Is there a chance of Caryota Gigas/Obtusa seedlings from your monster palms?  I'm also looking for smaller Arenga Pinnata, Attalea Cohune, Allagoptera Arenaria and Acrocomia Aculeata, among others.  Just throwing that out in the off chance you have some suitable for sale!

MB Palms has Allagoptera and Caryota obtusa, maybe Arenga pinnata. I'm not sure about the others.

I picked up a nice Allagoptera Arenaria, a young Attalea Cohune and an interesting Chamaedoria Metallica, along with 2 Livistona Speciosa seedlings from the Leu Booth.  It was nice meeting you Eric!

Nice meeting you, glad you could make it! Nice meeting/seeing everone who stopped by. It was a great sale, over 16,000 people came over the 2 days. It was perfect weather and most vendors had little or no plants left.
