I don't know about the fruit trees but you can save a ton of money by buying the bouganvilla at about a foot height. I don't think anyone sells them that tall anyways. Plant them give them fertilizer, stay on top of them in a year they will easily be that tall.

Try Cruzian gardens on Midland road.

The best quality, price, advice, information etc on fruit trees is StrictlyNativeInc on stx...Dr Arthur Petersen...He will get as technical on advice and discussion as you want, but knows more about these trees than anyone, and is nursery has the best quality, all sort of sizes, etc...has a website at www.strictlynativeinc.com, with his phone....he used to (I'm not sure if currently) sell from a big truck on Saturday mornings in the parking lot at Kmart west, where I first met him..in response to my ? about avocado varieties, he went in the cab, got his attache, took out some literature, and my education began...from a Cornell phd...he also has a big display at the Ag fair, but his good stuff goes right away..he teaches agriculture to high school kids as well...I just think he's a resource that so few know about...

Stuff grows really fast here. Buy it small and cheap. Our flamboyants are 20 feet tall after 5 years. Mangos can fruit after 2 years.
