Nice one Mike Let us know how you get on with it. As you know a lot of UK and European growers have had problems with basal rot on this species. I have planted two out this year as they did not grow that strong in pots. Hopefully they'll survive

Wow is that ever a nice size, Mike.
Wish I had found one that size, but started some seeds last winter.
My 2 Princeps in foreground middle row are so little compared to yours.
Even when young, their lovely and neatly arranged fronds are evident.

Not all people that raise and sell palms will ship, it's for local pick up only so wondered who he was on Craigs list.
Just today, I bought a Candy Cane Palm from a guy just North of San Diego but had to have my daughter who is stationed in San Diego drive up to Carlsbad, CA to pick it up for me and take to UPS store to ship to me.
