New Larger than it look Adonidia
After recieving palms from another Kansasan, my collection went from 2 to 11 for a total of 9 species.
After looking up all the names on google to figure out exactly what I now have I had to go buy a larger
specimen of one that I was sent to show the little guys what they had to aim for , but the real killer
was it was just shy of $50.
The plant and pot stand about 8' to the tallest leaf. Now I just need to get a nice pot.

I bought it at Family Tree Nursery in Overland Park Map
I didn't see another one of these with a sale tag, but they had a Foxtail Palm on sale, but it looked a little rough. The also had a few Spindle palms for $40 but they were closer to 3'-4' with the pot. I really like this nursery, great plants, but you have to look for sale items if your cheap like me. They also had some huge Sago's but they want $250 for the one I looked at. I will try and take a camera next time I go, but I usally on get there once every 6 months.
As for the snake hunting, I can't this weekend, I will be heading to Wichita.

I stop by there once a month (or so) when I'm out on calls. It is a great place , but they are very pricey. Every now and then they'll put a palm on a closeoput price and you can pick up a great deal, and that, my friend, looks like a good deal.I have not been there for a few motnhs, looks like a should stop by more often.
Suburban Lawn and Garden at 135th and State Line has a nice selection of palms sometimes, but most everything (even small stuff) is over $200 per palm. High priced for sure.

Thanks guys,
I hate paying $$$ for plants, but figure you have to sometimes to get what you want.
I like to visit the nurserys just to see the plants, and try and keep from bring a lot of things home.
Suburban has nice prices on the larger trees, I have been wanting to head out that way again to look for some nice pines to help kill the wind across my back yard.

well I stopped by the nursery today after lunch and took a few pics for you wes- following are pics of a spindle (pic 1) and a triangle (pic 2) they have for sale. Both are probably 3 over foot tall and both look good.
I think the spindle was $39.99 and the triangle was $69.99 but you can call Family Tree Nursery 913 642 6503
to verify. I did not see a foxtail.
They have a pretty decent selection of palms in right now, ie. nice sized majesty's, kentias and some bamboo palm, a couple of nice sized mediterranean fan palm, a phoenix roebillini (maybe 6' tall for $200). Thats about all I remember
Anything else, let me know.

I stopped by Sunrise Greenhouse maybe 2 months ago and they had very few palms, nothing liek the selection you are showing. I didn't ask anyone for palm trees I was just wasting time before a call and just wandered through. I guess I may have to go back just to check it out. Thanks for the pics Ben.
