Ah, Gary's place!
Been there more times than some guys have seen their wives . . .
Just to buy palms.
He doesn' t have the selection that the Hawaiian growers or JD Andersen do, but what he's got seriously rocks, because there's no greenhouse shrink, because there's no greenhouse. Gary's plants are hard-grown, under shadecloth only, which means if they survive for him, they'll survive for you. I t doesn't hurt that a lot of the "parents" are on the property . . . .

I add that Gary's place was and remains my first stop for palm shopping in San Diego county . . .

Gary offers great prices on his palms and it's nice to know they won't shrink back when I plant them or take a year or more to get going.

Gary has the best prices over the internet and is very friendly and helpful, love going to his place and looking at his rare palm collection. Highly recommend him for a visit and has one of the fastest turn arounds for mail order too. Thanks Gary for your help!
