Sources for jubaea, nannorhops, or trithrinax in Houston?

[Ben G.]

I'll be passing through Houston on I-45 soon. Is there anywhere in the area that sells any small sizes of jubaea (or jubaea hybrids), nannorhops, or trithrinax campestris? I know these aren't run-of-the-mill palms, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks.

Jubaea doesn’t do well along the humid gulf coast. I doubt you will find Trithrinax campestris. Nannorrhops is a decent possibility. Your most likely bet is these guys. I would email first. I visited them once and the prices seemed high for what they had on site, but they have a farm elsewhere. I’ve since heard other people claim they got a fair price on smaller offsite palms.

there are a lot of small nurseries in the area. You might get lucky calling and driving around.

Only hybrids in town are mules, and they only come in large sizes and $$$. I have never seen a pure Jubaea for sale except at Peckerwood. Caldwell’s has had Nannorhops and Trithrinax in the past, but it’s been a long time and I haven’t visited in >6 months. Maas has a lot of palms but very $$$.

JFG currently has Nannorrhops listed. It's a little out of town though and you would need to check their open hours.

Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right directions. I will check into these places. I just have to grab something small if I grab anything on this trip, since I won't be in my truck.
