Ben King in the nursery

Ben started when nobody thought mangoes could grow here.

In 1977, growing tropical fruit in New Zealand was considered impossible by most. Ben ignored that and got on with it. What started as an experiment became a lifetime of knowledge that no book can teach.

Every tree we sell carries that knowledge with it.
