    Bravo!

    Yep - I had 1000 seedlings with the plan being to help put Dorian through college. Anyone who has grown palms knows the plan doesn't always pan out - little things like freezes and market conditions. :( Not to mention labor, pots/soil, fertilizer, and water. I lost half when still in liners during one freeze. And when I started, I think Howeas were going for about $125-$175/ft. But they are still one of my favorite palms for ease of growth, ease to transplant, and beauty.

    What a great score for your garden

    Plenty of rootball for a good recovery after transplant .

    Nice score! Water them well and dont be surprised to see them burn for the first year. I bought some in full sun from a more coastal grower and planted them only a few miles inland in Vista and they still burned.

    Its early days yet, but I dug 2 with 2ft and 4 ft trunk respectively one year ago when they were clearing a neighbours yard. I put them in large 40" pots and watered very heavily. Then 1 month ago I planted them. They are doing well and pushing leaves. The weather has been consistently in the 30C to 35 C every day fro 2 months, so its a long warm summer and ideal conditions for the palms to re-establish. However I am not under any illusions: I expect we will only know after several years if they will prosper.
