The specimen palms you want in the quantities you need

Our Experienced Staff

What makes our trees so special? In large part it is the people we work with! Our tireless staff has over 100 years of combined experience working with palm trees, and as a result, we have gained a loyal following of clients who appreciate how we care for and nurture our trees. Through decades of experience we have determined the best species of tropical plants to grow in our coastal communities.

Jack Stevenson

FOunder & PResident

A legend in his own time, Jack Stevenson is responsible for the introduction of many new species of palm trees into commercial cultivation. He established Sea Crest Nursery in 1976 after he purchased 17 acres of oceanfront property in Santa Barbara. He propagated unusual palms in greenhouses around Claremont, CA and grew those trees to full size at Sea Crest Nursery.
