Rare Fruit Tree Sale!

The Manatee Rare Fruit Council’s Twenty Third Annual Rare Fruit Tree sale will be

held at the Manatee Civic Center in Palmetto. Sale hours are from 10 am to 4 pm.

More than 3000 plants of all varieties and sizes will be offered at reasonable prices.

formulated Fruitilizer plant food. Nurserymen from all parts of Florida will offer best

varieties of every kind of fruit tree at this once-a-year event. Free admission, free parking, free expert advice and assistance are available.

The Manatee Rare Fruit Council, a chapter of Rare Fruit Council International, is a non-

sub –tropical fruits that thrive in our unique Southwest Florida climate. A portion of the

proceeds from the Tree Sale is dedicated to the Manatee Rare Fruit Council Fruit Tree

Display Area which the Club is currently developing at Palma Sola Botanical Park. The

monthly meeting is held at the Manatee Fairgrounds on the 2nd Monday of each month

at 7 PM. Visitors and guest are welcome and encouraged. Visit the Club's website at
