Siting, protection and the right palm for your yard. Honest answers from someone who's lost a few.
How it arrives
This is what shows up at your door.
In its own pot
The pot it grew up in. Nothing pulled, nothing trimmed.
In its own soil
Never bare root, so the roots barely notice they moved.
Ready to plant that day
Into the ground or a bigger pot. Packed to arrive healthy, and if it shows up broken, I'll make it right.
The rhythm
A palm's year in Wisconsin.
Four seasons, one simple routine. It's less work than people think.
The proof
The yard, by the numbers.
Real plants, real dates. Every palm in the ground has a record, including the ones that didn't make it.
From seed
Every palm starts as a seed, grown right here.

"Plants came in and looked great… The packaging was A+, I don't think the plants moved at all. I will definitely order again from this company. They are outside already loving the sunshine in TX."

Where it started
The guy behind the palms
It started with one windmill palm.
It made it through nine Wisconsin winters, until it outgrew the tallest box I could build. Since then I've grown palms from seed, built greenhouses, lost a few, and written every lesson down.
I'm one guy in Saukville who wants your palm to make it as badly as you do.

Questions, answered.
In zones 5 and 6, yes, with the right protection. I have had palms in the ground in Saukville since 2008. Check your zone above for the quick answer, and the free guide covers which palms to start with.
Every palm ships in its pot, in the soil it grew in. No bare root and no shock. It goes in the ground, or into a bigger pot, the day it arrives.
Late March through October, every week. I ship on Tuesdays and Saturdays. November through March, a palm only ships when the forecast stays above freezing for the whole trip, from Wisconsin to your door. How shipping works
Every palm ships in its pot, in its soil, packed so it doesn't move. If the palm itself shows up broken (a snapped trunk or a damaged center spear), send me a photo within 48 hours of delivery and I'll send a new one. You just cover the shipping on the replacement, or take store credit instead. A bent or partly broken frond doesn't count, and neither do a few brown tips. The palm grows new fronds from the center, and you can just trim a damaged one off. Once it's in your ground, it's yours, but I'm always a message away.
Yes. Book a video call, 30 minutes for $35 or a full hour for $60, and we will plan the spot, the palm and the winter protection.
