I have been shopping with Sago Rey for 12 years. I built my first home in 2003 and landscaped my whole yard(front and back) in palms, cycads, and olives. I purchased many of my palms from outside of the area(San Diego and Los Angeles) before discovering Sago Rey. After meeting Maria and walking around the grounds I had a new favorite place to visit, and shop for palms and cycads. The thing about bringing palms from San Diego and Los Angeles to the valley, is they are not acclimated to our area, the heat is as big a factor as the cold. By buying here, the plants have been proven to tolerate both. Also, I could buy larger trees because I didn’t have to haul them several hundred miles and over the Grapevine. I had 76 varieties of palms and around 25 different cycads on my property before I sold it. Around a third of my plant stock came from Sago Rey. 2 to 3 times a year when I would visit, they always loaded my truck and trailer, tied the leaves together, and sent me on my way as well packed as possible to make the trek down the 99. So, in 2012 with my new home, it was more of the same. Off to Sago Rey. It had been 2 years since I’d been there. I was sad to learn Sago Rey(Tom) had recently passed away. He was such a wealth of information, and just a great guy to chat with. Maria, his wife, was still running things. I’m so glad for her and her love of the business, and all things palm related. She is a joy to work with and I again find myself neck deep in palms and cycads thanks to her and all the people that work with her. Thank you!
