John,
Amazing collection, in and out of the ground. I can't believe the variety 8) ! Some really cool species. I'm definitely heading to the Okanagan with some cash this spring. Thanks for the pics!

I really like B.Eriospatha,mine has taken 3 years to get established
but has been one tough palm,repeatedly seeing 20F(maybe lower)
all last winter and has never pulled in 3 years!
Knock on wood 😕

Thanks Duncan. How are your Yuccas doing? See you in the spring. Jim good news about Butia e. not having spear pull. That is half the battle keeping them alive through the winter. How big was it when you planted it?

Jubea. Thanks for sharing those pics of your Butias. It`s tough to tell at their young age what type you have. Very nice Bismarkia nobilis juvenile as well in the pics.

Mike I don`t have a business website. I sell palm trees and bananas on the weekend during spring and summer. I have sign I put up on the road for advertising. I only have two of the Brahea armata, and four Butia eriospatha. I have a ton of pure W.filifera for sale if you are interested? Tim we have a double car garage which has never been used for cars. 😆

Wow!
What do you do for supplemental light in the winter?
