I found Jason (Pepe) off of a search for Julie mango trees on Craigslist South Florida area search (who would have thunk). Browsing through his website, and reading the Local Harvest customer reviews (linked from his site), I felt very comfortable to contact him during the week about some tropical fruit tree plants I was interested in. I meet with Jason that Saturday and was in awe of a 3 gal Neelum mango tree he had for sale. Growing up in the caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago), I have never seen a young mango tree that looked so healthy as his. The semi dark green of it's leaves just "popped" against the beige/light brown tree trunk. From the leaves, young stems, to the trunk...all of the trees he had for sale just looked virile and ready to be planted for successful fruiting. It was obvious that allot of thought was taken into growing his trees this healthy- and each plant was a trophy for his method's success. Jason was very receptive to my numerous questions about mango tree care and the different species. I was sold after the first 3 mins of our 10 mins conversaton. I placed an order on the spot for a 3 Gal Julie and a Mallika mango tree from him and he told me that he would keep in touch about the trees before next saturday. Jason certainly did, and the following Saturday I picked up two gorgeous mango trees. He encourages you to contact him with any questions on plant care. If he dosen't have something in stock, he'll tell you where to buy it. He's certainly a friendly guy who is easy to talk to and I trust his advice. I'm now looking to add a Lancetilla mango tree to the mix and Pepe's will be my source for all my future plant/tree needs.
