Well, darn, I got lost in this puzzle somehow, but I did find Cleveland TX on the map, and sounds like a nice burb outside of Houston. Also near the Trinity wildlife preserve and sounds close to nature. It will be interesting to see this process continue from A to Z.

here is a hint as to where these palms are going.

I thought they were going to screen out a cheap cosmetics plant somewhere... :P

I cant wait to get these to my place and start seeing the design come to fruition. The tall washys will be placed in amongst some hugh magnolias that are growing around our pond. Our 200ft drive will be lined with sabals, the different Phoenix sp. will be background plantings and some canopy, the butias and braheas will make some nice group plantings and I have two 12ft mules for the front of the house. We also have 100 silver saws and needles for understory plantings. I have been searching for decumbens for a while so I'm jazzed that Tad could provide some. This is a dream come true.

No pressure huh. I ended up with a backhoe, I hope that will handle the washys and the monster butia lying on the ground here waiting for your loving touch to plant. If not call me ??? It doesnt look like your crew has slept much the last week either.

it would be ideal, any chance it has a hook welded to the bucket? rentals never have hooks welded to the bucket, why is that?

Very nice David, and nice score on the 12 ft mules. I can't wait to see some pics of them...Hell I can't wait to see them all planted. I hope one of those trees don't fall off here in Houston on the way ;)

I hope to keep this momentum all thru spring and into summer, the week after next its 5000 cuttings to stick in the new house, and I am going to try and do some wamin bamboo as well. also need to find 5000 washie one gallons to fill order for another grower!
