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 placed an order several months ago with Jeff Marcus--- this is a bit of a testimonial to his good operations for the local buyers. ---- Its easy to praise good service but the real proof of good service is when things go a wrye. The order involved some rare C. tuerkheimmi which are very fragile and summer is hot and unforgiving in FL. UPS totally botched the order mixed up it up with another order thatn they coluld deliver. Before I even realized things were screwed up I got a panicked phone class from Jeff. He called me three times to make certain it was right--- He also called UPs countless times to ensure they kept it in the office where it was air condition…

my personal experience in dealing with these guys i hope will be helpful to others that maybe considering tying to acquire some plants from them. i had contacted them via email and phone calls and they told it was no problem for me to stop by for some plants for me as a homeowner. i showed up from AZ and they told me they were closed-thanks. again, a few calls confirming that it was fine to buy plants for my house and not a mention that they prefer to only deal in wholesale. even if they are gracious enough to be open to the public some random weekend perhaps other palm collectors will consider my experience with these guys.

Well, it looks like these guys are gone. Unfortunately for me, the last thing functioning on their website was the ability to take credit card payments. I had been buying their Lepidorrachis sprouts for several years. Now they have a payment, but I have no order; fax is diconnected. Seems like if you know you're shutting down, you wouldn't be taking money. Ay..

Palm Seeds Thailand

http://www.palmseedsthailand.com/ keeps sending me news letters about new available seed. Has anyone used them and if so what are your thoughts. I tried ordering Kerriodoxa elegans seed for a project but every time I agreed to the amount of seed and price was informed they were sold already and I should've sent the cash immediately as only then is the seed procured. So ended up giving up on the deal after three attempts thinking and rightly so that if I couldn't get my money there faster than 24 hours the time to agree the deal and wire the PO then there was no point in the exercise at all as was simply pointless???

PrimarilyPalms on Ebay (Toyclub4men)
by The Silent Seed- 1 reply
- 2.9k views
This gentleman sells palm and cycad seeds on Ebay. It's too soon to tell if the seeds germinate, or not, on the Palms, but I know that every single Cycad seed I have gotten (All Cycas) floats like a cork. This usually is a sign of not being fertile, or a bad seed. I can understand if a few float, and the rest sink. I only wish. This seller also rarely responds to messages. Very rarely. That said, he always sends the items in a timely manner, and includes extras. Overall, I would rate this a good seller, if you stick to the palm seeds, as long as you understand that he probably is not going to "get back to you."

I have bought several seeds from this site and they all were immature or just bad seeds. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but after several purchases I gave up. They will not get any more of my money. I wrote to them to tell them what was going on and I did not ask for more seeds I just wanted them to know about the seeds in case it was a mistake but they have never replied to my email.

Golden Gate Palms

I stopped by Golden Gate Palms in Richmond yesterday and I feel that I must ask; 'What has happened to this place?' The gate was open, although the hours for Sunday are marked 'Closed'. I'll leave the names out for this report as I am only reporting my experience. I went in and met the person in the yard and told him I was looking for something small to take up my hill to plant on Earth Day. I am not a big Earth Day supporter but looking for an excuse to plant a tree was pretty easy. After shedding the suggestions of a Pygmy date Palm, Queen Palm, and 'Fan Palm', it became pretty clear to me that the person attending probably knew less about the stock than I. I a…

For anyone looking for some nice Sabal Minors (Louisiana form)... this guy has some VERY nice ones at great prices. I received mine in 2 days, packed well and he even put damp newspaper over the soil to keep them moist while in travel. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/north_of_florida_palms Here's the advertised picture: An what I received: The exact Sabal pictured and exactly the size he claimed. It's 26" tall. Just thought I'd post this since S. Minors can be hard to find in some places and I ordered one from another vendor a while back and it was not near as nice! Jay
