Thanks to Jeff Marcus and his amazing packaging I received my order today, everything is awesome and some of the 4" pots the palms huge in. Potting them up today, some are big enough to go right in the ground.

This is temporary housing until they get bigger. Most will eventually go in the ground.

How do you keep rats and squirrels from ravaging your collection? Surely that looks like Old Country Buffet to them. :D

Looks great, I have gotten 2 orders from Jeff over the past years and been very happy with the size and quality of the plants.

2 cats seem to keep them at bay. Now the mangos, the squirrels ravage them.

yep, always get plants way bigger then expected. Some of the 4" pots have plants that look like gallon or better, proof of just how well things grow in HI.

When I bought my property it was infested with fire ants. Had no irrigation and was dry sunny and pure white sand.  Any place you put in a shovel out would come the little f'ers. Now with a tropical jungle and irrigation I have zero fire ants with no use of poison.

Ummmmmm...you're supposed to text me these things... :rolleyes:^_^ Sweet haul!!

 

I love seeing folks' Floribunda orders! They're eye candy! I don't think I've done one since last fall. Feelin' about due but waiting for them to get some new species. :yay:

Naples (inland), FL - technically 10a but more like 9b in the winter :hmm:
