Coconuts at Lowes

I was wondering if 299.99 was a good price for 12 to 14 foot coconuts. Lowes in Riverview FL has some for sale that are quite large. The root ball is wrapped at the bottom and is big. Some even have fruit on them and all have flowers. Seems like a steal to me. One could have a mature, fruiting coconut for around 300 USD as long as they own a flatbed truck and some other heavy machinery to plant it  :)

Down here in South Florida, coconuts cost generally around  $10-15 per foot overall. Thats wholesale. So take it from there.

Bill-

$300 for one that size is about normal retail IMO.

You might contact Rob Pittman as hes right around the corner from you in Ruskin. I believe he has Coconuts for alot less.  He also may still have a few Maypans kicking around (which are far superior to the more typical Malayans IMO).  I wanted to buy a monster Maypan he had, but I physically couldnt get it home in my father's truck!   This palm had a base that made a Green Malayan trunk look like that of a Chamaedorea.
