FOLIAGE PLANTS

Florida again led the Nation in net wholesale sales of potted foliage and foliage hanging baskets with sales of $309.5 million during 1995. The 1995 sales increased by almost five percent from the 1994 revised sales of $296.1 million. Potted foliage sales accounted for $268.4 million of the 1995 total while the sales of foliage hanging baskets totaled $41.1 million. Florida's 425 commercial growers used over 166.3 million square feet to produce foliage, down slightly from the 1994 area. The 57 firms, whose sales of foliage totaled a million dollars or more, accounted for 63 percent of all sales compared with 65 percent in 1994.

Foliage sales in the southeast, which includes the counties of Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach, increased 9 percent from the 1994 sales of $152.5 million to $168.3 million during 1995 which represents over 54 percent of all 1995 foliage sales. Southeastern growers used almost 128.0 million square feet to produce the 1995 foliage crop, up two percent from the previous year. The Apopka area, which includes the counties of Lake, Orange, and Seminole, sold $116.3 million worth of foliage during 1995 which is almost 38 percent of all 1995 foliage sales, and almost one percent more than the 1994 sales of $115.5 million. Apopka producers used 24.6 million square feet, more than six percent higher than the 23.1 million square feet used in 1994.
