There is a seller on eBay that has at least one available every week. He does 24hr auctions and turns out a new availability every evening. For the past few months, specimens are in the 1gal pot size, with the palm being around a 1’ in height, most are variegated form. There’s been a couple times where large all green forms have been available, but it hasn’t been too often.

FULL DISCLOSURE...these are not photos of my palms, nor did I take these photos.  They are the result of a quick google search. 

Variegated photo is Leu Gardens, pretty sure courtesy of @Eric in Orlando

So why does it seem the green is the better choice ?

The green form tends to perform better in full all day sun than the variegated which burns more easily especially in hot dry sun.

Agree w/ Jim..  If you were closer, or perhaps when you might be in the area.. i'd suggest spending sometime at Kopsick Palmatium in St. Pete.  The collection has a few standard green Foxies, and a Variegated specimen whose crown receives full sun. In all the years i have observed it, fronds on the variegated spec. are always burnt to some degree. Not all that attractive, imo once at that stage.  Regular 'ol green specimens always look flawless.

Yup, and that’s why 100% green go for more $$

There is a variegated one on ebay right now ends in 21 hours

I bought one like that on eBay recently and it will eventually be planted in a shady/partially sunny area of the garden. My big green one enjoys full sun however and is the fastest growing palm in my landscape and I have hundreds of palms in the ground. I’m super impressed by these.

Now correct me if I am wrong is it true that even the green ones will spit out some variation in its life span ?

Never observed even hints of varigation on any of the solid green specimens i have seen in both FL. or CA. )  That being said, every specimen can be different so there is a chance a few might..

John looks wonderfull even with the blonde on the tips as your does and it’s in full sun and looks great so that why I ask how can you say full green when every single green one I have seen still has a few variation I don’t know just my observation

Not full green. Full greens do not have any variegation.

David, I assure you that is the light playing tricks on you. That palm is 100% solid dark healthy green. There are no light colored green leaves and zero variegation. You are more than welcome to come have a look first hand.

So my question would be if this palm is mostly green will it do well in full sun 

image.thumb.png.eb34bd0b2af145fdb2e4165da90b0ca0.pngI see some true variegation in those lower leaves.

Did not notice the variegation earlier but as Jim pointed out, on the lower leaf there it is.

Exactly I believe even the green form has some at some point I saw a mature green form produce some variation. I think it’s better classifies as mostly green or mostly variegated that’s my conclusion

There is full green and mostly green. I have a couple of completely green ones in my yard and there isn’t a bit of variegation
