Ong Nursery

Was in San Diego visiting from northern cal as we wanted to add to our exotic fruit tree collection Looked at Unilocal and found this place. Fantastic place for exotic fruits, owner (quang) very friendly and have lots of advice on how to protect these exotics further up north where we are. Gave me a sample of atmoya to try — delicious! Told me semwitch from cherimoya to this which I will now! Wish I could have purchased some right there but had a flight to catch in the evening. Owner said he can prepare and ship them to us (ship at cost) so I’ll definitely be looking to connect with him and order for shipping.
You got to see this place and don’t get worried as its snuck between homes in a local residential neighborhood not in a commercial area.

I’ve got a black thumb. Quite horrible with plants. This place gives me a huuuuge appreciation for people that have a green thumb. I respect the owners of Ong Nursery beyond belief. They have anywhere from 7 – 10,000 trees. There are ones here this ol Caucasian boy has never even heard of. They offered some of the fruit from one of their trees when I got here. It was delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone and any looking for new plants or fruits. Enjoy!

After I’ve called them I was able to visit their nursery on weekday since I work on weekends. After greeting me they just let me go to look around in their tropical fruit nursery. I felt like a kid in the candy store. They have everything you can imagine as far as tropical fruits. Amazingly designed drip system. Hard to fathom to be able to arrange thousands of trees in such relatively small place. Neat terraces in the back on the hillside. After a while a sweet lady came out and we browse together. She let me try all of the fruit I was interested in. Amazingly delicious.
I was owelwhelmed. Did not know what to choose, love them all. She gave me instruction of the care, planting spot verbal and written. Will be back for my miracle fruit. Awesome experience.

Found this interesting gem of a nursery hidden in the Linda Vista area of San Diego. Called to confirm the hours open, and the old lady who runs it said 5 p.m. What an interesting place… they’ve converted their front and back yard into a huge nursery. She was very helpful and funny and of course gave us a sample of African Atemoya fruit too. It was very sweet and I enjoyed the fruit as well as the old lady. I recommend this place if you are looking for an exotic variety of fruit tree AND you are ok with paying cash and dealing with a sweet older person helping you. I will be back!

Great place. The people are so nice. They even gave us a sample of Atemoya fruit which was great. They have an amazing selection of tropical fruit. They do not carry any citrus.

This really is a fun place. They only have exotic fruit trees… hundreds of them! They have very interesting cross breeds and their own cultivars. Even though there are lots of signs, you really want the owner to tour you around and give you samples of the fruit. Most are fruiting in fall but some were still available to try in mid winter.
Check it out. You’ll be amazed when you get into the back yard jungle of plants!

Hey! What a find! Accidentally swiped this place when I was looking for a nursery! Call
It serendipity! Nothing but exotic fruit trees! Owner let me try a fruit after I asked for a tree for our small space. He gave lots of helpful advice. We bought the fruit tree and looking forward to fruits in this upcoming year. Hugh backyard, over 30 different fruits. Great pricing. Great service. Bring cash or check.

This place is definitely one of a kind. Located in an average neighborhood is this house stuffed along the front, sides, and backyard with fruit-​bearing trees and plants. Found through Unilocal mobile, a couple friends and I explored around this house like wilderness adventurers, minus the machetes. The selection is unreal with all kinds of rare asian beauties you won’t find anywhere else. I’m talking about plants, by the way. If you are looking for rare asian fruit trees then look no further!

OMG!!! I LOVED this place.
Lots and lots of interesting trees and plants packed into a tiny backyard hillside slope. Many fruiting trees from Asia and South America. Mangoes, Sapote, Miracle fruit and cherimoya.
As mentioned before, they are only open on the weekends. The owner is very knowledgeable and willing to help you with any questions you have.

My family is really into the rare Asian fruit trees and we usually drive to LA to buy them. So when a friend recently told me about Ong Nursery in San Diego I had to check them out.
Overall the prices are very reasonable compared to where we go to in LA. There were some rare trees that were a bit more expensive than what I was used to but the trees were also bigger. The owner Quang, his mother, and his workers are all very friendly and helpful (unlike the LA place we go to). They let us sample some of their fruits and also provided print outs on the proper way to plant a fruit tree. I had some questions on how to self pollinate a cherimoya tree and Quang emailed me the directions. In total, I bought three fruit trees from them and I’d definitely go back there again.
The nursery is actually at a residential house but don’t be fooled. The backyard is huge and there are tons of fruit trees all around the house. They have lychee, guava, cherimoya, wax apple, citrus, etc. I would check their website or call if there is a specific fruit you have in mind. Just remember they are only open on the weekends.

This nursery is AWESOME. My bf and I have been to many many nurseries in the San Diego County area and we really wish we found this place first.
They do not advertise and are only known via word of mouth. One of their customers actually created their website for them.
If you are looking for rare and exotic trees this is the place to go. They have been in business for over 25 years and also have a very large farm in Fallbrook where they grow exotic fruit (like Lychee!) to sell.
Important Things To Know:
1. They are only open Saturday & Sunday.
2. If you are one of those people who like the fru fru overpriced snooty nurseries this place is NOT for you. It is not your typical nursery location. It’s in a local neighborhood (Linda Vista — next door to Kearny Mesa area) and at their house. It was so surprising how they had created an actual nursery in their back yard!
3. They have hundreds of types of exotic trees. All of them are crazy healthy and in excellent shape. All the trees are priced reasonably.
4. The owners are from Vietnam and are totally awesome! They are experts and extremely knowledgeable with all the tress and how to care for them. They really have a grasp on how t0o successfully farm and grow exotic fruit trees in SoCal.
