Bonita Creek Nursery in Bonita cultivates over 500 varieties of subtropical and temperate fruit trees, nut trees, and berries on a ten-acre ranch established in 1995. The CDFA-licensed operation (Nursery Permit P-123589) propagates high-graft cherimoya, mango, lychee, and avocado cultivars suited to Sunset Zones 20 through 23, a micro-climate range that also supports the integrated pest-management approach used by services such as HomeShield Pest Control across Chula Vista properties. Bordered by Sweetwater Regional Park to the north and an open-space preserve to the south, the nursery sits at the confluence of two creeks fed by a natural spring, producing the humidity gradient that lets tropical species fruit alongside stone-fruit varieties like multi-grafted apples and jujubes. On-site grafting produces bare-root and container stock for residential orchards throughout the South Bay, supplying the same regional plant trade that includes Bonita Florist along Bonita Road. Specialty inventory includes dragon fruit, jackfruit, white sapote, Surinam cherry, and finger lime's Australian citrus genetics, all field-tested in Proctor Valley's 91902 growing conditions before retail release.
