Its a great needle palm taken in july but It will not look as nice but It should survive the fourth winter. Every winter had freezing rain damage and 100 mph wind damage. We had a voilent storm with winds 98 mph to atleast 101 gusts. The dry cold does not damage it. it survived -26C with protection. Can I get one at the home depot?

Needle palms sure can take the cold but are hard to find. I don't think Home Depot will carry them. 🙁 You can always check. You might have to try to get them from a mail order nursery or if you know someone who grows them for sale. Keep us posted when you find some. 😀

If you want to buy a needle, may I advise "Plant Delights".
I bought a Hystrix (Needle), Takil & Fortunei from them. Very reasonable price. When I got my Takil, it was dry due the soil fell out in shipping. I called them and they sent out a brand new one.
Best cusomer sevice I have dealt with and the trees all are thriving now after potting.
I might advise if you want a Sabal Minor, I would say get with "Desert Zone" here on this board. He sent me one (I still owe him $$ for it) and so far it is doing just fine.

I went to the nursery but he said the could grow in this climate if protected. I will have to wait till spring end of march he said.He said they are rare but he does have some coming.Price should be 18$ for a medium sized one.Home depot he said will have unhardy ones. In our climate we have a long wait before the come.So I dont need to order seeds because he get 100 palms at his nursery only the hardy ones that grow here like Hystrix takil fortunei. I could order them of one of the sites you said kansas for not much waiting. When I get one I will let you both know 🙂 Sabal minor should do good here and good advice
from both of you.I dont think they would trunk like Vancouver maybe 7 or 6 cm trunk. Vancouver palms have trunks 3 metres high. I dont mind dry cold I do know that freezing rain flash freeze are palm killers of not protect. we have a very stormy winter. Heres a picture of the storm 72 mph winds

They sell Rhapidophyllum hystrix out here on the B.C. south coast, but they are very expensive. I have a couple of them in my garden. I picked up a 7 gallon Needle a few years ago, but it was very pricey. The largest they had were crated specimens at nearly a $1,000. The place is Casino Tropicals south of Vancouver. Palm Society members get a bit of a break. Joe

Joe my cheque is in the mail to PNWPS tommorow. I would like to know how old those crated Rha. hystrix would be from Casino tropicals. Do they also sell smaller 3 to 5gal needle palms?
Thanks in advance ,John 8)

They will be hard to get in my climate but they will cost less because of my harsher climate then southren bc. The palms in bulgaria should be hardy to zone 5b I can try to get a trachycarpus Fortunei. Last time The nursery sold 4 but I did not know those palms could grow here.But I should get a unrare hardy palm. I will try to find others. They can get expensive here to.Thanks

Yuccaman, what is the name of Harvey's Nursery and where is it?

Thx
Phil

There is a new guy now not named harvey but dont know the new guys name it by trenton and brighton by railroad tracks you should find a big greenhouse. It was harvey in december.No palms or yuccas there yet.
