Nursery Stock levels down?
Our local nursery chain used to have many many palms in stock at this time of year.
One of my fav places to go during gloomy winter days, wandering around their GH.
Dropped in the other day to see what I could buy with my Christmas gift certificate.
Apart from the Trachies in the background of pic 2, this is all the palms they had!
Mexican Fan Palm and European Fan Palm

The clerk said they'd be getting more palms "likely in April or May"...
Oh...and the price? $300.00 each.
Too rich for my gift certificate!
What a disappointment.

John, yup Knapps in Vernon.
Those trachies aren't as big as they appear.
They're sitting on the second shelf, can't remember price.
The first pic is the Mexican Fan Palm, the second the European Fan Palm (according to each label, anyway).
I may have to make a trip back to their subsidiary in your area, John.

It's always nice to visit a greenhouse in winter. I'm sure stocks are down since economy is not very robust. You'll need to purchase a couple $300 palms to keep their business going!

Barb, if you are making a choice the first one (a silver one) would be more preferable. Or pick up a smallest if they have any

Agreed.Nice looking palms just way overpriced.
Those were the only palms they had, other than the Trachies (which I don't need...have enough!)pick up a smallest if they have any
I'd love that blue one, but $300 is way too rich for my gift certificate.
Might end up having to buying annuals with it...
I love the smell of the air in GHs during winter...nice to visit a greenhouse in winter

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
