Godfryd's Palms :)

Post by Godfryd » Sun Jan 15, 2012 12:20 am

I bought Chamaerops humilis yesterday. Special offer for 14 $. Decision was quick and fast :)
For the rest of winter palm will go to the basement with windows, When spring will come I'm going to put humilis into the ground near my south-west house-wall.

Great looking palm at any price, but it's sure great when you can find "deals"

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

FOURTEEN DOLLARS ???? :shock:

Congratulations...what a beauty.

IF--and that's a big IF--we could find that size C.humilis in my city, it'd cost $150.00.
Maybe more. :cry:
