Heading out to clearwater FL tomm for a vacation and was just wondering if anyone had any good greenhouse, must see palm sellers things like that in the general area. I am planning on driving alot once I get there to see if I can run across anything good enough to send home.

I have no good input, but I hope you enjoy yourself and post many pics on the forum. 😀

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.

Heck, I was stunned about what I saw at regular Home Depots for cheap when I was in Orlando last year.
Never did find any good nurseries around that area.

I was brain dead on my trip. Saw lots of cool stuff at the Home Depot, all for under $20 but didn't know how to get it home since I flew. Then of course when I got home and thought I should have located a UPS store and had stuff simply shipped home. Duh!

Yes, please take lots of photos wherever you go.
Anything down south will be eye candy.
Have fun.

Oh the palm pics I have! Just collected some fresh seeds from a monster bizzy. Most of the palms here are canary island dates..fox tails..Alexander's and saw palmettos. There are all other types but those are most common it is zone 10b so anything will grow...bizzy a around a bit as well. Will post pics when I return

I'm mailing a box home with a small bottle palm and a small foxtail..both I got for 8.99 lol. The 16 ft ones were only 99.99! I also harvested a wild bunch of bananas so they will go with the bizzy seeds in the box. One thing I have noticed is that almost every palm is in flower but finding seed isn't easy. Either the landscapers clean them up or squirrels eat them idk but finding seeds is few and far between. There are a lot of Pygmy dates in flower and not one seed to be found. I have been to every lowes and hd in the area and I am disappointed. These selection of palms is great size and price but the selection of tropicals is poor. No elephant ears no bananas none of that for sale..they do have some really cool croton bush but other than that a bust. Hitting some nurseries today but there aren't many of those either...more when I return
