They arrived in very good shape with only 1 small frond broken off of the Chamerops. Attached are pics of them including the boxes they were shipped in.
I feel like a proud Papa.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps

Looks like you're off to the races now Allen. I've yet to stop by Larry Cole's place (Tropi-cole Trading) and he's only a short drive down Island. I guess I'm afraid to.
Good luck with your new palms!
Cheers, Barrie.

Thanks.
I am hoping to come out to the Island next year. I hope to be able to look at your place as well as Larry's and Wes's.

Nice specimens, Allen.
Tell Bob the cat to 😆 crap on something cheaper.
Nice shipping containers...looks like they took good care with packaging.
Your palms will look good up against that new stucco.
Look forward to new pics after planting.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Once I started trying to find a relatively painless way to fertilize the Chamaerops, I found that there are 3 trunks with inflorescences. Are these male or female?
Thanks
