Success
Stories ( A few of Many Hundreds we've received)
-
"We've
already been to Jungle Music twice and have purchased many palms,
but there is still so much we don't know about palms. We are
developing an interest in cycads also. We really enjoy Jungle
Music and the staff!"
A.C
& R.C., Yorba Linda, California
-
"Thanks, Phil. We're so excited that the plants are soon to be
on their way! You know, I have to say what a great job you folks
do. I appreciate the attention to details, the prompt contact, and
of course the beautiful plants. I was recently in contact with
another cycad nursery. What an absolutely rude group of
people, I was shocked. You guys are stellar, by comparison."
Thanks as always,
W.G. Texas
-
"Thank you Jungle Palms!
Even though I live in less than
"desirable" conditions for most species of palm, thanks to Jesse,
Rusty, and Phil, I've been able to create a rather lush, tropical
oasis out here in the hot/cold inland empire, CA! Their
knowledge, willingness to help, and further follow-up to ensure
proper plant placement, hydration, and light filtration, I've
managed to really shock the
neighbors with palms NOBODY around me
has! You guys all Rock! Thank you all so much! I can't wait to start
on my backyard, with more help from all
of you at Jungle Palms!
I'd recommend you to any future palm/cycad enthusiast!"
-E.
H., Southern California

"Dear
Phil, Thanks for shipping my order for the palms I wanted to add to
my collection in such an excellent manner. The plants arrived
today at my office and unless you were told they came all the way
from California to Kansas you would think they were grown right here
in the Midwest, an indication of how well your staff packages the
plants for shipment. As you know my taste runs toward the more
exotic and tropical specimens and the ones you have provided me are
flourishing, a testimony to the quality conditions where they were
propagated and nurtured. I look forward to ordering others in
the future."
J.M.
D.D.S., Topeka, Kansas
-
"Phil-keep
up the great work. You and Jesse are doing a fantastic job of
keeping an extensive inventory of the rarest palms and cycads along
with the more common species that beginning collectors and
landscapers are looking for. I appreciate being able to send
friends by your nursery and knowing that they will be well taken
care of and impressed with the quality and selection."
H.H.,
Houston, Texas
-
"Jesse,
hello!! My wife, daughter and myself dropped by this past weekend,
and I just want to thank you again for your great service. I
am going to start terracing my hillside, in which I call my
backyard, to make room for more trees!! I'll be back to
see you in a few weeks to pick-up another load, maybe even the
weekend of the upcoming open house. Thanks again for making my
dream a reality!!"

CUSTOMER, & you now have my return business & referrals, for
I'll be buying cycads in the future ONLY from your firm, your
service far exceeds the others I've done business with."

(During an Open
House) "your staff made us all feel welcome, and
invited us over to share in the spread ... I
heard from others that took the time to wander through Jungle
Music that they really enjoyed the double-header -- our meeting
at The Monarch Program, and your Open House at Jungle Music!
So a quick but
heartfelt THANK YOU to you and Jungle Music - you make the word
"community" come to life.

Marisa

so quickly, didn't expect that... Just thought I'd try. ABSOLUTELY
LOVE YOUR PHOTO GALLERY.
THANK YOU!"

- Phil,
"It
was a wonderful experience to be in your nursery last Saturday.
Never
seen
so many palms and cycads in one place. It was an aha moment for me.
I
really wished i had the money to buy everything - kind of went crazy
seeing
all the plants."
Joseph, CA
-
Phil,
"I just received my nine or so boxes of palms!
Wow! They all arrived in superior condition. You
exceeded my expectations in the quality you sent, especially with
the Kentias!.... Thanks again, and once I find a more space to
shoe horn some more unusual specimens in to my landscape or in
planters, you will be hearing from me."
T.T., Houston, TX

Phil and his employees grow awesome plants. I
have bought several things from Phil and will continue to do so. His
plants are very healthy and can be nice sized if you spend the time
to look around. I would recommend Jungle Music to anyone.
N.O.,
Encinitas, CA
-
The best hands down. Phil and Jesse grow great plants, good prices(
an overgrown 5 gal is still a 5 gal price). Take time to answer any
questions. Also just a great place to hang out and talk palms,
cycads or whatever with a great crew. First class all the way.
SG, San Marcos, CA
-
Phil has a mind boggling selection of plants that are in great
health with a good selection of sizes. To top it off, the staff that
he has is knowledgeable and very accommodating willing to spend the
time to make sure you find what you are looking for.
DL, Southern CA

I
live in the San Antonio, Texas area.
I ordered 3 palms on a Thursday, and received them 2 days
later (Saturday) I anxiously opened the boxes to find the three
palms in perfect condition, and, to my surprise, a
Nannorrhops
Ritchiana band for free.
You
even called to make sure I got the items.
Thanks for the great service.
A.C., Texas

I tell my wife that visiting your site I'm like a kid in a candy
store!
When I look at your web page and being the palm and
tropical plant nut that I am I look at it as the ONLY source to go
to for not only buying plants, but for information.....very in depth
information about what you sell in every detail.
I'm not
going to lie, but when I have an issue with a plant at home I will
look on your site for a possible answer(like for my Kentia) Most
sites aren't like yours, maybe because their only interest is in
selling plants and not providing the personal service that you do.
That means a lot to people now a days and what sets your website and
business far apart from the others
S.S.,
Omaha, NE
-
I
want to let you know how exceptional the Jungle Music plants are;
they put to shame what I see at other nurseries. Your crew does a
great job in caring for and ensuring the delivery of the plants.
Also the amount of information available on your website makes it
really easy for me to make selections with the confidence the result
will work out right at maturity. Thanks again for a great shopping
experience. I hope I can be a good steward for the plants you have
taken such good care of. N.Y., CA
-
I am very happy with my purchase of plants, and I thoroughly enjoyed
my time spent at the nursery. I love my new plants, and the education
about how to take care of them. I love your nursery and will of course
pass along the good word to friends and family. Once again, thank you
for your knowledge and assistance. Once I move into my new apartment,
I will be seeing you for some more plants.
T.F., Southern CA
