I stopped by Palm City Palms & Tropicals north of Stuart about a week ago, picked up one of their nice brochures on available palms (with price list). All their stuff is grown from their own seed or the seed of their customers.

But times are tough, right? So, there's a big sale: 25-gallon Ptychosperma arecina, $75; 25-gallon Carpentaria, paurotis, Bismarck, $100.

For $125 the 25-gallon list is longer: Canary Island Date, coconut, Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, pindos, foxtails.

For $200, 45-gallon Bismarck, royal, Phoenix sylvestris & canariensis, also Archontophoenix cunninghamiana.

I've just listed a sample; more species are available.

The nursery, which has beautiful stuff, not just palms (no, they're not paying me), is two miles off the exit for SR 714, Martin Hwy. This is just below Tradition on I-95. The website is http://palmcitypalm.com but doesn't have the sale prices listed when I looked. Phone is (772) 781-2626.

A good idea to check to see if they have what you're interested in before driving the distance. Open 8-4, Monday-Friday, shorter hours on Saturday (close early afternoon, I think, maybe 2)
