I found Steve's site through an ad on the Daves Garden website. We exchanged e-mails regarding some plants that I never see for sale here on the west coast. (Acanthophoenix rubra, Gastrococos crispa). Steve ships small stuff up to one gallon. He told me he'd get me an invoice amount, & asked if I could then send him a check, at which time he'd ship the plants. I then get a call from him the following day saying "I didn't want the plants to get tangled up with the holiday mail, so I sent them out yesterday. So send me a check when you get them". A very trusting guy, I'm thinking. But trusting people tend to be trustworthy ones. The plants came in great shape the next day, I highly reccommend Steve!

I have visited Steve's place once a year from Maryland for the past four or five years. He is indeed honest, trustworthy and incredibly knowledgable about ALL things palms. I always look forward to visiting and dealing with him.

Steve's place is well worth a visit and a great place to find some rare palms.
I have been to many places and think Steve really has a nice nursery.
He is helpfull and knows all about palms.
If you are in the area you should stop by.
