Bananas, coconuts, and citrus fruits are prolific almost year-round. In 1999, this nursery produced over 15,000 seedlings of 20 or more species. The seedlings are planted on TFI grounds or sold and traded to regional buyers. An arboterum is located about 0.4 km west of the main house. The general elevation ranges from 100 m to 500 m above sea level.
Trails traverse tracts of primary, secondary forest and plantations, and open pasture.
As in much of Costa Rica, communication options are changing as new technologies become available. There are no telephone lines into the Tres Piedras community however, the community of San Juan de Dios about 5 km away has 1 public phone. Public phones are available in San Isidro, Platinillo and Dominical but often there are waiting lines and the service is marginal. Due to changes in the Costa Rican telephone system, cellular phone is not currently available, though it may be by the summer. Internet service is available in Dominical and San Isidro but again waiting lines can be long.
