I can't pass a Lowe's or Home Depot now without checking out the tropical dept and seeing if there are anything new or good deals and have discovered that most of the box stores are now getting in their Christmas plants, Norfolk Pines, and what they call "Holiday Tropicals"(Majesty palms with glitter)Anyway to make room, have seen prices slashed on what they have had left over and bought yet another Pygmy Date Palm for $5 and a new palm for the collection a Spindle palm for $9. All of the Spindles actually had 3 palms per 3 gallon pot so will separate when it is healthier.Also, friend of mine who works at one of the Lowe's here said they are going to be closing some locations around the country due to the economy, so might see some further clearance stuff to get rid of. I would assume after Christmas. Sad to hear about really.Scott/Omaha

Heck, I'd sleep in the parking lot waiting for them to open if my box store did that... Barb

Barb, do you have a spare space for increasing "palm population" in you house?

I used to have space...until I germinated a box of Foxtail (Wodyetia) seeds that are now in 2 gallon pots.
One day I'll count all the plants. 😆

Difficult to pass up a Box Store palm at a deep discount price, though.
Especially when you know you can "save it" from a lingering death under the Box Store's "care".

Here are two pics of my recent purchases.

The first one shows the caudex size of the C. revoluta (with a pop can for scale 😆 ):

The next pic is showing the $6 B. recurvata. There are actually 3 caudexes in here, but I don't think they can be separated yet:

Scott very nice price for the palms you bought. Spindle palms are easy to grow overwintering inside. Cameron that is a beautiful huge Cycad for the price and quality. The seller has a green thumb. It is amazing how quickly you can accumulate plants at rock bottom prices. 😆
