ABOUT US
K.C. "Bud" & wife,
Jackie Klein started
growing coonties (
Zamia floridana/pumila)
on their farm in Pasco
County, Florida in
1994 with the intention
of supplying seedlings
for the burgeoning
native plant market.
After several years
they stepped up the
operation to a full
scale nursery and
started potting plants.
The rest is history,
as they say, and soon
Duck Lake Trees &
Shrubs became the
major supplier of
coonties in the state
of Florida (and no
doubt, the world ).
The coontie, which
is a native xeric
plant, requires minimal
care after becoming
established. It is
in great demand for
use in residential
landscaping as well
as state and municipal
projects. Because
it tolerates shade
as well as full sun,
it is also very useful
as an interior foliage
plant.
Today
Duck Lake nursery
has the largest stand
of cultivated coonties
ever offered to the
market, boasting over
2 million plants from
seedlings to 45 gallon
specimens.
