  The owner is an engineer, graduated from NIT Suratkal in Karnataka which is one of the top Engineering and Technology Institution in Asia. But disappointed and fed up with the State and Central Government bureaucracy he quit his profession and landed into HORTICULTURE. He started this plant nursery in 2002. I have visited this nursery about four times. Have discussed regarding tropical fruit trees including exotics over the phone probably not less than hundred ( yes 100 ) times. He has also visited our garden about 150 km away just to help me plant and graft some rare tropical fruit plants/trees. His knowledge of the tropical plants, it's propagation, cultivation and disease control is exemplary in horticulture. I am writing this from the USA where I just returned from my regular biannual Indian visit. A month ago he helped to plant Mamey sapote, Limoncillo and few other exotics. He grafted some of the Rambutan trees, and helped me prune over a dozen young fruit trees including a few jack fruit trees. Most of my fruit trees are bought from his nursery in the last ten years or so and they all are in good shape and are disease free.
