property in Midpines. The elevation is 3,000 ft., however the property is situated between some large hills, which protect it quite a bit, from the more severe winter storms. I have 40 acres, with mostly east and west facing slopes. Direct summer sun is not an issue…..
I’m intersted in apples, peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries.
I’d really love to be able to get a couple lemon trees to grow/produce lemons here.
I guessing that trees grown from “local” stock and your knowledge of this area has to be a great asset, in my quest.
Do you have any input or words of wisdom?
Hi Greg,
Thanks for contacting us. And yes, trees grown from local stock will be an advantage! All of the fruit trees that you mention should do just fine there. Some individual fruit tree varieties are more cold tolerant than others. We would be happy to recommend those to you and show you varietal options. However, you should try and locate them to get as much sun exposure as possible. Citrus may be a challenge in your zone. Would you consider Dwarf variety that can be moved and sheltered in the winter? We have several varieties that do well in containers. Citrus must have winter protection in Midpines environment to survive. I know it is a drive from Midpines to Merced, but it would be well worth your time to meet with us and see your options. Also, we have a seminar scheduled on February 23, 2013 at 11:00 am featuring Success with Fruit Trees with guest speaker James Shao of LE Cooke. This would be an excellent resource for you. Don’t hesitate to call us at 209 384 0513 for more information. Our knowledgeable staff is available daily from 9 am – 5 pm and love to answer questions.
I was wondering if you sell lemon trees, lime trees and nopales? And how do you guys price them?
Yes Maria, Thanks fo rasking We do sell lemon and lime trees. Please call our nursery staff at 209 384 0513 for specific sizes, varieties and prices.
Hello I am looking for tropical fruit like jackfruit, mangosteens, rambutan, and lychee. Do you have those fruits available?
Janet
Hi Janet. We do not carry or have access to any of the fruits that you mentioned. We do bring in Avocados, Loquats, Dragonfruit, Strawberry and Tropical Guavas, and occasionally some bananas and mangos. We will have a subtropical fruit tree seminar, here at the gardens, on April 13 at 11am, with a guest speaker from Laverne Nursery. (Lavernenursery.com). Please call us directly with additional questions. We cannot go into more specifics on the website. We are happy to answer your questions by phone. 209-384-0513
Hi! I was wondering if you have okra plants or seeds?
Thanks for asking. We have okra seed available now!
I have been searching for Thai Basil. Do you ever have it? If so, when? Could it be a special order? Thanks , Karen
Hi Karen, Thanks for asking. We have Thais basil in stock. It is one of our customer’s favorite herbs!
Hi,
I’m looking for some hanging baskets with Petunia super bells. Do you have some?
-Yer
Thanks for asking! Super bells is a trademark name for millions bells petunias produced by Proven winners. We have a variety of petunia hanging baskets, some include million bells.
Hi,
Do you carry myoporum parvifolium?
It’s a low growing, fast growing groundcover. I saw it at the entrance to the UC Merced and want it for an area at the front of my house.
Thank you!
Thanks for asking Lance. We have some in stock right now. It is the white variety in one gallon container size. It is also comes in pink. Both colors are available in “six packs” from one of our local California wholesale growers. We would be happy to order it for you if the variety to desire is not in stock. We are open daily form 9-6 and any of our knowledgeable nursery staff will be able to help you. Hope to see you soon!
