Product Overview Our production efforts are focused on three distinct groups of plant materials.

- A larger scale product with culinary applications, our Patio Trees, offer a variety of Fruit bearing selections
- Our Flowering Gift Plants tap into our desire for more novelty with an eye on mass appeal.
Food As Art Our
line of Miniature Trees are planted in ceramic bonsai containers.
Measuring 4"x6"x2 1/2", the cachepots are available in a variety of
colors. These Fruit Trees offer the customer a different feature
throughout the year. With the onset of spring, flower blossoms and
fragrance will grace the delicate branches. Summer will bear witness to
the harvest of small fruit. Autumn will deliver the artists palette of
colors to changing foliage. Winters gray is reflected in the stark
silhouette. We are reminded of our agrarian history through the passing
of the seasons. All
of these fruited selections feature fruit that is also reduced in size
so that a true- to- scale presentation is created. The trees are
newly re- discovered selections of their more familiar cousins that
feature miniature fruit: These include: Almond, Apricot, Cherry,
Crabapple, Pear, Orange, Lemon, Lime, Blueberry, Pomegranate, and
Winegrapes. When in fruit, these trees are an exact miniature
representation of their larger counterparts. Each of the varieties
selected are distinctive in their own right. The year begins with
Almonds blooming in the dead of winter enabling us to imagine the
beginning of spring. It ends with Christmas Seasons Citrus, Winegrapes
