I purchased a small one gal Miracle Fruit plant 3 years ago from you. That plant is now in a 15 gal pot and full of berries. The tips and info on your website are really great. Have a Happy New Year.?

Late last year I had Pepe stop by my property to give me some advice about planting some specific fruit trees. His consultation was well worth it. I now have five beautiful Avacado trees already flowering and hope to have fruit soon! Thank you Pepe. We will be back in touch soon.

I purchased several trees from Pepe and was amazed at how much time he spent educating my husband and I about those and others in his nursery.

Also impressive was the special treatment I received in his secretive delivery of a Mamey tree to surprise my husband on his birthday. To assure the surprise, he called a few blocks from the house to be sure the coast was clear!

Pepe is remarkable for his knowledge and personable service and quality plants. For these reasons I will only purchase trees from him.

I was looking for berry bushes for my yard in Orlando, FL and heard of Pepe's Plants at the Yellow Green Farmer's Market in south FL. I ended up not getting the berry trees I was looking for, but I am very excited to get Ruby Guava tree and Loquot tree. I needed another tree like a hole in the head, but they were that pretty! I also got some free seeds and a prickly pear cactus cutting!

Pepe is AWESOME!!!!! He is so helpful with my many many many and more many questions I had about planting my trees and caring for them. All the trees were at a great price. I purchased about 10 different types of trees are they are all a little over a year old and produce ALOT of fruit. SO much I some times feel a little overwhelmed but am LOVING it. The other products he sells are also very helpful. I am very grateful for Pepe and will only recommend him to anyone buying a fruit tree!!! I will only buy future trees from him.

He provides awesome service and has an amazing variety.

This guy is extremely helpful, caring and really knows his stuff! I cannot say enough good things about Jason and his company. If you buy from him you can expect the very best. If you have any problems he is always willing to help or answer any questions you may have. He writes back within the same day too. You really cannot go wrong buying from them. Very personable and his mission is to please the customer. I just want to give a big thanks! Looking forward to buying from him again someday.

I came from Detroit to Naples hoping to find the soursop fruit and had minimal information regarding how and where it might be available so I drove to and contacted Pepe in Hollywood at his Farmer's Market booth (#19) for help. I got way more than I expected. He is extemely knowledgeable about every aspect of growing the trees, the fruit, where to find it, and went far out of his way to help me in my search. I did find as much as I could carry back with me and want to highly recommend him to anyone seeking an honest, friendly, respectful and professional expert in this field. You won't go wrong and it's well worth the trouble to go there and meet this great guy. Randy M. Snyder

When I first shopped at Pepe's I must admit I had minimal knowledge/interest in the art/science of plants. My first visit to Pepe's was in search for a miracle fruit tree. I had seen the tree on a tv show years before and was in search for one since. Pepe was very informative and highly knowledgeable with the species. He was also very honest and upfront about how difficult it would be to care for this tree. I bit the bullet and got myself two trees. 6 months later and a few follow up trouble shooting calls to Pepe's have yielded healthy plants. I have also bought a number of other fruit trees from him with similar success. I would highly recommend buying from Pepe's. You may get some plants at the big box stores for same/cheaper and some you wont find anywhere else but here. i can attest most of those cheaper plants are not as healthy as the ones you'll get here and you'll certainly not get the quality customer service. As a side note i would highly recommend the worm casting they sell. Really makes s difference when you make compost tea with it.

Pepe has a very nice selection of hard to find fruit trees and plenty of professional advice on how to care for your trees. He has a lot of fruit tree you'll never find at you typical garden center. I had an ailing Malika Mango tree in my yard which I was considering getting rid off. After advice and some organic food/fertilizer (organik-thrive) from Pepe the tree recovered very nicely and is full of Mangoes this year. So much that I had to brace the branches so they don't brake from the weight of the fruit. Also saved my Yamagata Avocado (Hawaiian variety) that was doing sub-par and is looking beautiful now. Pepe knows gardening. If your are looking to improve the yield and health of your existing plantings or are looking for new trees to plant Pepe can help you out.

5 Stars are not enough for Pepe. I give him at least 6!!! On a more serious note: To anyone looking for a very knowledgeable, honest, guy whether it is for fruit trees, fertilizer, or whatever your botanical needs I can not recommend anyone else more highly. He will talk to you in depth about any of your questions and really cares about the service he provides. In South Florida people like Pepe are very few and far between. Thanks Pepe for all your advice, knowledge, and great trees you have brought to my door!!!! It has been a pleasure getting to know you so far.

We've bought a few trees from Pepe's now due in part to his wide variety of tropical plants and the helpful information he posts on his site/shares in person. On many varieties he carries, his plants are larger and much more eye appealing than those you might find at Home Depot or Lowes. For example his Acerola Cherry trees are far more developed and already fruiting, while the ones at local retailers are spindly stalks. Jason is very friendly and always available to answer questions or give advice. If you live in South Florida we highly recommend giving Pepe's a try. Ask for a Miracle Fruit demonstration and I guarantee you'll leave with a few trees afterwards ;)

The organik thrive is great! My husband and I have all sorts of vegetable plants growing in our back yard and they are reacting wonderfully to this organic compost tea. Our plants look stronger and have greener foliage than before this compost tea was introduced, and they are giving abundantly. Thank you for this gem! Natalia

His fertilizer "worm tea" thing is amazing!!! I have the BLACKest THUMBS yet his fertilizer has managed to bring my jasmine and gardenia bushes back from the dead. The 3 saggy leaves left on the bush sprouted up strong over-night. And now its sprouting new leaves like crazy!!!! It's been a week and I've just added more organic fertilizer and my bushes are beginning to look like bushes. Thanx man!

I LOVE Pepe's trees! They have the best prices and the plants and trees are the best in town. The fruit trees I got from them are gorgeous and robust. Pepe's Fruit Trees is where I am getting all my trees, herbs and veggies from now on. Its not just the plants though, its the way they do business - its truly a pleasure. Buy with confidence!

I ran into Pepe's Fruit Stand at the Farmers Market on Taft Street and I just so happen to inquiry about his plant food. He took time to explain to me all that when into his plant mixture (most of it went over my head) but I brought 1 gallon of it for my garden anyways. That night I mixed the organic thrive 1/1 with water and gave it to my plants. The next morning my 3 banana trees grew a new leaf each, my figs spawned 2 fruits and almost all of my plants had that "preaky leaf" look. I would recommend this product to anyone... ;)

I was in the market for a coconut cream mango tree so I looked up some places to get one and saw that pepes plants was going to be at the yellow green fm. I have not been there before so I decided that I should see what he had available.

It was my lucky day. Jason gave me a great price on a beautifull looking tree and gave me some advice on how and where to plant my new mango tree. He even held it for me while I walked around the market so that I could pick it up on the way back to the car.

New time vegetable grower - Jason walked us through what to put where - what to give each plant. He is great.

He sold us the liquid fertilizer and it has like magic for growth of the plants - well worth the price.

Happy Family here

Each of the trees I have bought from Jason at Pepe's Plants has been of the highest quality. A kafir lime, a Cogshall Mango ( I wanted a Julie, but the Cogshall Jason persuaded me to buy is perfect) which is growing very nicely, and several others.

His advice has been spot on. I changed my mind about several trees I had in mind and paid attention to Jason's recommendations. I'm glad I did.

As a newbie to growing our own fruits and veggies, we had no clue on where to start or how to proceed once we bought any trees. He took his time to explain the REASONS why things are best done a certain way and extended an open invitation to ask him for any help. Whenever we go to the Yellow Green Farmer's Market, we are sure to stop by and ask for advice. He is always ready to be of assistance. We, and our plants, are doing very well now and the organic fertilizer ( Maxicorp Liquid Seaweed ) did wonders for our plants who are now thriving under the care of two people who have no green thumb whatsoever.

Pepe is the tree-man to see. I got fruit trees for a great price. He was was extremely knowledgeable and assisted me immediately. I ended up going home with all the knowledge needed to hopefully grow the best looking trees in Broward. I will be returing to buy more trees for my yard.

I have been a customer of Pepe's nursurey for about two years now . Extremely healthy plants ! Best results Ive seen out of all my fruit trees that i bought anywhere else,and i have like 20 (just fruit trees) I've bought almost 10 fruit trees and flowering buhses from him already and they are all giving fruit and blooming very nice. The best thing I think about Pepes fruit tree nursurey is that they deliver this all to you at your doorstep ! All the best plants I've ever seen now all bushy and giving great results :) . Great prices also , usually nursureys are very pricy with all there plants .I recommed Pepe's Nursurey to anyone who is looking for healthy good producing plants.

We had a new lychee tree in our yard that mysteriously died. After that we were afraid to try again. We met Pepe and he taught us about how to nurture our new trees. We have learned so much from him and every time we meet, learn more and more!

You are AWESOME Pepe!!!

Jason (Pepe) was extremely helpful when I visited him at the Hollywood Farmer's Market (Yellow Green). I purchased a healthy Magic Fruit tree from him and it immediately produced fruit when I transplanted it into a new pot. In the past year I'm on my third round of fruit and it's been thriving. In my last visit to the Farmer's Market I had some follow-up watering questions and he was more than willing to provide some of his green thumb expertise.

Thank you Jason for all your help! I highly recommend Jason (Pepe) to all my friends/family. -John

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.

I met Jason at that yellow and green market about six or eight months ago. Since then I have bought a fig tree, 15 Barbados cherries, 2 super dwarf bananas, a starfruit plant some vegetable plants and herbs. The great thing about his plants is when you bring them home they don't get sick and die. My plants I bought from him look amazing once in a while if I'm having a problem I call him and he will tell me exactly what to do. If I need a special fertilizer or an organic insect repellent and he doesn't have it he will tell me where I can get it or he will get it for me.

I have been by Pepe's Plants at the Yellow Green Farmers market a few times. I have purchased several plants from him. My first was a jasmine plant which is doing so well in my yard. We have been looking for an avocado tree for awhile, and was very impressed with his selection (and price) at the market. The trees are grafted so they will produce fruit sooner, and the tree we purchased actually already had small avocados on it, which would be taken off to promote growth. Our avocado tree is planted now in our backyard. On his website you can see how to plant the trees, and he can tell you also how to care for the tree. Pepe is very knowledgeable, he will answer any question you have. I will definitely be by Pepe's Plants again soon. You can tell his plants and trees are very well taken care of, and he can tell you about all of them! Stop by sometime, you won't regret it! :)

I found Jason when searching for a Dragon Fruit plant. I searched online and found his site and within a few days he delivered my plant to my door. Since that time I have purchased many plants and fruit trees from Pepe's Plants (I usually visit him weekly at the Yellow Green Market in Hollywood) . His plants are healthy and beautiful and grown well. He is knowledgeable about the plants he sells and is always ready and willing to offer help and advice as to south Florida gardening.. There are many growers here in south Florida but Jason's plants and trees are just a cut above the rest. Always healthy and thriving plants that are conditioned to grow well. Stop by the Yellow Green Market and say hello to him. You'll be well satisfied with your plants. Once you start getting your plants from Jason he will become your favorite "plant guy" too. I have never had a problem with any of the plants purchased from Jason but I know that if I did have a problem he would take cre of it. Donna Merritt Dania, Fl

I purchased 2 mango trees and an orange tree from Pepe's. The quality of these trees are the best you'll find. Aside from that, the service you'll get is outstanding. I refer to Pepe as the "tree doctor". When I bought the mango's trees, Pepe actually delivered them to my house. I'm sure this is not something he does on a regular basis I just happened to be in range of his travels. but when Pepe came to my house he examined the avocado and orange trees and advised me what I should do to care for them. When I have questions about my fruit trees, Pepe always makes time out of his busy schedule to discuss and resolve any concerns I may have. I will continue to purchase from Pepe however I'm running out of room in my backyard. since my neighbor first let me try mango's for the first time, (I'm a former Northerner) I convinced my neighbor to plant fruit trees, I gave him one of the mango trees I purchased from Pepe. He's hooked and can't wait to add additional trees.

I recently bought 5 fruit trees from Pepe's and every one of them is super healthy and thriving in my yard. Jason has been such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. I have never met anyone more dedicated to his customers, sharing generously his time and wealth of knowledge and offering top notch service! I just wish I had space for more trees :)

I called Pepe's Plants yesterday and asked if they had any 15 gallon lychee trees. He said yes, and that he would be happy to deliver it to me with no obligation to buy. The tree was absoultely beautiful, healthy and, in great condition. I purchased it on the spot without hesitation. Great service and a fair price. i would be happy to recommend him to any of my friends. Jonathan

I met Pepe (Pepe's Market) at the Green Market in Hollywood about 6 months ago. I visit him every week for suggestions & advice. He is very knowledgeable in every aspect of growing trees, vegetable and herbs. I bought an EarthBox from him and are very pleased with the Free tomatoes plants he gave us - they are 6' tall with hardly any care except watering. When my EarthBox sprung a leak, Pepe warrantied it and replace it through the company. I will tell you, I will not buy another fruit tree or plants from anywhere else. He is so supportive and helps us with information every week. I also highly recommended the EarthBox. Thank you Pepe, I will send pictures of my garden soon! Waiting for that blackberry bush.

We met Pepe and Yellow Green Market. We bought some heirloom tomato plants from Pepe. When we reported to Pepe a few weeks ago, about the delicious fruit we were getting from these plants, Pepe recommended taking seeds from these and drying them on paper towel. We have now sprouted about 30 more using seeds from these delicious heirloom tomatoes ! We're new to home vegatable gardening. Pepe has been a great resource for information.

I have purchased herbs, and some tomato plants from their booth. I'm limited to a patio garden and they have helped me create the best patio garden that beats out my friends' regular gardens. First, let me start on the tomatoes. I bought the patio tomato plants and they have been producing tomatoes for weeks now and there are still so many on there waiting to turn red. My herbs are doing great and still growing strong. Not only are the plants great but he will help you with any problems and give some great advice. I contacted him about getting more plants and I'm just waiting for them to be ready!!! I definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Jason, Thank you for the Avacado tree you delivered two weeks ago. It is a beautiful tree and in perfect health. We planted the tree on delivery and it has started to grow already. Many thanks for a very healthy tree at a great price.

Happy to have met Pepe today. We got a Vista White Loquat (hard to find in Central Florida and well worth the drive down to Ft. Lauderdale) and a Miracle Fruit shrub. Both plants were bearing and / or budding fruit. Better than the beautiful plants, though, is the sound advice Pepe offers; he has years of experience and a friendly attitude. Next time we're in his area on FRI, SAT, or SUN, we'll plan a stop there.

I bumped into Pepe's Fruit Trees last Saturday at the Urban Trust Farmer's Market on Riverfront. I was in awe to see how wonderful his trees were. They were ALL well taken care of and they were all marked at very reasonable prices, especially since they have already produced fruit last season so are pretty much guaranteed to produce fruit again next season. I was also amazed at the types of rare trees they have, including barbados cherries, mamey sapote, jackfruit, different types of avacados, mangoes, miracle fruit, and so much more!! I plan on buying some of these fantastic trees for my yard and would recommend them to anyone! The customer service of the three workers, Rebecca, Michael, and of course Pepe is also a huge plus!!
