What our customers are saying:
(read all testimonials here)

Just got your latest seed list. It is always filled with truly wondrous new additions, but I never thought I'd see Ensete perrieri on any commercial list ever! I expect amazing palms which you seem to have endless resources to find, but wow! And you have a very impressive list of Musa species. From a modest start the list of Yucca and Agave has also grown very impressively. Congratulations on another dazzling list.

Hey, I received my package on Friday. Everything looks good so far. It was a pleasure doing business w/ your company. I will be placing another order shortly, but this time a much larger order.
D.J., Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

First off, we know you are probably expecting bitching about our latest seed order..... On the contrary, we wanted you to know how much we appreciated the superb quality of the seed. Less than 5 floaters in the entire order! Thank you.

  your benefits in buying from rarepalmseeds.com

Species purity: All seeds are species pure, correctly identified and only come from cultivated plants if we are 100% sure that they are species pure (not hybridised).

Freshness: All seeds are completely fresh and viable. We take samples from all deliveries of our collectors, in order to test the freshness and germination rates. These are very rarely low (although in some palm seeds this is sadly unavoidable), occasionally acceptable, but mostly excellent. Germination rates of up to 100% have been reported by many customers. For more information read on...

Experience: With experience dating back to 1992, rarepalmseeds.com has become the world leader in palm seeds. On our product pages you'll find many examples of how our customers have successfully grown palms from seed.

Selection and availability: Make your order from a selection of 300 varieties available immediately and a further 500 seasonally available varieties on our database.

Secure ordering: The order process via our secure server protects your privacy and with data encoding makes your order as secure as possible. Read more...

Convenient payment: You can choose from the following methods of payment: credit card (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx), prior transfer or cheque.

Low delivery costs: For "small packets" the delivery cost is included in the price. For wholesale orders we only charge the costs actually incurred by us.

Worldwide delivery: We have delivered successfully to more than 160 countries, and we make every effort to send your seeds even to "difficult" countries.

Customer satisfaction: Customers who are not satisfied with the germination of their seeds will be reimbursed by us (except where due to obvious customer error). Hundreds of customer letters can testify to the quality of the seeds delivered and to our friendly service. Read more...

Fair Trade: We give our collectors at least 50% of what we earn from our sales. This way, we are helping not only the collectors in often very poor countries but also contributing to the survival of many palms in natural habitats often threatened by logging.
