Picked this up at sale.  It's a Maypan (no talls were available).  Easily the biggest coconut I've ever seen.  The basketball next to it is a full size, official 29.5" basketball.

I'm tempted...

I'd be curious to know how their palms did this winter too, the data I recorded shows they had 26f in January.

They open at 10am on Sunday, so that's my target time unless that time is an issue for either of you.

At this point, I'm not 100% sure if Calusa Palms will be there.  If so, he'll likely have coconuts.  The vendors CFPACS has coming thus far typically don't carry them.  They'll have crownshaft palms, but we had people ask for coconuts in years past and Steve andDave didn'thave them at the booth.

One buyer last year asked for one and none of our vendors had one, so I invited them to the house after the sale ended and gave them a seedling for free.  They took a quick tour of the yard and I gave them directions to go see some of the coconuts in town.

Plantae-palooza 2025

The coconut I gave them is in a paper bag near the bottom of the thread above.
