About Our Owner

John Fredrick Newell

Berkie Palms was established in 1998 by John Newell. It grew out of his passion for the tropical landscape and a perceived need to grow and supply palms, cycads, bromeliads and foliage plants, sun grown and acclimatised for the more temperate and sub-tropical areas of NSW. John is a Veterinarian and combines his love of animals and nature, creating a unique nursery with a wide range of tropicals, including many advanced palms and cycads suitable for commercial landscapes. He has lived at Eleebana for more than 40 years and the nursery is a life’s work. He is happy to share his knowledge with tropical enthusiasts or those just wanting a tropical garden.
