We sell grafted fruit trees in various sizes, ranging from young 3-gallon plants all the way up to 25-gallon and larger, mature trees.
As a general rule of thumb, here’s what you can expect from each size:
3 gallon: Will take an average of 2-3 years before harvesting your first crop. Trees are small and may be just a single stem, or just starting to develop their first branches. Typical height is between 2-4 feet.
7 gallon: Will take an average of 1–2 years to produce a crop. Branching structure has started to develop, and trunks are between ½ to 1 inch thick. Typical height is between 3-6 feet.
15 gallon: You can usually expect fruit within a year of planting, and some trees are already fruiting at this size. Branch and canopy structure has taken shape and the tree is starting to grow wider. Trunks are between 1 to 1-½ inches thick. Typical height is 5-8 feet.
25 gallon and larger: These are mature trees, and most are ready to produce fruit or have already produced. They have been pruned and shaped multiple times at this point. Trunks are about 2” thick or larger. Typical height is 6-10 ft.
PLEASE NOTE: These descriptions are generalized - Some species of fruit trees are very quick to produce, and others take longer. For example, mulberry trees can start fruiting at a very young age, even as small as a 3 gallon. Mango, avocado, or sapodilla trees will take longer. Each species grows at a different rate and will take varying lengths of time to establish, and even different cultivars can be more precocious (quick to produce) than others.

____________________________________________________________
Latin name - Passiflora quadrangularis
Growing from a vigorous, leafy tropical vine, Passionfruit is a delicious tropical treat with an enticing aroma, and very sweet flesh with varying degrees of tartness. It is said to taste like a combination of citrus, melon, pineapple, and kiwi. The vine is native to South America and North Africa, and is commonly grown in tropical regions around the world. We consider Passionfruit one of our favorite fruits, and the essence of tropical flavor.
You can grow Passionfruit quite easily by planting in an area with full, unobstructed sunlight, and allowing the fast-growing vine to cover a trellis, fence, or other structure. The striking white and purple flowers are usually pollinated by bees, but hand pollination can sometimes improve fruit set and overall size/weight of the fruit. Passionfruit vines usually fruit within a year of planting, and while the vines usually don’t live longer than 4 years, they can produce many hundreds of delicious fruit per season.
The edible Passionfruit vine doesn’t have any notable pests, but it is a host plant for several types of butterflies, the most common of which is the orange Gulf Fritillary. If you see small orange caterpillars with black spikes eating the leaves of your Passionfruit vine, don’t worry! As long as the vine is well-fertilized, it’ll outgrow the effects of the caterpillars very quickly, and you’ll be rewarded by native butterflies providing their pollination services.
When planting Passionfruit vines, make sure you have a sufficient trellis or structure for them to grow on. A sturdy chain-link fence is ideal. The vines can get very heavy when fully grown, and require pruning if you want them to stay manageable.
