If you can't find something bigger right away, I'll have some small ones soon, which will not stay small for long.

I have one in a one gallon Steve, I'm not going to sell it, I just thought you would want to know that I have one and you don't. I mean...There is one at my house, growing in a pot, looking really good, but i'm not going to sell it, because it's mine. I'm going to plant in in the ground and watch it grow to EPIC heights. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you though mrlooney.gif

Grateful to have what I have, Les amis de mes amis sont mes amis!

Hey Steve,

Sounds like you're hot for a borinquena, which is fine, but I still have that 5 gallon princeps that wants to go home with you. Both my neighbor & I have them in the ground & they were stellar coming out of winter. So if it's the cold tolerance you're looking for, these are good ones..

----How cold tolerant Bret?

Living in the valley of the dirt people in the inland empire, "A mullet on every head and a methlab in every kitchen." If you can't afford to live in the tropics, then bring the tropics to you!

Well, maybe not repeated snow Eric; don't think it snows much in Jamaica. But mine was not touched this year by cold. Terry next door put a princeps & a borinquena about 20 feet apart in the coldest area. The princeps did fine, the borinquena died. I know this is a pretty narrow scientific slice, but you would think at least one of the three princeps would have shown some distress. Anyway, I know you're in a whole different world; I think any Roystonea will require your best micro-clime. But if you swear not to kill it, it yours..
