Experience
Established in 1977, Jungle Music Palms and Cycads has thirty one years experience in helping home owners and plant enthusiasts create wonderful gardens, find rare palms, and find rare cycads.  Phil Bergman, the Owner, is past President of the International Palm Society as well as the Palm Society of Southern California.  He is an experienced lecturer and author on the subject and has written many articles on palm tree care .  He has helped thousands create their dream garden.  His son, Jesse, also an author and lecturer on palms and cycads,  has been doing the same for about a decade.  We've been growing palm trees for years and there are few nurseries around with  as much palm tree care experience as Jungle Music.

Picking the right palm trees or cycads for your location
Need help on growing palm trees? Do you want tall palms?  Short palms?  Fan palms?  Feather palms?  Palms for hot, dry sun?  Palms for shady areas?  Big cycads?  Small, petite cycads?  Do you live in a "desert" climate?  If you need answers for your inquiries or questions, we have lots of articles on these topics at this site that will answer your questions.  But, we've found many people are overwhelmed with the information in this Site because there's so many species of palm plants.  No problem, just drop by and we'll get you started with suggestions of species you can most likely grow in your area.  We have photographs of what the plants will look like when mature.

 

If you need more extensive review of your property and perhaps design plants when visiting, we can help you with that as well.  There would be a charge for this service but we may consider giving this back to you as a credit if you purchase plants from us.  Or, if needed, we can occasionally do site visits (in our locality) where one of our staff actually visits your home and talks directly to you.  This consultation service  will guide you through your selections, garden layout and plant care.  There is a charge for this service. 

 

No matter which approach you choose, it's a great way to get your garden started.  Soon thereafter, you'll become an expert yourself.  When it comes to palms and cycads, rest assured that we have more experience with these plants than almost all garden designers or landscape architects.  That's because the plants are our business, not the hardscape others have to deal with.  We do offer local "on-site" evaluations as well where someone visits your garden and makes recommendations on the spot.

Our selection
We grow close to one thousand different species of plants, including well over 700 species of palm plants.  This includes plants from small to large, common to rare.  This is a bigger selection than almost any nursery around.  If you're thinking that's "way too much to confront", not to worry.  It's our job to slim the choices down to the right plants for you and help you select the right palm trees or cycads..  And, that's exactly what we do.  And, we have plants for all budgets.  With over 250,000 plants for sale, we can find something perfect for everyone.  Many Southern California plant brokers come to us to find the really unusual plants.  But, if we don't have what you want, we'll probably be able to refer you to some other source or find it for you!  And, if you're on a budget, we have all sizes of plants from little to big.  So, we have something for everyone. 

Friendly help
It is our goal to always offer friendly assistance and service. This is not only when we help you plan your garden and select your plants, but also when loading up your plants into your vehicle.  Or, if they are too big or there's too many of them, have us deliver them.  No matter what, our goal is for you to get you palm and cycad help for your garden and help it to be a fun and satisfying experience for you.  And, we're a valuable source of information on palm tree care.

Convenient Location
We are located about 90 minutes south of Los Angeles and 30 minutes north of San Diego in Encinitas, CA.  We are minutes off the freeway 5, a few blocks from the Ocean.  After you visit us, enjoy the beach or fine restaurants, just a few minutes away.  Click here for directions to the nursery.  

"Not ready to plant yet"?
No problem.  Are the decks not quite done?  Is the pool being finished now?  We are more than willing to hold your purchases for you (for a limited amount of time) until you are ready for them.  This gives you the time to select your plant material while the builders are working.  Then, have us deliver them right at the perfect time for planting.  

Delivery
Although there is a charge for delivery, it is available to all areas of California and to most states.  Located in Texas?  Nevada?  Just visit or call us and we can truck plants in an enclosed large delivery truck right to your sidewalk or driveway.

How to get started
 Just call us at 619 291 4605 and we'll get everything going for you.  We can chat a bit by phone and then set up an appointment for you to visit us.  If you need a consultation by one of our experts, just let us know.  (described above)   We're typically available Monday-Saturday with hours posted at this site.  Just drop by.  Hope to see you soon.
