How it all begins.

We grow thousands of palms in containers from one gallon to sometimes fifteen gallon size. It all starts in the Fall when we collect seed from all the old large palms growing at our home and our nursery. During the late Winter we planted well over 50,000 seed and now they are germinating rapidly. Soon they will planted in small pots to start them on their journey to larger sellable plants.

Interested in growing cold hardy palms in NC?
Once again I have been honored by being asked by Tryon Palace to give a presentation on my 40 plus years experiences on growing palms in eastern NC. I gave a similar presentation in 2005 and by the grace of God many of my palms are still with me in spite of one of the most devastating freezes in years in 2018.
Topics covered will be palm selection, palm siting and planting, fertilization, insect control, palm trimming and cold protection in the event of a forecasted out of zone freeze. The presentation will include many photos of some very old palms here in the area.

It is scheduled for July 11, 2026 at 10:30 AM at the History Center in New Bern.
Address: 529 South Front Street.

Stay tuned for the time and any updates.
