If you’re building a food forest—or thinking about starting one—there’s one plant that can dramatically improve your results from day one: **Old Hammii Bamboo**.

This isn’t just another ornamental. Old Hammii is a **high-performance, multi-purpose plant** designed for growers who want function *and* yield.

🌱 **Protect your food forest naturally**
Planted as a living barrier, Old Hammii creates a dense **windbreak** that shields fruit trees and delicate crops from harsh winds. The result is a more stable microclimate, less stress on your plants, and better overall productivity.

🍽️ **Grow your own food**
Old Hammii produces **edible bamboo shoots**, giving you a unique, sustainable harvest right from your landscape.

🌿 **Create instant privacy**
Its thick, upright growth makes it perfect as a **natural fence or screen**, turning your space into a private, peaceful retreat.

🌳 **Safe, non-invasive growth**
Unlike running bamboo, **Old Hammii is a clumping variety**, meaning it grows in a tight, controlled form. No aggressive spreading. No headaches. Just predictable, manageable growth.

**Quick Specs:**
• Height: 40–60 ft
• Spacing: 5–10 ft (closer for dense screening)
• Zones: 8–11
• Cold Hardy: down to ~20–25°F

Whether you’re designing a full food forest or just want a powerful, beautiful addition to your property, **Old Hammii Bamboo delivers on every level**.

What if you could plant a citrus tree that actually fights back against the biggest threat in citrus today?

Meet Sugar Belle® : the citrus variety that’s changing the game for growers and homeowners alike.

For years, citrus greening disease (HLB) has devastated trees across Florida and beyond: with no known cure and entire groves lost.

But Sugar Belle is different.

Developed by University of Florida researchers, this unique mandarin hybrid has shown remarkable tolerance to citrus greening, meaning it continues to grow, produce, and thrive where other trees struggle.

Here’s why growers are making the switch:

🍊 Built for resilience
Sugar Belle trees have demonstrated strong tolerance to greening, allowing them to stay productive longer than traditional citrus varieties.

🍊 Incredible flavor
A perfect blend of sweet and tangy: combining the richness of a Clementine with the bold character of a Honeybell.

🍊 Heavy production & reliability
Even in challenging conditions, these trees continue to deliver high-quality fruit season after season.

🍊 A smarter investment
Instead of gambling on trees that may decline quickly, Sugar Belle gives you a fighting chance to grow citrus successfully again.

This isn’t just another citrus tree. it’s a solution in a time when growers need it most.

👉 If you’ve been hesitant to plant citrus because of greening… this is your moment.

Dear Tropical Fruit Family,

The recent cold weather has been heartbreaking for many across Florida. We’ve spoken with so many of you who lost trees you’ve cared for and nurtured for years. We know these aren’t just plants — they represent time, patience, memories, and hope for future harvests.

Please know our hearts are with you.

While the freeze affected many growers throughout the state, we’re grateful to share that we do have healthy, unaffected tropical fruit trees available. Through preparation, protection, and a bit of grace, a large portion of our nursery came through the cold strong and stable.

Moments like this remind us that nature has its seasons — some harsh, some abundant — but growth always returns. Even when a tree is lost, the soil still holds possibility. Replanting is an act of faith in warmer days ahead.

If you need guidance replacing a tree, selecting a more cold-tolerant variety, or simply want to talk through next steps, we’re here for you. Our team is ready to help you rebuild and grow again.

Sunshine will return. New roots will take hold. And your garden will flourish again.

With care and gratitude,

Rick & Olga 🌿

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy a persimmon tree, this is it.

Right now, our Tampa Bay community has access to the widest and most meaningful gathering of persimmon tree varieties we’ve ever offered - trees that carry history, resilience, and sweetness across generations.

From the ever-popular Fuyu and Hachiya, to deeply cherished cultivars like Saijo, Tanenashi, and Rosseyanka, this collection brings together Asian and hybrid persimmons that thrive in our climate and nourish both body and spirit.

You’ll also find gems like Ichi Ki Kei Jiro, Matsumoto, Jiro, Hanna, and additional Fuyu selections, each chosen with care, intention, and local success in mind.

What makes this offering truly special is how these trees were grown. Unlike most persimmons available elsewhere, these are not bare-root trees pulled from dormancy.

Each one was lovingly raised in 3-gallon containers and only recently transitioned into 7-gallon pots, allowing their roots to stay active, protected, and strong. The result is a living tree that’s ready to establish quickly, experience less shock, and begin its journey in your yard with vitality and balance.

🌿 This is a limited window. Quantities are finite, and once these trees find homes, this collection will not be repeated this season.

If you feel called to plant fruit, shade, and abundance for your family - and for the generations that follow - now is the time.

👉 Reserve your persimmon trees today or visit us soon to choose in person.

Let’s keep growing food, roots, and community together.
