Palms In Local Nursery

I went to a nursery called The Great Big Greenhouse and Nursery and they had a pretty good selection of palms for my location. Unfortunately, I could not find any cold hardy species. I am kind of surprised they didn't have some Sabal minor or Needle palms. But they did have some pretty cool non hardy (to this area) palms.

Cold hardy palms are difficult to find with maybe exception of Fortunei and Med Fan.  Sabal minor I have never seen anywhere at a nursery.

Nice selection of palms. It seems like everyone in less tropical areas than me are getting more options for tropical palms than what I can get here in my subtropical climate! 

Nice. Hope you brought your credit card. :)

Interesting.  I rarely see tropical (or those non-hardy here) palms sold in the stores/ nurseries around here, except for majesty palms and P. roebeleniis.  I commonly see pindos, Med. fans, needles, T. fortunei, and W. robusta.  Occasionally, I'll see CIDP and queens.  I used to see Sabal minor available every year until recently.
