Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Hass Avocado is the world's leading commercial variety, defining the modern avocado with its rich, nutty flavor, creamy high-oil content, and distinctive pebbly skin that turns dark purple-black when ripe. A reliable A-type flowering tree that is the cornerstone of any California home avocado grove.

  • Produces medium-sized, oval fruit with a thick, distinctive pebbly skin that turns from green to dark purple or black when ripe.

  • Flesh is pale green near the skin, becoming creamier toward the seed, exceptionally rich, creamy, and high in oil, with a renowned nutty, complex flavor.

  • The #1 commercial avocado worldwide due to its excellent shelf life, consistent quality, and superb flavor.

  • An A-type flowering, self-fruitful evergreen tree that can grow very large but is easily managed with pruning.

  • Fruit has a long harvest season, typically from spring through fall, with staggered ripening.

  • Incredibly versatile in the kitchen, perfect for guacamole, salads, toast, and countless other dishes.

Flavor Profile:

  • Flavor: Deep, rich, nutty, and intensely creamy—the standard by which other avocados are often judged.

  • Texture: Ultra-creamy, dense, and smooth with the highest oil content among common varieties.

  • Best Uses: The ultimate all-purpose avocado. Ideal for guacamole, slicing, spreading, baking, and any application where its luxurious texture and flavor are desired.

Knowing how we measure the size?

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

  • A larger gallon size generally means:

    • A more established root system

    • A sturdier plant

    • Faster visual impact after planting

  • Example:

    • 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity

    • 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.


🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

  • Commonly used for:

    • Ornamental trees

    • Feature plants

    • Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.

  • Why choose Multi:

    • Fuller, more sculptural appearance

    • Strong visual presence even at younger ages

    • Popular for design-focused landscapes


🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

  • Commonly used for:

    • Shade trees

    • Street trees

    • Orchard and structural plantings

  • Why choose Stand:

    • Clean, classic tree form

    • Easier clearance for walkways and lawns

    • Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity


🌿 Choosing the Right Size

  • If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form

  • If you want long-term structure → Stand form

  • If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.
