Ann and Arthur Pippos sold their first stone fruit tree in 1968 and have grown their nursery from that date to become suppliers to local, intrastate, interstate and international customers.
As experienced fruit growers in their own right, purchasing their first fruit property in 1970, Ann and Arthur understand the needs of growers and aim to provide quality products.
The
current Loxton Vine & Citrus Nursery site levelled ready for
development. Note the pile of stone, a wall in the making. This site now hales
an impressive nursery complex.
In 1985 the family moved to Pyap, near Loxton, where Ann and Arthur started to develop their vine grafting nursery. It didn't take long for Paul, their son, to become involved and is now an integral part of the nursery.
This enterprise soon grew and in 1995 A & A Pippos Nursery expanded their business to cater for the fast developing vine industry and moved to Kingsbury Road, current location, expanded their products and now provide an extensive range to the industry as a whole.
A little further along, the stone wall is complete and the frame for the first building is coming together.
Loxton Vine and Citrus Nursery Pty Ltd now provides bare rooted and potted citrus and stone fruit of many varieties, along with roses and other ornamentals. Accredited propagation materials and plants are supplied to private customers, commercial nurseries and growers alike.
This web site is just another example of this expanding enterprise now allowing the customers to submit a quotation request online 24 hours a day.
