ABOUT US
Southern Citrus Nurseries was founded in the early ’70s by Joe Race and Tom Thayer Sr., and they partnered through the early ’90s. In 2005, citrus greening was discovered in both commercial and residential areas, causing our citrus nursery to be taken out bare-root. In 2007, we started with four greenhouses, and now we’re up to 40 greenhouses, four seed houses, and a scion house. We are blessed to be where we are today.
