There's a fruit tasting table and I remember the first time I came in and tasted some fruit I'd never even heard of before. If you're a foodie or if you enjoy rare or tropical fruit or even if you're a fan of botanical gardens, this place is amazing It's a mom and pop place (actually just a pop place cause I think the owner Steve who started it still runs it by himself). The sign said they have been here since the 80s. Anyway because it's a small nursery and open 7 days a week, it's a good idea to call if you're planning to make a long journey to visit just to make sure they haven't stepped out. It's usually fine but I see people on other reviews have come in from far away without calling and it's just a good idea to call if it's a mom and pop nursery and you have a long drive. My favorite fruit was white sapote, cherimoya, the bazillions of types of guavas they have, ice cream bean was delicious, and I never knew palms have delicious fruit (what????). I come about twice a year from San Diego and as San Diego nurseries go, this place is in a league of its own. I even just like walking around in there to relax cause it's almost like a fruit botanical garden. And some of the small stuff is very affordable Highly recommend if you have a few hours free to explore this place. It's a great nursery -- kinda like the Garden of Eden!

I recently came to this location because I was in the area as I do sometimes. (My normal location…read moreis the Carlsbad store). I love that they have a greeter here at the door to direct you to where you need to go. Most of the time when I'm here I know what I want so it's a quick trip in and out. Being able to immediately ask where the specific item is located is so helpful and time saving. What I dislike is the vendors they sometimes have inside at the front of the store. While I get they are promoting their businesses, I have encountered some that are quite aggressive and do not take a simple "no thank you" for an answer. I have had to uncomfortably walk away while they are still pushing their info on numerous occasions. Often times it's for solar, but the last one was for water filtration. I don't need either. Otherwise, I love wandering through the gardening area. They have some beautiful plants/flowers. The staff is helpful and usually says hi. The store is clean and organized. They almost always have what I need and if it's something I can wait on, they are happy to order. I much prefer this company to the other big box store, as I find them much more willing to help. Overall the staff seem happier in their positions. Next time I will enter through the garden area to avoid the sales pitches.

The quality of the plants and the value that comes with them definitely makes the trip work it to come out and see what they have.

When I asked him to honor the original price, he got very rude raised his voice called me a crybaby lol. EDIT: when he saw the review called me a liar and bunch of other things. I told Him his competitors had the same tree if he'd price match. He called them liars as well and said they were cheating people.
