Just Fruits and Exotics
What's New!

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since we've posted anything "new", but stuff has still been happening here at Just Fruits. We had a great spring and the gardens looked great, even after those brutally cold weeks in January. I know you northern folks had it much worse, but two weeks of 16-20 degree nights isn't what you expect for Florida! The up side was that everything that survived came roaring back for spring. We had the best showing of azalea blooms in 5 years and the blueberry crop was unbelievable.

This summer, Brandy and Ted finally got to take a vacation after 2 years. They went to Belize for two weeks of climbing the ruins and jungles. They said they had a relaxing (?) time and they sure came back full of vim and vigor.

Here at the nursery our field crew, Vicky and Mindy, have done a great job of refreshing the retail area with new pine bark and keeping all those pesky weeds at bay. The growing fields are full of our new crop of trees and ornamentals thanks to these ladies hard work. Beautiful new fig, mulberry, pomegranate, persimmon, pecan, (okay, I'm going to stop 'cause there is way more) trees stretch as far as the eye can see.

We also had some construction going on during the summer. John Gilbert, Ted's brother, rebuilt our long wooden tree stand and it is a thing of beauty. Most folks don't realize it's been done as we kept the same design but we (and the trees) sure love it.

We're looking forward to a great Fall and we hope you'll come on out and see us. There's always something new to see at the Nursery and we'd love to share it with you.
