I'm looking for nurseries or other sources that sell Sabal palmettos, particularly in Texas. I've searched several places, but have no idea where to find one...any sources would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for replies... I found the Big Tex nursery and called them a few days ago, all they had was 30 gallon...not sure I could fit one of those in my little Ford Taurus;P Anyway, how fast do these grow? If I were to buy a couple seedlings on ebay, how long would it be before they looked like Sabals?:P I've heard conflicting information...anyone have experience growing these?

Planted mine as a 14 gallon 3 yrs ago and it only has about 1' of trunk now.
