When I ordered what I ordered, I asked for a Taitungensis with a little bit of trunk (knowing I would have to pay BIG $$ for a fat, tall trunk) 2 Dioon Spinulosum a Nove Wilailik and a Rumphii, I thought I would have to spend BIG BIG BIG $$$.
After my conversation with him on the phone, and the price, I thought i would be geting some nice things....
WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not going to tell you how much the order was, but it WAS under $100 INCLUDING SHIPPING!
I got 10 Taitungensis seeds as an "extra".
I got a Nova Wilailik that has a Men's Softball size caudex.
I got 2 Dioon Spinulosum, both with Mes's Softball size caudex
I got a Rumphii that is a baseball size caudex.
But my Taitungensis is ummm, how do I say this.......UN GODLY HUGE!!!!!!
When he wrote me to tell me that he sent it and I would be getting them, he told me that it had a "13" trunk. So I am thinking a trunk kinda like those King Segos at WalMart that are tall but skinny. NO, this is at least TWO FEET TALL and it is as big around as my leg. ABSOLUTY HUGE!!!!!
I will say this, if you are looking to buy cycads or Dioons and you do not give him a call, you are CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!
I'll try to get photos of these tonight or tomorrow.
