Selling speciman palms in Florida...Who to call?

Followers

August 8, 201312 yr

I have a very dear friend that wants to sell two Phoenix canariensis and a Butia capitata. They are very large palms including a curved canary. I didn't know who to contact that would be interested in purchasing palms of this size as it would require a professional mover. I included photos and measurements. They are located in Port Charlotte, Florida, very easy access. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the odd photos, these were actual images, that I took a photo of. She is quite old school!

Curved Canary Palm - Girth 8 ft 3 inches. Height 32 ft 4 inches

Hurricane Charlie caused them to slant.

Agreed, I wouldn't hold my breath for any offers on any of those, just saying.

They are common, old and look like no one's taken care of them for decades. Don't this personally but I don't think she could give them away.

I haven't seen them in person. I am going to ride over there tonight. She gave me the photos last night. I wasn't sure about them after seeing the pics, but told her I'd try nonetheless.
