Palm Grower/Buyer Ratings
Feedback on Vendors & Buyers
RULES FOR RATING VENDORS
POSITIVE FEEDBACK --- If you have had a positive experience with a grower, you are encouraged to leave positive feedback Show a grower your appreciation by doing so. Only one buyer vote per grower. So use it wisely.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ---Registering Negative Feedback is serious. It will affect a grower's credibility. So, please use this option with discretion. And please try to settle any disputes or misunderstandings privately before resorting to a negative vote. YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT EXPLAINING YOUR COMPLAINT IF YOU REGISTER A NEGATIVE VOTE. Explain your reasons for a negative vote, but do it politely. Negative votes without a comment will be deleted.
Please, no discussions allowed - just a single comment about a recent transaction or experience.
If you sell palms, you are encouraged to add yourself to our rating service. You may request to have yourself, or any vendor added (via PM to the Moderator). Or you may personally add yourself or anyone you wish. Anyone can be rated. They do not need to sell palms on PalmTalk in order to be rated. Please follow the accepted format.

I often buy bulk Jubaea chilensis seeds from this vendor and always have a pleasant buying experience. The seeds germinate reliably and at a 75-85% rate or better. Recommended, especially for Jubaea seeds. Bruce used to go by @botanical treasures on the forums. https://www.ebay.com/usr/gullivergall

Ordered from mypalmshop.de last weekend and the order arrived yesterday. Ordered some palm pots and one Sabal minor 'louisiana' to try how the plant quality is. Order arrived within 5 days to Austria. Pots and plant quality seems really good. Prizes are also pretty cheap. Payed 7 euros for this small Sabal. Definitely gonna order again.

Chad Ross / SabalFreak352 / CoconutGambler352 - SCAMMER
by The Silent Seed- 4 replies
- 1.3k views
I am sorry that it has come to this, but it has. I paid Chad Ross $45 for some Sabal seeds on August 26. (This is after him telling me he was having paypal and venmo problems, which should have been the first red flag.) Since then, it has been excuse after excuse, and a complete lack of communication in-between. I have not gotten anything from him. Also being fairly new to Venmo, I wasn't aware that my payment was not protected - thankfully it was not a larger purchase, but this needs to be known that this individual (a member here,) is a scammer. I did report it to Venmo, and to the support department here (which never responded, by the way.) Chad…

Familiar with patioplants.com?
by N8ALLRIGHT- 3 replies
- 777 views
Ok so I found this site,looked to have a nice selection of palms, mostly normal varieties, As well as other tropicals. My problem was where's the pricing? So I got to looking for reviews and found very little for as well put together as the site is. Is this just a case of having to sign up for pricing,is it wholesale, no shipping during winter? Or is there something squirrly with them? I'm a bit of a skeptic by nature. TIA http://Patio plants.com

Palm Specimen Nurseries in Alabama / Georgia / South Carolina

I was wanting to buy some rather large specimen cold-hardy palm trees this spring, but so far my google searches are not netting me much returns. Are there any nurseries in Northern Alabama / Georgia or Western South Carolina that have large specimen palms? I don't really want to travel much farther south than Birmingham / Atlanta, Greenville. Thanks!

How would you rate Letsgrowflorida.com? They are also operating on ebay as https://www.ebay.com/str/letsgrowflorida They have sent me seeds via FedEx upon my request since I wanted as fresh seeds as possible. This was in 2018. Satakentia liukiuensis seeds were sent without any moisture (contrary to my advise and request), completely dry and thus never germinated. Let's Grow Florida promised to send me replacement SL seeds properly moist. Yet once ebay feedback time expired (and I never left them any feedback since I was waiting for replacement seeds), they stopped communicating with me. I thought they are quite a significant nursery so why not give them a chance…

@palmsOrl and myself went over to Largo to see @SWFLchris's operation. Chris had a large selection of palms that aren't available in your typical big box outlets. I picked up two Carpentaria acuminata seedlings and a Cryosophila warscewiczii to add to my landscape. @palmsOrl posted his plunder on this thread in the Discussion forums: https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/64208-new-palms-a-floribunda-order-and-a-trip-to-see-chris/ Some of the inventory for this nursery is listed here: https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/grd/d/largo-rare-palms-huge-selection-of-1/7126808922.html A few of my Tampa area friends like @RedRabbit and @Chatta will be…

So I stumbled upon this site this morning and am curious if anyone has had any dealings purchasing palms from them, they appear to have quite a extensive selection but are closed this week for processing orders. It would seem none of the pot sizes are huge and the prices are not available so I don't know if the rates are reasonable, just curious what experiences others have had. https://urbanpalms.com

Guys, do you know seller Safenut on ebay? Ordered a seedling a week ago and haven't heard from the seller ever since, despite many emails sent to him. Could be he's on vacation or something, but it makes me afraid as it's mid winter and I need to know if and when the plant is shipped. Do let me know if you had any experiences like that in a past. Thanks

Hello, Chris (JubaeaMan183) offered to sell me a nice looking Attalea cohune before the holidays. We corresponded by PM and text. I sent him money via paypayl, and he told me he would ship it the week after Christmas. I have not received it nor heard back from him since that time despite several text messages. It looks like he has not logged on here since December 26th. Does anyone know if he is okay? Thanks, Daniel

Premier Growers (Shelby & Corey)

Most of us know Shleby from the forums (PalmMom007) but I did not know that she was running a full-fledged nursery as Premier Growers in Florida. I ordered a 7g Copernicia fallaensis from their website, and received an absolutely amazing plant. The roots were so healthy and full I had to stuff the palm in a 15g pot! They have lots of other gems and are certified to ship to California. Definitely worth repeat business!

I’ll start off by saying I love Corey and Shelby of premier grower in ft Saint James Florida. Every palm I think I need they have lol. Very fast response to the many kinda crazy questions I have about the palms I have or I’m thinking about buying. Prices are the cheapest/fair I found and the quality of plants are amazing. Very healthy palms and they helped me out when I had a mishap and didn’t even have to cause it was on my end. Fast shipping and overall great people
