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.

I just noticed that RPS now lists a new (?) batch of seeds of Ceroxylon sasaimae. I got seeds of this one previously but months later none have sprouted. I'll probably order it again. I hope someone else on this forum (who has better luck germinating/growing this genus) will try also. It may be a species that is adaptable to a wider range of growing zones. It's certainly an attractive palm! https://www.rarepalmseeds.com/ceroxylon-sasaimae

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

I purchased seeds from CollectorsPalms over a month ago. The last I heard from him he verified payment and said I would receive the seeds in about a week- that would have been a month ago. He has not responded to multiple messages even though I can see he has logged in several times in the past month. If you choose to go through this 'seller' please use a payment method that can be refunded. I hope I can update this positively in the future, but I have doubts. Buyer Beware.

One gallon size Zamia splendens, seed grow from my own plants. Super Shiny leaves and beautiful Pink emergent new leaves (this leaf is fading now). $30. ‘I could possibly ship, but it would cost, since it would have to go Priority in a Box. (It’s over 12” for first class shipping), and I could possibly try bending leaves to fit. But wouldn’t want to break it. Beachpalms@cfl.rr.com

This guy contacted me via private messages and said he has some seeds for sale that I need. I have previously asked for nikau and bangalow seeds on the forum here in the category /wanted seeds for sale. He asked me to transfer 70 dollars for the seeds, which I have already done in November! Then he has said that he will send me seeds, or will refund money if he will be unable to send them because, as he said, he is struggling with a number of problems in his life now, and is unsure when he can send seeds . I said ok, you can just refund me the full amount if you will be not able to send seeds to me. for 1.5 months I have not received any response from him, he has l…

Most of us know Shleby from the forums (PalmMom007) but I did not know that she was running a full-fledged nursery as Premier Growers in Florida. I ordered a 7g Copernicia fallaensis from their website, and received an absolutely amazing plant. The roots were so healthy and full I had to stuff the palm in a 15g pot! They have lots of other gems and are certified to ship to California. Definitely worth repeat business!

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 👍

Chad Ross / SabalFreak352 / CoconutGambler352 - SCAMMER
by The Silent Seed- 4 replies
- 1.1k views
I am sorry that it has come to this, but it has. I paid Chad Ross $45 for some Sabal seeds on August 26. (This is after him telling me he was having paypal and venmo problems, which should have been the first red flag.) Since then, it has been excuse after excuse, and a complete lack of communication in-between. I have not gotten anything from him. Also being fairly new to Venmo, I wasn't aware that my payment was not protected - thankfully it was not a larger purchase, but this needs to be known that this individual (a member here,) is a scammer. I did report it to Venmo, and to the support department here (which never responded, by the way.) Chad…

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 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.
