How long will it take before I see fruit on my trees?
Almost all the exotic fruit trees we supply are of fruit bearing age, meaning they are already fruiting, or if the season has passed, they will fruit next season. Also most of the trees are either grafted or air-layered as opposed to grown from seed. For example, a mango or avocado tree grown from a seed will take approximately 6-10 years before they will bear fruit, grafted and air-layered trees are engineered from branched of mature trees, so the young plant behaves as a mature plant immediately. Thus, the grafted and air-layered trees we carry can be as small as 3 feet tall and already have tropical fruit such as mangos and avocados on them.
Why do I want a Grafted or Air-layered tree?
Grafting and Air-layering have two primary benefits, the first being that you get fruit ALOT faster like with the previous example with the avocados or mangos it would take 6-10 years for a seedling to fruit versus 1-2 years for a grafted plant to fruit. Grafting and Air-layering also ensure quality & variety, for example just cause you eat a good mango and plant that seed, the fruit from that tree will not necessarlily be same as the parent fruit, it will vary. For example, a child is not 100% like either the mom or dad, he or she is a blend of the two parents. Grafting and Air-layering are in essence clones of the parent tree ensuring variery, if you graft a julie mango or brogdon avocado, the new plant is a 100% copy of the parent tree without any variation. So grafting ensures you get the variety you want and genetically superior trees which will fruit ALOT sooner.

Why Should I send a Plant-O-Gram when I can just send a fruit basket, bottle of wine or some flowers?
Although Plant-O-Grams are similar to fruit baskets and flowers in price and the fact that they show somebody you care, they are also unlike flowers or fruit baskets or practically any other gifts in all other aspects. Plant-O-Grams are unique in that they last longer than a lifetime. Other gifts such as electronics, flowers, jewelry etc. only last temporary and usually decrease in value with age where as an exotic fruit tree from Plant-O-Gram will not only last for generations, it will also increase in value as it grows in size, unlike other gifts. Also unlike any other gift, it will pay you dividends every year in the form of delicious, expensive fruit for generations to come. Plant-O-Grams are also great for the environment; they are eco-friendly and economically sound gifts.
How Can I leave a Legacy?
Sending a tropical/exotic fruit tree from Plant-O-Gram is leaving your mark or legacy on this planet. Most tropical fruit trees will outlive most human lifespans, imagine your grandchildren and great grandchildren picking and eating mangoes off a 50 year old mango tree that you commissioned. You can look forward years from now and tell your heirs that you commissioned this great tree, now that’s leaving a legacy, sort of like a “Johnny Appleseed.” Also, remember that the cost of sending a Plant-O-Gram is trivial when looking at the benefits of your economically and medically sound investment.
Why do we use the word investment rather than cost when reffering to Plant-O-Grams?
Simply put, cost refers to something that will take your money and then depreciate, like a new car costs $20,000, and will probably be worth considerably less as time passes. Investment on the other hand refers to an upfront investment that will appreciate over time, like a 20 foot mango tree will be worth more than a 6 foot mango tree, the tree appreciates with time and size, all the while paying faithfull dividends in the form of $1,000’s worth of healthy, beneficial, eco-friendly fruit.

It will increase it... example, you are purchasing a home you have two choices, two home in the same neighborhood, next to each other, same sqaure footage, identical in every respect, except, one has a mature mango tree in the backyard. Which one would you choose? The one without the mango tree, or the one that has a mature mango tree which will consistently provide you 100's of delicious, healthy mangos a year, valued at $2-3 each? Now that was an easy choice... Also, have you noticed that when looking at real estate listings, Realtors will always mention if a home has mature fruit trees right on the listing, wonder why?

How do I choose the right tree to match the recipient?
There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing the specific type of tree, one of them is origin. For example, if the recipient has a Jamaican background, an Akee tree might be a good choice since they may already be familiar with that tree since they share similiar backgrounds and the tree will remind them of home. Another factor that you may consider is the medicinal uses/benefits of the tree, for example if you know a person has problems associated with aging, a pomegrante tree might be a good choice since the fruit have an extraordinarily high concentration of anti-oxidants. Or, if some if prone to getting many cold/flu's a barbados cherry may be perfect since it has the highest concentration of vitamin C of any fruit. One barbados cherry is equivalent to 100% of your USDA recommended allowance of Vitamin C and the tree also bears fruit almost all year round. All the medical uses of the fruit trees we carry are readily available on our website. Also, if you would like, upon request we can put our tropical fruit tree knowledge to work for you and aid in matching the Plant-O-Gram to the recipient.
