Earlier this year on my way to work I spotted this guy getting a bath.

And this is what it looked like today.

The top picture is all soap suds from kids and the fountain.
This guy is dug up each winter and moved to a greenhouse.
It can be found in Overland Park, KS, at W 159 th and Grant

I thought it would be in KC. Probably from that one place (can't think of the name, but they were on the news) that sells them for a rediculous price.
I wanted a 2' trunk Fortunei, they gave me a quote of $275. After that phone call I went down to a local Nursery and bout a 2' Fortunei for $30.

I live in OP. There are a number of palm trees popping up around OP. A number of apartment complexes have the Wash Filifera and/or Wash Robusta in front. Also, a number of banks are using tropicals, including palms, in their entrance planting beds. I'll have to remember my camera as I drive around and take some pictures and post them. They are obviously dug up and stored inside in the winter. It is a nice change of pace to see tropicals and palms in town.
