Exotica Rare Fruit Nursery
At the intersection of the building industry collapse and the push for healthier foods and California-climate-friendly landscaping, a nursery owner near Vista wonders what hit him.
Steven Spangler raises some 1,200 varieties of plants at his 5-acre Exotica Rare Fruit Nursery. Where else can you find Ecuadorean black walnuts and Makepeace apples on the same lot?
On his botanic garden-like plot, Spangler also raises:
-- Seven varieties of cherries;
-- 16 varieties of guavas;
-- 17 varieties of palm;
-- 100 varieties of pomegranates;
-- 12 varieties of bananas.
In all, an estimated 60,000 potted plants grow here, awaiting new homes that came quickly during the building boom.
