Cherrylake has over 1,800 acres of containerized trees, shrubs and palms in production in addition to being a trusted leader in the Central Florida market in landscape construction and maintenance. It is the third largest ornamental tree farm in the Southeast U.S. and one of the fastest-growing landscape contractors in the country.

Cherrylake Wilderness Preserve is in the process of becoming a 1,300-acre Mitigation Bank. The goal is to restore and enhance the land back to its natural habitat. The land will be protected for eternity through a conservation easement that will be used to offset adverse impacts to existing wetlands, resulting in a net gain of protected land.
