Where the T. radiatas

I love tall radiatas, and there are a ton over there. It is a symbol of old Florida. There is one with about 20 feet of wood in Matlacha next to an old bar.

The first order for specimen palms I ever had was for some radiata that were 45' tall. I eventually found them! :winkie: They still live at Bal Harbuor Shops.

If you don't mind me asking, what were they valued at? For such a slow grower, I'd imagine they were expensive.

I like the look of the very tall T. radiatas a lot. There are some good sized ones at Selby gardens in Sarasota, maybe 20 to 30 feet. They had some very wide growth rings though, so I suspect they get supplemental watering and fertilization, which I hear speeds them up

I too would love to know how much a palm like that would set one back!

I also love the T. Radiatas at Selby Gardens. Those things sure are beautiful!
