I know we have touched on this before in several threads, including the Gardening one, but I found 2 other sources of fruit trees today so I thought it might be useful to have a dedicated thread. Not everywhere has all varieties, all the time, you have to be prepared to visit several places, several times, to get what you're after.
The Experimental Centre at Pozo Negro (same site as FEAGA) . Current opening not known. (Good quality, tough plants, hardened to FV conditions, sometimes limited selection, very affordable.)
Happy Plants at Tefia. Weds - Sun, 9am - 5pm. (Good quality tough plants, hardened to FV conditions, affordable.)
Vivero 'El Charco'. C/Reyes Catolicos 28, Puerto del Rosario. 9am - 1.30pm and 5pm - 7pm. Not sure of days. Painted sign on white wall, doesn't look like a shop, more like a private garage entrance. (Selection of trees and plants inc young veg and herb plants)
Agrayco Garden, C/El Cosco 33, Puerto del Rosario. (Next to a business called Spine) Difficult to find, look for the stair entrance to a double wide household decor shop - the plants are on the stairs and just inside the door! (Quality Fruit trees, cactus and succulents, has stall at Tetir Craft market) M-F 9am-2pm and 4pm-7pm. Closed weekends.
Agricolas Virgen de la Pena, C/Secundino Alonso 71, Puerto del Rosario. Hours not known but def mornings. (Very good quality fruit trees, also the place to get garden chemicals and other essentials. A no-nonsense Majorero shop.)
Fuerteventura Garden Centre (Oasis) Junction of Puerto del Rosario ring road and FV10. Open all day every day. Found the limited selection of fruit trees a bit tired, perhaps the end of a batch. There is the parent garden centre at the Zoo of course. Current opening unknown there.
Baba's in Corralejo, opposite the Football Stadium. Previously I have bought some fairly decent stuff here but my last visit was disappointing. Perhaps they were due to restock. Seem to be open all day, most days.
If anyone can contribute up to date opening info I'll be pleased to amend the info above so it can be viewed in one place. Also very happy to add other outlets that stock fruit trees.
Any comments, questions, ideas etc related to growing fruit on Fuerteventura can be discussed below. Happy Growing!
