no not a 10 ft palm. Just some small 1 and 3 gallon palms and they still said no. Guess they know what we are up 2 already.
as far as I know state to state dosen't need a cert. just in/out of the country. I do remember one time a few years ago there was a agraculture stop comming out of FLA to check and see if you were removing any native plants but that was the only real thing I can remember. I think the US is about as lacks as it gets on plant laws.

Somes states do require phytos. I remember the shipping on a bismarkia from jungle music cost more than the palm. The phyto was 35$. Ebay sellers get around it by shipping bare root.
I doubt I would ever buy a large palm like those and plant so far out of zone. I would have to many concerns about it making its first winter. Considering they have no roots. Smaller ones are easy to protect until they acclimate.

Phil at Jungle Music does check on state to state phytos. He had no issue with Oklahoma, but he will check and follow the law to the letter and spirit.
As for me, planning another March driving trip to Texas. 😆

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.
