Anyone know where I can buy a P. sargentii in Arizona or California?  Or where I could have one shipped from?

Would prefer a decent size one.  And by decent size - I mean it would be really cool if it had the very beginnings of a trunk. 5-15 gallon, nothing you'd put on a flatbed.  I acknowledge this palm will be at least 97 years old so I know I'm reaching - but I'm on the prowl nonetheless.

Thanks!!

You can probably find 3-gallon Pseudophoenix sargentii on eBay or Etsy, shipped to you from Florida. Larger ones are going to be difficult and you should probably connect with some of the Phoenix Palmtalkers (maybe @aztropic) to see if there are any options "on the ground." Be prepared that they can get expensive, and considering your location you might want to start with a slightly smaller, more affordable specimen, which you can hopefully place under a south-facing overhang where it can be protected when temps are forecast to go below mid-20s. They are attractive palms when smaller so you can still enjoy them when they don't have their first ring of trunk.
