Looking to buy a King Kong Palm in the St Petersbug/Tampa Bay area. Anyone selling this or knows where to purchase this? Not looking for seeds. Thanks in advanced.

I don't know if he still has them, but @Mike Evans at West Coast Tropicals had them listed a while back.

I thought Mike retired and no longer has his nursery. Is he back in the business?

You might be right.  Last time I heard he was selling all of his stuff off.  I might just be a little behind the times.  I haven't talked to him since December 2018.

Lol I haven’t purchase from him since 2018 as well. He lives about 10 minutes from me. I purchased 80% of all palms from him. 

I am currently in the market of purchasing exotic palm trees again and have not found anyone like him. He was very passionate at what he does.
