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.

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
- 1.3k 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. 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.

GoatLockerGuns
by JohnAndSancho- 1 reply

Full disclosure, these were freebies. He had posted some sprouted Xmas palm seeds last year and sent them. My local post office is terrible, 3 out of 4 were DOA after taking roughly a month to travel what I'd guess is a 6 hour drive, tops. He posted some L. Chinesis sprouted seeds a few days ago. I offered to pay for UPS shipping, since only 1 of 4 envelopes of seeds from @DoomsDave arrived 3 1/2 months after ship date. That one envelope took 3 1/2 months and was obliterated and empty. @GoatLockerGuns wouldn't take my money and UPS'd free seeds and told me to just pay it forward. Solid dude. Just wanted to throw some kudos.

Bluebell Nursery (Jack and Arlene Passarello)

I love this place. Arlene and Jack are so nice and gracious and is a secret palm source for many seasoned palm growers. They grow everything from seed and the prices are phenomenal. Arlene is now taking hold of most of the business now that I fear Jack is in failing health. Come support a couple that has been so integral to the palm community. 20 gallon Dypsis Decipiens grown for over 10 years just $100 20 gallon Rhopies (grown for over 10 years) for just $100 Many other palm species as well such as Caryota Gigas, Roystenias, Chambeyronias, Kings and Howeas. You can beat the prices and knowing you a supporting a couple that have been such a great part …
