Welcome to DISTINCTIVE EARTHSCAPES at THE AVOCADO NURSERY
- Acres of plants meant to grow in this area (Casa Grande, Phoenix, Tucson, and throughout Pinal County). We have two growing areas in Arizona- Douglas and Casa Grande.
- The majority of our greenery is grown by us. These plants have lived in this climate all their lives; they can take the extreme temperatures.
- Here at Distinctive Earthscapes, we have four (4) Master Gardeners from the University of Arizona, and everyone comes from a landscaping background.
- Phil Bond, owner, has taught vocational agriculture and horticulture courses for over 30 years and is a third generation Arizonan.
- There is no place on earth that can better serve you with your planting and landscaping needs in Arizona.
- Bring in a plant plan and we will help sketch and arrange a distinctive landscape for you.
- We keep prices low by having our own water wells, being out of city limits, growing most plants from seed—up to 24” box size, and by trading products with other AZ growers.
- Because we grow most of our own plants and trees, we are not only able to keep prices low, but, more importantly, keep quality high. We grow products like they are in our own yards, because they are.
Take The Time To Look Us Over
- Our highway frontage is narrow, but don’t let that fool you. We actually go back a quarter mile east. Take the time to look in all the greenhouses, propagation areas, wholesale/growing spots, cactus zones, and water ponds.
WE’RE GROWING THANKS TO YOU!
- Thanks to people just like you, we have become one of the largest retail nurseries in Pinal County. Our emphasis is growing plants for your landscape projects, but our passion is treating customers like you with respect, and helping you be successful with your landscaping dreams.

I will pass this note to Phil. Adel
What kind of small(4′-5′ across by 4′-5′ height) fruit tree or shrub would grow best in my raised bed. It would not only have to take the heat but cold from south west corner, and white flies? I already have enough citrus so I don’t want anymore. Would a pomegranate be hardy enough? There would be no shade. However we do have automatic irrigation system.
A pomegranate bush would do wonderful in your raised bed, does not attract whiteflies, takes full sun, does go dormant in winter only dependant on temperature, and when dormant it is when to trim to keep small.
Do you have climbing trumpet viens
We will have more this Wednesday afternoon.
Hi Phil we have lots of white spots on our cacti, I’m not sure of the proper name, but they are very very big prickly pear. Someone told me this is a fungus, and that a lot of it could be sprayed off. When I did this, the white area was” bleeding” reddish liquid! Now the little black ants seem to be eating away at these. Please advise!
The white spots is an insect called cochineal. It is normal for a red dye to come out from the cotton look covering the cochineal insect, which means that the insect is being killed. You can also dry the insect with rubbing alcohol and water. With this treatment ants will not be attracted to the cochineal.
Do you have Joshua trees? If so, what is their price range?
We only have in small size maybe 3 inches. Waiting for supply a but bigger than this for next week Thursday.
Hi, Phil. Sorry I can’t sell my books with you; I just cannot handle the heavy tables and canopy any more. Miss you. For the Joshua Tree, next week is perfect. How large and what cost range?
Size and price will be known once delivery has arrived. We will keep you informed.

My mother LOVES to grow plants and HATES to leave them when she visits me out of state because, invariably, some die with the “foreign waterer.” She just came back from a visit & lost quite a few! She has a birthday tomorrow and I would like to get her a gift certificate so she can pick out some more. Is this possible from out of state?
Yes it is. We can do process over the phone.
