THE BEST CITRUS TREES AVAILABLE
Four Generations of Florida Citrus Nurseries
Blue Heron Nurseries provides Florida grove owners and managers with the best citrus trees available today. And we back up our claim with an unprecedented guarantee of satisfaction and service.
Growing Excellence
Blue Heron is a state of the art facility in Central Florida, featuring climate controlled nurseries well away from commercial citrus groves for protection from unwanted vectors. The highest possible standards are maintained, from harvesting the seed fruit to hot water and fungicide treatment, to drying and storage procedures. Daily irrigation, chemigation and fertigation are computer controlled to ensure ultimate quality. Every tree is then hand inspected before shipping to make certain it meets our rigid standards.
Our HISTORY
A Legacy of Citrus
Our family arrived in Florida in the early 1900s, embodying hard work and integrity. They played an integral role in the citrus industry, gaining respect and becoming valued members of the community.
With roots as nursery and grove owners in eastern Orange and Seminole counties by the 1940s, our family’s connection to the University of Florida led us to join the family business. Patsy Fabry started Patsy’s Nursery in her 30s, initially as a hobby, but it soon blossomed into a profitable venture. The nursery supplied over 100,000 trees annually, laying the foundation for Blue Heron’s current seed trees. Adhering to agricultural regulations, we carefully nurtured the root stock. From a young age, we all worked in the nursery and groves, carrying on the tradition.
Passionate about the citrus industry, we are dedicated grove owners who manage our groves tirelessly. We understand the needs and desires of growers, and we offer the highest quality trees at fair prices in Florida.
