I like getting packages in the mail, especially when they are this size 😀

Unwrapping, (nicely packed for shipping, all the fronds arrived intact)

All set in their new homes 8)

Hi Wes,
Yes, these are D.edules, and from Living Fossil Nursery, http://shop.vendio.com/coontie57

With most of mine in the seedling stage, it's nice to have a couple larger ones now 8)

a Ah yes. I got some great stuff from him too. However half of the trees had broken roots so I had to call Chumley to ask how to take care of that. With his help, I now have a nice Wially flush and a nice Petrea flush starting.
Coontie has great stuff and a very affordable prices. THey are good folks to deal with.

Wes,
They are good folks to deal with! Thankfully, this year I haven't had any problems with mangled boxes.
Last year 2 or 3 boxes came in, (from different nurseries), that looked like someone drove over them 👿

I'm doing all my shipping USPS now, and no problems at all 8)

Dean,
Thanks! Hoping to get at least one flush out of them this year.
