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.

These are Bismarkia germinated seeds were(is) listed on ebay by a seller from Lakeland, /florida. His asking price was 19.95 plus 12.70 shipping. When I asked about these seeds he said they were very healthy, when I asked him about the root condition appearing to be cut or broken, the scissors are a nice touch, which Im sure many if not all will agree means certain death. I have germinated many Bismarkia as well as other seeds, but he insisted that I must not know what I am looking at or how to continue germination. Afterwhich he cancelled my order with him of other plant materials, then sent me message through ebay that my items had shipped. His ad for the bismarkias h…

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

Hello, I wanted to buy plants and asked for the transport. He answered. So I payed over 135 Euro and since then no contact, no tracking Number and no Plants. I heart from others in blogs in the past he is serious. Tried to contact with different email-adresses from him. no reaction from him or other people in his shop. Is this meanwhile a fake-Palmseller or does anybody know his seriousness at the moment (not the past!!!) ? Warning to buy at the moment as no reaction occured for weeks. Did not get money back since now. Oliver

I encountered Netopalms on PalmTalk as I answer an ad for selling "orange crush" plans. Arranged to go to his residential nursery and saw beautiful plants, well maintained and cared for - the prices were better than reasonable. I strongly recommend exploring his inventory - he specializes in palms from Cuba.

I got a package seized because of a missing phytosanitary certificate. US Customs destroyed the seeds and (by protocol) sent the USDA to inspect my nursery. Meanwhile, this company says they should not destroy the seeds and sends me a copy of the phytosantary certificate. I got in touch with Customs and they had destroyed them already. They refuse to either partial refund of my money, or send a reduced seeds with a phytosanitary. Be very aware of this company as I don't think they know how to ship to the USA and will not correct what is their fault.

EBAY SCAMMER ALERT
by NorthFlpalmguy- 2 replies
- 1.9k views
I know some of us sell palms/seeds on Ebay and other sites as well and needed to pass on this info. Be warned there is a scammer by the username "sellssword" and is trying to make sellers think their seeds are bad which in reality they are not and he won't return the seeds and demands a refund. It has now happened to several of us now and needs to be reported as I bet there are more of us. With the way Ebay is now ran it is completely one-sided and the vendors are at these scammer's mercy.

I'm from Nebraska and found Josh via Craigslist and have made two visits to him to pick up palms. Always great choices, many more exotic species here than typically seen so it's easy to impulse buy! I always leave with more knowledge about palms and putting many more on my mental list to have in the future. Since I drive here from Nebraska I'm limited by what I can haul back in my truck... Thanks Josh! you know I'll take great care of them. Scott/Omaha

Bryant Brantley has some great deals on fields of Butia odorata palms. He has started venturing into other cold hardy palms as well. He gave me a great deal on a nice field dug trunking Trachyocarpus fortunei and threw in some extra potted palms as well. He was a genuinely nice guy who was a pleasure to do businesswith. He hand dug, wrapped, and tractor loaded my palm with a lot of expertise. ..almost no roots were cut in the process. He is located in Perry Florida on some nice farmland.

Jurassic Garden/A&A Cycads/Maurice Levin
by Ben in Norcal- 9 replies

Hi All, I take negative feedback very seriously, but I feel obligated to raise a flag regarding Jurassic Garden/A&A Cycads. There seem to be some significant issues over there at the minute. I put in an order on February 8th, 2015, and after many attempts to track down status, I finally received PART of my order on 3/21/15 (6 weeks later.) The order was incomplete, with items on the 2nd page excluded, and I am now attempting to track down status of the remainder. Also, I was not sent a promised "freebie" that was supposed to be a "thank you" for patience during the extraordinary shipping delay. I can't comment on this operation outside of this one order …

Dear all, I would bet that nearly anyone here is informed on my passion for the Acanthophonix. Well, I am looking for good sources permanently and have found a further friend in La Réunion, the home of all 3 Acantho species. Alain is perfect, very kind, very professional and ships the seedlings (some of them are more than that) in a way I never have seen before - but it works better than the typical watered and closed root-system. A new charge of A. rousselii (sp. tripaludis) is on it´s way to Germany and I will get a larger Acantho of about 1m - so great. Absolute recommendation for Alain, great source for very healthy Acanthos. Now the details as usual: …
