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.

You agree that by participating in the "Palm Exchange" or otherwise engaging in commerce facilitated by Palm Talk you shall not violate any applicable local, state. federal, or international law or regulation and you are not a party or subject to or bound by any law of any jurisdiction, court or governmental body that is likely to adversely affect any agreements or transactions in which you engage as a result of your participation in Palm Talk.

Therefore any person who is dissatisfied with any transaction should, in an attempt to resolve the issue, contact PRIVATELY the seller or purchaser--as the case may be--involved in the transaction.

    Golden Gate Palms

    I stopped by Golden Gate Palms in Richmond yesterday and I feel that I must ask; 'What has happened to this place?' The gate was open, although the hours for Sunday are marked 'Closed'. I'll leave the names out for this report as I am only reporting my experience. I went in and met the person in the yard and told him I was looking for something small to take up my hill to plant on Earth Day. I am not a big Earth Day supporter but looking for an excuse to plant a tree was pretty easy. After shedding the suggestions of a Pygmy date Palm, Queen Palm, and 'Fan Palm', it became pretty clear to me that the person attending probably knew less about the stock than I. I a…

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…

    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

    Holton Nursery (561) 965-6792 is located in Loxahatchee Fl. Dale Holton specializes in Cycads and is one of the most knowledgeable in South Fl when it comes to Cycads. He also specializes in a large assortment of Caribbean palms, his prices and willingness to spend time and educate you is hard to beat! I have bought many palms and Cycads from him, and give him the highest vendor recommendation that I can give.

    I got a package seized because of a missing phytosanitary certificate. US Customs destroyed the seeds and (by protocol) sent the USDA to inspect my nursery. Meanwhile, this company says they should not destroy the seeds and sends me a copy of the phytosantary certificate. I got in touch with Customs and they had destroyed them already. They refuse to either partial refund of my money, or send a reduced seeds with a phytosanitary. Be very aware of this company as I don't think they know how to ship to the USA and will not correct what is their fault.

    Hello All, Aside from RPS & Ortanique, I've been watching the following palm seed suppliers. Can anyone vouch for them? Any troubles ordering/receiving seeds? Are their seeds fresh; do they germinate? I don't want to be gypped or have my cc# stolen. Seedrack.com Thaipalmseeds.com Amazonia Palm & Exotic Seeds - This site confuses me. It offers some seeds "in stock", others as "coming soon" with proviso that buyers commit to purchase at unspecified prices. I don't commit to anything open-ended like that and I've noticed in the past several months the coming soon stuff never arrives. What's the deal?

    I'm from Nebraska and found Josh via Craigslist and have made two visits to him to pick up palms. Always great choices, many more exotic species here than typically seen so it's easy to impulse buy! I always leave with more knowledge about palms and putting many more on my mental list to have in the future. Since I drive here from Nebraska I'm limited by what I can haul back in my truck... Thanks Josh! you know I'll take great care of them. Scott/Omaha

    I purchased some cycads from Jubaea_ James760 last August and was very satisfied with my purchase. The plants were as described, healthy and in great condition. James provided excellent communication, care instructions, and the packaging was very secure and professional. I can recommend Jubaea_James760.

    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

    I dropped out of the bidding at the Darian meeting for a Dypsis, and soon afterward had a severe case of bidder's remorse. I telephoned Phil Bergman at 10:00 AM on Tuesday to inquire if he had this species. "Yes, and we can mail-order it to you" was the response. Phil sent me a Dypsis in the 5-gallon pot, not bare-rooted. The package arrived at my home on Thursday at 2:00 PM, just 52 hours after our conversation. The palm was in perfect condition and was exactly as he had described it. Thanks Phil !!!

    Hi All, I take negative feedback very seriously, but I feel obligated to raise a flag regarding Jurassic Garden/A&A Cycads. There seem to be some significant issues over there at the minute. I put in an order on February 8th, 2015, and after many attempts to track down status, I finally received PART of my order on 3/21/15 (6 weeks later.) The order was incomplete, with items on the 2nd page excluded, and I am now attempting to track down status of the remainder. Also, I was not sent a promised "freebie" that was supposed to be a "thank you" for patience during the extraordinary shipping delay. I can't comment on this operation outside of this one order …

    Does anybody here have experience with these guys? I have been eying their stock for a few months, and would like to get my hands on some of their palm seeds. Some of the species they're offering have been available on their site for more than 6 months already, so I'm not too sure about the viability at this point. Would just like to know if anybody has ordered from them, and what the experience was like. Their site: http://www.baobabs.com/nbga_IN.php
