The Palm and Cycad Exchange
Purpose:
Palm and Cycad Exchange is for palm and cycad growers and collectors in the Southern California area who wish to
buy and sell plant material. It is designed primarily to be a forum to help sellers locate buyers, and buyers
locate sellers. Palm and Cycad Exchange can service the customer who wishes to buy or sell an individual plant, a
collection, or an entire nursery. Due to security concerns, sellers and buyers may prefer to remain anonymous.
This site provides for the confidential transaction between buyer and seller. Only the site operator and personnel
shall know the identities of the participants. The site operator shall arrange actual exchange of funds and plant
material for all transactions. Occassionally, additional exotic plants may be listed on this website.
Requirements for Sale:
All plants must be potted or boxed. Any plants in the ground must be potted or boxed and re-established prior to
listing. Date of transplant, if within the last twelve months, must be disclosed.

Delivery:
It shall be the duty of the seller to deliver the plants to a prescribed location by appointment, and it shall be
the duty of the buyer to pick up the plants at the prescribed location by appointment. If this is impossible,

Disclosures:

Every effort shall be made to deal exclusively with the legitimate owners or their agents of all plant material listed for sale.

Palm and Cycad Exchange shall cooperate fully with any investigation that may arise.
