We grow the shade trees planted around a modern glass office building, the flowering shrubs that add a touch of hospitality to a home in Texas, and the stately palms that line the entrances of sports arenas and campuses.

We grow our plants with pride to serve landscape contractors, garden retailers, wholesalers, and landscape architects, helping them provide the best value for their customers.

In the mid 1950's, Ralph C. Pivonka and his son, Mike, designed a propane torch for burning weeds and brush on their Kansas family farm. As word spread about their flaming equipment, Ralph and Mike found themselves building more and more torches to satisfy a growing local demand. The Pivonkas soon out grew their farm workshop and went into full production establishing the company known as Flame Engineering, Inc., which now has expanded into national and international markets with the popular Red Dragon product line.  From a single torch, developed for use on the family farm, Flame Engineering, Inc. has expanded its product line to over 100 items.

Their newest addition the Mini-Dragon™ is powered by clean burning propane from a portable propane canister (14 oz. minimum) making it a natural method for weed control.  The “Mini Dragon™” offers a customer an opportunity to experience flaming and its effectiveness with extreme convenience and portability in eliminating weeds safely without chemicals.
