I like getting packages in the mail, especially when they are this size

Unwrapping, (nicely packed for shipping, all the fronds arrived intact)

All set in their new homes

Hi Wes,
Yes, these are D.edules, and from Living Fossil Nursery, http://shop.vendio.com/coontie57

With most of mine in the seedling stage, it's nice to have a couple larger ones now

a Ah yes. I got some great stuff from him too. However half of the trees had broken roots so I had to call Chumley to ask how to take care of that. With his help, I now have a nice Wially flush and a nice Petrea flush starting.
Coontie has great stuff and a very affordable prices. THey are good folks to deal with.

Wes,
They are good folks to deal with! Thankfully, this year I haven't had any problems with mangled boxes.
Last year 2 or 3 boxes came in, (from different nurseries), that looked like someone drove over them

I'm doing all my shipping USPS now, and no problems at all

Dean,
Thanks! Hoping to get at least one flush out of them this year.
