Mesquite Valley Growers

Originally a wholesale grower, Mesquite Valley Growers expanded into the retail business in 1990. Today, it offers a wide variety of native and non-native species at a beautiful facility that covers 20 acres on East Speedway Boulevard. Make that way-far-east Speedway, just east of Pantano Road. If you don't live on the eastside and are concerned about getting that tree all the way to your house, don't worry: A delivery service is available. Thomas Birt and Cathy Bishop lead a team of dedicated employees who help customers with their purchases and create a delightful environment in which to shop.
