BUTLER TREE FARM is a wholesale-only nursery located in Central Florida, USA, specializing in trees and large shrubs grown in the patented, above ground Cool Ring container (now manufactured by The Florida Cool Ring Company). With over 30 years of horticulture experience, Joel Butler has been able to offer Florida Fancy plants to buyers across the United States.

Over the last 15 years, Joel has perfected the new growing container which allows Butler Tree Farm to produce superior quality plants in shorter growing periods. Joel graduated from the University of Florida in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture. He is still an active alum member in the Agriculture fraternity Alpha Gamma Rho and the honorary Agriculture society of Alpha Zeta.

Joel is also a current member of the SNA and FNGA, the latter of which he served two years as president of his local chapter and presently sits on the board.

For many years he worked as an environmental engineer specializing in sawgrass mitigation. He is listed in the Who’s Who of the Environmental Register and has mitigation projects that have won many state and national awards.
