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.

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.

Wekiva Foliage
by Leelanau Palms- 6 replies
- 793 views
I've ordered twice from Wekiva Foliage via Etsy: one Allagoptera arenaria and two small Rhapis excelsa (arrived as three, nice). I am very pleased. Pricing was not cheap, but not outrageous. Ordering was a breeze on Etsy using Paypal. There was like a 3 day gap before shipping, but then shipping was fast via USPS. Plants arrived in quite excellent condition--really impressive, some of the best I've seen. They have settled in quickly. Recommend Wekiva. Here they are potted up.

Mule Palms of Mississippi - dud Butyagrus seeds?
by UK_Palms- 16 replies
- 797 views
So I'm just wondering about other people's experiences when buying from this company? Specifically any reviews of their Butyagrus seeds that they have been selling in recent years...? Someone in the UK brought a batch about 2 years ago and I was able to source some of them from him via Ebay about 20 months ago now. I paid £36 / £48 for 8 of those seeds from him plus UK postage. I think he had ordered 100 seeds for about $250 and had to pay about $40 postage to get them to the UK. Some of those he was able to sell on to other collectors like myself. Well fast-forward almost 2 years now and I haven't had any of my 8 seeds germinate and I haven't heard about any ge…

Gotta saw @Allen is an amazing member of the palm community. Not only does he share his vast knowledge of growing palms is a pretty chilly climate (7a) in the winter. To add icing on the cake he even sends seed out to members on his dime that he has harvested. Big kudos to Tennessee Tropics 👍

This is a repost of information I originally included on a for sale thread earlier in February. I purchased 3 Sabal minors from @teddytn last week. He added a bonus Sabal louisiana for no extra charge (thank you). I am very pleased. Ordering and communication was good. The price of the palms and shipping was excellent (better)--make sure to include @teddytn in your sabal shopping because of it (PM me if more info desired). The size, maturity, roots, and condition of the sabals were superior, especially for the price. The sabals arrived in good condition despite the winter weather. Here are the pics: Arrival packaging and condition …

Safenut - Ebay

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

Chambeyronia seeds from rarepalmseeds.com
by harleyb- 12 replies
- 1.3k views
Good morning from New Zealand! First time posting here but I've been reading your posts for a while. I recently bought (well I thought I did) some chambeyronia macrocarpa seeds from rarepalmseeds.com on 15 February, and ever since then... nothing. The order shows as "processing" on their website and they have not responded to my three recent emails asking for an update. I'm starting to think that I've just done myself out of a few hundred dollars here. 😞 I've not previously had any trouble with RPS apart from orders being a bit slow to arrive (partly because of where I am). I've got plenty of bizzies and ravenala growing from RPS-sourced seeds, no problems …

parrish Sweet Bay Nursery - Parrish, FL
by kinzyjr- 1 reply
- 657 views
For anyone that loves Florida's native plants, including native palms, cycads, and tropical hardwoods, this nursery is hard to beat. It's located in Parrish, FL, between I-75 and US-301, making for an easy way in and out of the area. I've bought a lot of plants there, and the staff were always helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. It's worth checking out their plant list and calling ahead to verify they still have plants in the sizes you wish to purchase ahead of time. Native palms tend to sell quickly, especially the harder to find species like Coccothrinax argentata and Leucothrinax morrisii. Website: https://sweetbaynursery.com/ PalmTalk threads mentioni…

I ordered a few plants from Wanderlust Nursery: 2 x Syagrus romanzoffiana "Santa Catarina" 1 x Ichang lemon 1x Fascicularia bicolor Plants were packaged extremely well - I haven't seen better. As a result they showed up flawless. All plants were healthy and the Fascicularia was pretty darn big. Also received a freebie bromeliad in the mix. Definitely recommend this vendor to others. The owner is a member here as well - many thanks to @matthedlund.

Cycadjungle/Tom Broom

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up for Tom and the cycad jungle. Recently was looking for a dioon edule " queretero". Not many leads, and the ones I did find were small and pricey. I stumbled through @cycadjungle website,it was old but had some really good prices. So I shot Tom an email and the rest is history. A beautiful blue queretero was sent,I purchased this 15 gallon beast for probably not much more with shipping than a small seedling from another vendor.

Scam palm seller
by NWpalms@206- 9 replies
- 905 views
Heads up I was ripped off for $200 by a person claiming to have the palms I was looking in the wanted section… Luiz Mario is what they went by and email luizmario7789@gmail.com. An individual by the name hyuuuttr645 who just posted a “Hello” recently in this group private messaged me the same day they signed up, claiming this person had palms, and giving me the email above. And has had zero activity since. So not sure if they are the same person or working together or what, but hopefully no one else gets ripped off. We operate on trust around here and is a shame when folks abuse that for us honest ones . Anyways watch out y’all.
