Free large Potted bottle palm Hudson Florida

Recommended Posts

I saw this palm outside the Hudson Do It Best Hardware in the Hudson Square Plaza.  While it has heavy freeze damage the center two spears are very green and such. I went inside to warn an employee it would probably die if left outside and is already looking bad, and they told me i could take it. Sadly I am unable to take the palm as it is too large for my already mostly filled van so I thought I would post it here in hopes it can find a new home, it has about 4 fest of clear trunk, and the employees gave me permission to tell people.  If you do decide to get it, just warn the employees inside so they don't think you are stealing it. I would really hate to see this large bottle go to waste.

Yeah man, would love to see it get a chance to grow and thrive. If nobody can take it, I have found a possible person to give it too in a place near Venice where i will be heading in a couple days.

Went up and took a look today.  It's a bit bigger than it looks.  Definitely wasn't going to fit comfortably into either of my vehicles.  it's still available if anyone wants it.  It has some new growth coming out of the crown, but it has a long way back to recovery.

I did go in and get a new garden sign out of the deal though.20210206_104820_ParadiseSign.thumb.jpg.a7d531a8f3212810beedffa44def9268.jpg
