Palm Transplant today

Post by banana joe »

This morning I moved two large palms for a customer. It took 4 hours from start to finish. I hired a crane truck and we used an excavator to help with the job. The largest palm weighed 1,700 lbs. and the smaller one 1,100 lbs. They look great at the new location where I planted them. I have tons of cool pics. Jay drop me an e-mail. I have seemed to misplaced your's. I also have the Chamaerops transplant put on disk if you are interested. Cheers, Joe

Brahea armata

Wes, I got my Brahea armata through a friend. He is a palm inporter that only sells privately. Drop me an e-mail and I'll forward you his price list. He has way better prices than any nursery. Cheers, Joe
