PINE ISLAND NURSERY, INC.
MIAMI, FLORIDA

Pine Island Nursery, Inc., founded in 1972 by Colleen H. Boggs, is a family-owned and operated farm spanning fifty acres located twenty-five miles southwest of downtown Miami in an upland pine habitat characteristic of its name. Established as one of the largest privately-owned natural forest communities remaining in Miami-Dade County, the nursery has played a pivotal role in reforesting over 2,500 pine trees following their annihilation by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. These efforts have revitalized the forest to bear semblance to its pre-hurricane state. Initially functioning as a wholesale supplier of rare palms, fine indoor foliage, and fruit trees, Pine Island Nursery has shifted exclusively towards offering tropical fruit, nut, and spice trees. The nursery serves commercial fruit growers, landscapers, garden centers, and the general public, with products primarily marketed within Florida while also certified for interstate shipping across all 50 states as well as Canada. It maintains its status as an active exporter to various regions including the Caribbean, Latin America, and other suitable international destinations. The mission of Pine Island Nursery revolves around providing commercially viable and high-quality fruit trees globally. In addition to catering to landscapers and homeowners with unique fruit tree selections compatible for suburban environments, the company is committed to ensuring a safe workplace and delivering a pleasurable client experience through sustainable farming practices. Gratitude is consistently expressed towards their patrons: 'Thank you and happy planting!' Their operations are centralized at one location since inception, located at 16300 SW 184th Street, Miami, Florida 33187. Officially classified as DOMP (Domestic for Profit) with a filing number of 460183 under the State of Florida, Pine Island Nursery was incorporated on August 27, 1974. The company’s operations are led by Colleen Boggs and Erik Tietig among others who play pivotal roles in its day-to-day administration.
