Very nice post as always Laas. Great display of the different washys over the years. Theres a better than average chance if you buy a 10+ foot tall washy from home depot down south it came from florida. I'm pretty sure I heard that filiferas rot out in florida for some reason, Don't quote me but all I've seen is robustas when I'm down there. I know mine are robustas, they were 60 bucks and 400+ pounds from a central Florida wholesaler. Not that they don't have any filifera in the Florida varieties but size = money and a 10 foot palm is more valuble than a 4 foot palm to the general public that could care less about palms. Notice the pure green on the stems of the filifera, I'll take some seeds off that bad boy some day 😀

Thanks for the post Laas,
Bill

That depends on the palm and the seller. Sabal Palmettos are retailing for $145 each no matter what size right now.

Most Filifera do not like the humidity. but you will find some that tolerate it quite well.

Thanks for the pictures.

Why do I never ever see any small Sabel Palmetto trees?

I took your advice Lazz and had a friend come out with his tractor and help me replant my Washys. Below is an updated picture from today. They seem to have somewhat stabilized.

Sorry I am late on this topic, but Laaz was 100% right on the money. After you trimm/trimmed all the leafs except for the emerging spear, you will be just fine.
