I am new so I am tryin this out. Anyway, I just happen to be out the other day buying a T. Fortunei and this greenhouse had a bunch of really big triangle palms. They don't advertize them on thier website but they are there. I think it was $200.00 and it was at least 8 feet.

Maybe this will help.

Super trachy...how old is it?
Nice to see that your son already loves plants.
Without losing your anonymity...(trying to figure out) "Arctic Palm" and "Southern Canada" 🙄
Can you narrow it down...just a bit please?

HAHAHa,
A while back I was talking to some people in FLorida about growing palms here...and they asked how I could grow palms in the arctic. So I liked that handle. I live in Southern Ontario, near lake erie. I just thought it was typical of Floridians.
I am just jealous of them!!!!

Man, aren't we all jealous of Floridians?
On second thought...who wants to mow a lawn for 12 months? 😉

Lucky1,
I think I could handle mowing a lawn rather then shoveling tons of snow.
My trachy is about 3 or 4, I was told. I really like it. I have tried to get a bigger one but no one but with no luck...hard to come by larger ones. Botanix has some larger ones so I may have to go there again.

Hey Arctic Palm,
There's a guy on this site (somewhere) named Ryan from Ontario who's got great palms at great prices.
I can't remember which thread included his website.
We were babbling and probably off topic. I can't find it. 😥

I know Ryan. I have already bought plants form him. Very nice fellow. Really seems to know what he is doing. Its corollatropicals.ca.
I am waiting for some of his royal palms. I love slender single trunk palms. Cuban, king, christmas, ones like that.
Thanks.

Oh, of course it was corollatropicals! You think I'd remember the beer part, ha. 😕
Thanks for the reminder.
I'm sure Ryan will do well with his site.

They have small ones at a local Rona for $6.99. A great deal.
