Hey Scotty, try John's RONA head office link.
The more emails they get about needle palms, etc. the more they'll be willing to stock them...maybe throughout Canada?

Let's give RONA a shot, as John said they were agreeable and very interested in the concept.
No Lowe's here yet (heard there might be one in Alberta).
HD is everywhere, that's where I found the two 7-foot Foxtails (that I thought were Fishtails).

As I said earlier, Vernon RONA (my town) has nada, they use their GH for ... ugh .... storage. Sacrilege!!!!
Whereas the Kelowna RONA (John's and Jay's town), has their GH full to the rafters with palms and cactus etc etc. (just not a wider variety of palms).
Independent store owners can be convinced to "get on board" by their head office, no doubt. 😈

Here's John's RONA head office link again..."contact us" is at top right of page.

Please let us know if you get anywhere with the other big box stores.

I sent him off an email tonight. I'll let you know when I hear back!

We're all workin' on it...

Doubt they'll come in small, though, when they do get stocked.
