where exactly was this? I am going to FLA the first of June and I plan on mailing a few things home :D...a 10 ft washy for 150..I would have the back yard full in no time.

I like the way you think 😆

chadec, those are unbelievably cheap prices for great palms. 😯
And look at the small Washy rootballs!!! 😯

Our HD has nada, zilch, nil, zippo 😥

Total eye candy.

This was at Myrtle beach. I have family here, if only they visited more often....
You know since I dont have any washys 2 of those 12$ ones are coming home. Theres another place selling sabals for 65$. They are in 7 gallon pots with 2 or 3 trunks. But I am holding off, because I want a date palm. Its been 2 yrs since my lowes carried sylvester palms. Last year they had a sucky selection.

Last year they had a sucky selection.

Can you place an order with your store and ask them to bring them up for you from the sister store?
Trucks are always back and forth, and big box stores sometimes will do that.

Years ago while visiting Vancouver Island, I saw a gorgeous iron trellis marked down to a ridiculously-low price at Wal Mart.
I asked if they'd ship it to my local Wal Mart, and they said yes. 😀
Paid for it on the spot, received phone call it arrived a week later.

Worth a shot.

I wonder if they would ship it to Plainfield Indiana? if I can get dirt cheap palms nothing but a great thing.

Barb, its definitely worth a shot. I have tried to order things on line and it tell me its not available at my store. But that might work. Wish lowes had their palms already. They always have a better selection.

Washys and Butia looked like a good enough deal....

I guess if you want the big Washys...you have to pay extra for the roots!

Chad

Are you home now?

Did your "Takil" arrive?

Leaving tomorrow, if its there I will post a pic. Dont laugh, you know Tony sells very small plants. Just picked up a dioon edule and a sabal texana.

its definitely worth a shot

Try to talk to a (friendly) salesperson; someone with some authority.
Juniors just say "gee I don't know..." and walk away, never come back. 😆

Will look forward to seeing photos of your new stuff.

Barb

What great stuff. It would be so hard to walk away from that and not buy anything. When I was in Orlando last spring Home Depot had $14 Bottle Palms (about 3 ft high) Never gave a thought to buy them, and some others and simply take to UPS and have them shipped home. Won't make that mistake again. It will be hard to visit San Diego next year and tour Jungle Music and not have "something" I pick out shipped back.

Barb, I got what I wanted from HD. Never found a date palm. Bought some nice stuff from a small nursery however 😀

Sashaeffer, the only thing I might regret is not buying that serenoa repens silver. But I can always pick it up in a few months. I have to be careful sIhipping home without a phyto.

I tried the whole " ship it to my store" thing at Lowes and it was a no go. They said they only have so many stores in there range..mine only reached to southern tennessee..and anything past that they can't do a store to store transfer...theres a bit more clever than we give them credit or those 10 ft washys would be on the way already 😀 . I can't wait to hit clearwater in June..Really how many people get excited about a vacation so they can go to lowes and home D out of there area to buy palms 🙄

I was just on a holiday to Arizona and I stopped into a Lowes and like you, they had all kinds of big palms and cheap!!! Also had a great selection of Agave, Yucca and cactus but I live in Canada so it was only a dream. It was nice to see though.

but I live in Canada so it was only a dream.

Yeah, doesn't that kill you seeing all that?
Welcome home Keith.

sIhipping home without a phyto.

You need a phyto to ship state to state????? 😯
Thought it was US --> Canada for a phyto.

Or maybe I don't know where you went on your honeymoon 😆

ship it to my store" thing at Lowes and it was a no go

Too bad.
Hope you weren't trying for 10 foot palms 😆 that's pushing the store transfer thingy...kind of. 😆
