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 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.

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 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 …

Guys, do you know seller Safenut on ebay? Ordered a seedling a week ago and haven't heard from the seller ever since, despite many emails sent to him. Could be he's on vacation or something, but it makes me afraid as it's mid winter and I need to know if and when the plant is shipped. Do let me know if you had any experiences like that in a past. Thanks

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

Ok so I found this site,looked to have a nice selection of palms, mostly normal varieties, As well as other tropicals. My problem was where's the pricing? So I got to looking for reviews and found very little for as well put together as the site is. Is this just a case of having to sign up for pricing,is it wholesale, no shipping during winter? Or is there something squirrly with them? I'm a bit of a skeptic by nature. TIA http://Patio plants.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…
