Alex Zone 5 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Spotted this today at a local garden center It's huge and so is asking price of 900usd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasarecho Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Beautiful but $900 seems a bit excessive. I've got one in a pot, not nearly that big, picked up at a FL Walmart better than 10 years ago for 20 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontknowhatnametuse Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 900 is too much, I had seen these at Lowe's Mexico when it was still a thing and they costed 400 MXN (20 USD) just a bit smaller than the one in your photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iko. Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 (edited) It's expensive even by European standards. In Spain, a similar size to the one in your photo would cost between 70 to 200EUR. Often, much bigger Bismarckias in pots can be seen (photo attached) ranging between 600 to 1000EUR. In Northern European countries, yes, they will be more expensive. These palms are very root sensitive and I found out that smaller sizes are a better investment than bigger ones. By the time the big one is recovering from the transplant, a smaller one may have duplicated in size. Edited February 21 by iko. iko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabal King Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 This is one of the palms I wish that I would be able to grow here, but just can't.. They really are stunning palms, the color, growth pattern, etc. I'd love to have one in a pot but haven't given it much thought yet. 2 Subscribe to my YouTube here to follow along my Sabal obsession.... Quite possibly one of the biggest Sabal plantings in the US. Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sabalking.texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
