You can't tell by the pic, but there's 4 there... I bought as a triple, but had that smaller one in the center popped up and has been doing well... 4 for the price of 3, what not to like?

    It’s just south of due East… Google Earth shows it a little farther South than my IPhone’s compass… Maybe 120 degrees on Google Earth…

    Beautiful palms , just a bit finicky here . Finding the right spot is key . Unfortunately , the perfect spot on the south side of our house is all concrete deck.🫤 I know for a fact it would be easy to grow there but just no room . By the time my large specimens died , the area where they would grow best was filled in with other palms that were too big to move. Still trying though ….Harry

    There’s always the roof Harry, iam sure theres plenty of heat up there and good drainage. There’s always room for one more!

    Just looking at those foxtail seeds brought back great memories of germinating boxes of fresh seed. They’re an amazing seed and a lot of fun to germinate. A beautiful palm that can take extreme heat if they have good ground water. 

    How many do want now?
