Give it a go having a nursery, it’s a great hobby and you can have a lot of fun growing palms, it will bring you great joy your nursery. 
It will happen, start selling online mail order and contact anyone you can in the nursery trade, It helps build business those contacts. But most of all enjoy what your doing palms are a wonderful gift to have in your life!

I hope you can carry those burdens, mate. Across the pond it's mostly dandelions.

I don’t have the problem , only a few volunteers from my Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana. I did germinate quite a few as I had tons of seeds a year or so ago. I gave it a go and they sprouted , although it took several months. Now I have some baby palms in wee containers . My friend has a few different species of Archontophoenix palms and his courtyard is filled with volunteers . He dug some up and potted them . When the got larger he gave them to me . They are A. Maxima and Purpurae . They now live in my garden in the ground. What a gift to have ! 
 

I do get many Chamaedorea Radicalis and Microspadix popping up every where though . That would be my “weed” problem. Harry

Given the title, I was waiting for someone, probably from USA, to chime in and say weed was too expensive.

Kidding aside, I'm in the group that likes seeing volunteers pop up in the yard in unexpected places.

Fortunately I haven’t had to buy any for many , many years. I used to grow it for my own use in the seventies when it was a felony. Now a days , my thing is a cup of coffee and a day of gardening. That ship sailed long ago. Harry

One of my “weeds”!

I've never used it, but I'm right there with you on the coffee.  Love Howea as well!

Caffeine + Gardening = Pure Bliss.

Those Chamaedorea weeds are high-demand in zones 8 & 9. I only have T.fortunei and S.minor at my place.

Iam dreading the day my foxtail palms start seedling, I have seen what a weed they can be, at least you can make dandelion tea!

I wonder if ever we would complain about palms as weeds if it was a Tahina spectabilis or Joey palms popping up all over the place. Free palms are the best and from a friend even better. 
I visited a mate a few backs, he was proud to show me his new nursery setup and it was quite impressive with nice healthy seedlings, he gave me a bunch of carpentaria palm seedling volunteers, I don’t know who was more impressed my mate, for me actually wanting the carpentaria palms or myself in getting a palm I wanted.

Well they can come and weed out my archontophoenix palms on there way to Nimbin (an old hippie town that started from the Aquarius festival back in the 70s) if they like, next time there on holidays from the good old US of A. 
I don’t mind some volunteers, I have a lot of rocks I can’t plant in and the volunteers pop up in the rock cracks they are welcome to stay there.

I do believe the sailors called it smoking the rope in those days! 
You can give me a cuppa tea and some scones on the deck after a bit of gardening!
