Money well spent

I hired Matthew to give me some advice on my growing food forest and got more than I paid for. He’s very knowledgeable and helpful. It was money well spent. Thanks, Matthew Rowlings. We’ll have to do this again next year.

Matthew’s consultation was very helpful!

Matthew’s consultation was very helpful.  The new growth on my young sugarloaf mango tree suddenly starting dying.  I did a soil test and he helped me analyze the results and provide a treatment plan to get the tree back on track.   I am already starting to see the tree recover!   So thankful to Matthew for his advice and I will definitely use him for any growing issues that arise in the future!

I highly recommend Matthew’s services!

We had a video conversation regarding my new “Kathy” mango that he was very instrumental in assisting with the initial pruning. Matthew also provided a wealth of information about fertilizing programs for my various trees and grafting an unproductive tree into a new productive variety. I highly recommend Matthew’s services! He’s very relatable, sincere and listens to the client’s needs.

A True Horticulturist!!

I recently had a Foundation Consultation with Mathew primarily for problems I am having with my Brogden Avocado. Not only did he give me a workable plan of action, but made me think differently about my current pest management practices. He is a very knowledgeable guy and really a lot of fun to chat with .. and a true horticulturist!! Thanks Mathew!!

Good value for the money and time spent.

Matthew came well-prepared to our consultation (having reviewed my prior notes) with solid advice about what to try. He had useful recommendations about tree varieties and their pollination and growth habits, spacing, water filtration, and weed management. He followed up with links for recommended water filtration and foliar fertilizer. I utilized his partner’s (Hani Nunez @ Montura Gardens) nursery and had an equally good experience–she responded in timely ways to my texts and sent me the four healthy plants I ordered at reasonable prices.

️️️️️Fantastic, hands on experience!

Mathew Is an Edible Landscaping Rock Star!! His knowledge and experience gave me a better understanding what trees will thrive in specific areas as well as soil testing and disease prevention. Mathew was super thorough on what I wanted to accomplish. Having a professional like Tropical Tree Guide gives me an abundance of fruit but also keeping a charming manicured backyard.  Pruning is so important, it was done incorrectly two years ago and my trees are just now recovering. Tropical Tree Guide offers edible landscaping services and maintenance custom to your needs. Excellent customer service and support. HIGHLY Recommend!!

Thank you for all of the great information and assistance that you provided in my fruit tree endeavor!

Our one hour consultation turned into over 1.5 hours of questions and answers and for that I thank you for the added time that you offered to me. If you are new to growing fruit trees and want to learn more without making many mistakes, Matthew is a great resource for your journey to success and the money that you will spend will be well worth it. He has also been a great to ask questions to over the past few months quickly replying back to me! Thank you again Matthew for your expertise and willing to share it to allow me to be successful raising tropical trees in Florida!

Schedule your consultation now!

We will be planting various mangos and avocados (along with other edible fruit trees) and Matthew gave me guidance on absolutely everything!  I had so many questions and we covered it all! I’ve gone through his site multiple times and will follow his regimen in order to have the best chances of healthy and fruitful trees down the road.  He also gave me guidance on the other trees we will be planting soon. I only did a 30 minute consult, and it was the quickest 30 minutes-so much was covered!  I’m sure I will be doing another one in the near future! Thank you Matthew!

Matt has been an invaluable resource for the past two years.

Expanding my mango orchard was exciting, but I wanted expert guidance. Matt has been an invaluable resource for the past two years. We chat regularly, both formally about strategies and informally about any challenges I face. His expertise in fertilization and soil amendments, especially the Azomite and Mycorrhizae tip, has made a huge difference! My trees are thriving and healthy, and with good weather I’m optimistic about an outstanding crop this season. Thanks, Matt!

Would recommend it to anyone looking to plant their own food forest.

If you have reviewed all the information available online and still have questions, I recommend setting up a consultation with Matthew for expert advice. Scheduling a consultation was easy, and discussing mangoes for an hour was even easier. My family has spent the last three mango seasons learning which varieties we like best. My goal was to plant several of these favorite varieties to enjoy with family and friends. After my consultation, I felt confident that the selected trees would meet my requirements for tree size, taste, production, disease resistance, and maximizing the mango season. Great experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to plant their own food forest.
