Bill is a very underated grower and offers rare and common palms at a great price. Always make a trip to Multiflora a couple times a year.

I wish Bill had stayed "off the radar" a little longer. I could have had even more palms! Great palms at awesome prices!

I think Bill has kind of been "our little secret" for awhile. The 3 5-gallon palms I bought from him would have been potted up to 15's by most nurseries. Even Florida folks would approve.

You were the one that took him off the radar! Rusty and I were enjoying all the rare goodies till shon brought you there.

love this place. ran into bill at the swap meet. his prices are great and so are the quality of his plants. very nice guy who will flat out tell you the truth if a palm will do well in your local. ive picked up over 25 palms from bill so far and all have done great. when im looking for any type of palm i call bill first.

I agree, with everything above. Multiflora has become one of my favorite nurseries and I've definitely found some treasures there. Everything is very well taken care of and acclimates very quickly for me.

good stuff from bill especially if you are looking for a Butia compacta or a seedling from his Sabal causarum growing in his front yard. also, lots of other plants for around the yard-thanks bill
