Photos shown below are of 3, 7 and 15 palms in our fields before the recession of 2008-2010. Then in 2012 I had lung cancer, then a few years later melanoma but by the grace of God and a loving wife, recovered from both of them. Then in 2018 the disastrous freeze killed thousands of plants. Our palm inventory was drastically reduced. In 2023, after all of this, my love of growing palms, and with determination and hard work we started greatly building our inventory up again.
As of now, in October 2026, we have over 12,000 palms in containers and planting more every week.
And there again thanks to the Good Lord, my partner and loving wife, Missy, and our suppliers who helped us through all of that.
As always we greatly appreciate the support our friends and customers
These little girls are grown now and two of them have little ones of their own.
