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.

eBay seller Goldendee95

Anybody bought from them? They're a Florida seller who has some really unique and rare stuff so somebody here has to know them. I just ordered a Hydriastele beguinii for dirt cheap, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

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 …

It's got a high customer satisfaction rating. Amazon UK apparently partners with him when you order. He offers a lot of species of palms and tropicals. Could be a viable (pun intended) alternative to RPS?😉

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

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…

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 👍

CollectorsPalms
by Yeehova- 13 replies
- 1.7k views
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.

GoatLockerGuns
by JohnAndSancho- 1 reply
- 559 views
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.

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.

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 …

I often buy bulk Jubaea chilensis seeds from this vendor and always have a pleasant buying experience. The seeds germinate reliably and at a 75-85% rate or better. Recommended, especially for Jubaea seeds. Bruce used to go by @botanical treasures on the forums. https://www.ebay.com/usr/gullivergall
