Celebrating 49 years in 2024
THANK YOU !!!
By the Grace of God and the support of our friends, customers and suppliers we are celebrating our 49th year in 2024. 
We are truly grateful for the many landscape projects we have had the pleasure of installing. Also very grateful for all the local folks and folks who come from afar to purchase our cold hardy palms and for the hundreds of dear friendships coming from the love of palms.

Perennial Hibiscus 'Red Star'

ClWe havThousands of young palms with more and more reaching a good size and ready to go out of here and be planted. We have been growing cold hardy palms from seed for almost 40 years. Most all the large palms you see at our place and at our nursery were started out as smaller plants which establish better than large ones. They grow up in place and are acclimatized to the area they will spend their life.
Please call for hours.

Sabal Palmetto 'Fat Boy'. A sabal that we grew from seed and planted here. This palm survived the 2018 freeze that killed so many palmettos in the area. Its self-seeded 10' offspring has been rapidly growing at its base since 2018. Three gallon offspring are available in limited numbers.
