Water and Fertilization

• With the help of the Mississippi and Sabine
  Rivers, we are able to pump water at a high
  volume and with no salinity issues.
• We use a fungicide that not only keeps the
  irrigation system clean, but also applies to the
  foliage which is able to keep our tree clean.
• That same fungicide also runs off into the soil
  and into the roots which makes for a cleaner and
  healthier tree.
• We are able to correct the Ph in the water as
  well. This enables 100 of our fertilizer to be
  able to enter the plants tissue.
• Our system injects a liquid fertilizer along with
  our high dosage of time release fertilizer.
• Being able to apply these three steps gives an
  end result of being able to grow the highest
  quality citrus tree that is superior to anything
  grown in the industry.

Rules and Regulations

• We are constantly working with both state and
  federal officials to ensure our trees are always
  in full compliance.
• In the state of Texas, we are now using a
  systemic drench as a preventative step from
  disease to ensure the long lasting health of our
  trees to our customers.
• This step is a requirement in our Belle Chasse
  location.
• Both nurseries are also sprayed weekly for
  insects and Fungi.
• Both states recognize our company for our high
  quality and co-operation in assisting their
  efforts.

Inventory

• We use a larger container which allows for a
  bigger, stronger, and healthier premium tree.
• In both locations we have more than enough
  inventory to satisfy your needs.
• With over 25 varieties, from the smallest kumquat
  to the biggest grapefruit, our quality will speak
  for itself.
• Through both locations we have available 1
  million trees. Citrus is a two year crop and so
  we have 500,000 trees available for this Fall and
  coming spring.
• Minimum trees per store is 150, and you are
  certainly more than welcome to take more.
• In this economy we realize that all minimums can
  not be met, however, we are willing to work with
  anyone who is willing to work with us.
• We typically start in early fall as citrus begins
  to ripen on the tree, and lasts until the summer
  heat sets in.
• We welcome anyone to go to our website and
  Facebook to view additional pictures.
• Any additional questions, call Ricky
  504-432-3007.
