This is the kind of bargain that you can find there at times. I'm still kicking myself for not buying at least one of their trachycarpus fortunei last year. They had about twenty that were quite large (like way over my head) for 99 bucks which is about the price we pay for 4 foot specimens. I would have had to rent a truck but it would have been worth it to have palms of that size. Oh well, mine continue to grow...someday. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-60748371479235870572014-04-29T11:15:47.393-07:002014-04-29T11:15:47.393-07:00It is a great discovery!
