Redlands nursery

[OC2Texaspalmlvr]

So basically I want to reach out to anyone near Redlands nursery in Homestead, Florida. Who is willing to buy and ship palms to the Houston area. I actually bought palms from them lately and the shipping technique was atrocious and the cost was outrageous. Alot of us who live in between So.Cal and Florida don't have many options locally for rare palms =/ PM me if interested to embark on this endeavor as I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in this arrangement.

Actually I haven't done much exploring outside of PT. Noone has really pointed me in the right direction for palms in Texas.

@OC2TexaspalmlvrHere are the blue alba I have in 3g grown from Christian Faulkner seed. $37ea. Nicest color than any alba I have seen at a florida nursery. The pictures dont so them any justice but they are starting to get very good color on them.  I have to deliver some encephalartos to the houston botanic garden in the next 30 days and will elbe in the area. 

I also have powder blue paurtis palm which will do great in houston as well.

@TexasColdHardyPalmsCount me in for the Albas for sure and if you still have any of those L.Decoras you were trying to give away =) 

[TexasColdHardyPalms]

I have plenty of decora left.  PM me and let me know how many you want

[Meangreen94z]

[TexasColdHardyPalms]
