Ran-Pro Farms produces a wide variety of container-grown landscaping and patio plants, including roses, ornamental grasses, shade, ornamental, fruit and citrus trees as well as crapemyrtles.

Ran-Pro Farms is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ranch Properties, Inc. and has been in business since 1980.
It is our goal to produce plants for the consumer’s ultimate success and satisfaction. The best way to achieve this is to produce only container-grown plants. A well-developed root system is the key for transplanted material to minimize shock and maintain a healthy, growing plant. Unfortunately, not all plants in containers in the retail setting are container-grown. Some are merely transplanted bare root plants that have not had a chance to become established in the soil therefore represent a lower success rate of transplanting by the consumer. You can tell if a plant has an established root system by removing the container and looking to see if there are sufficient roots (white for new and brown for older roots) from 1/3 to 2/3 up from the bottom of the root ball.
A few of the benefits that retailers will appreciate about our products are:
- All plants have been grown in specially formulated with slow–release macro and micro nutrient soil recipes designed especially for that type of plant for maximum production quality and success in the consumer’s landscape
- Great care is taken to produce crops of consistent, high quality. Roses are all #1 grade, trees are staked and pruned to produce straight, well-branched specimens, ornamental grasses are full and well developed and the crapemyrtles are multi-trunked and pruned to enhance their fullness.
- All products can be combined to ship together to meet minimum shipment levels.
- All products are warranted to be true to variety and healthy upon delivery.
- All products are shipped on refrigerated trucks to assure your product arrives “farm fresh”.
Ran-Pro Farms sells it products based upon an availability of product. Orders for spring can be placed at anytime. Many retailers, to assure their spring needs, will place their bookings during the summer. Orders may be placed directly with Ran-Pro Farms either by phone, fax or e-mail or through one of their marketing reps. (See “About Us” for list of Marketing Representatives)
