Does anyone know where I can find a 45 gallon on larger gigas and what it would cost. I found 25 g for around $175.00 but want larger.

i don't know of anywhere in florida, but Gregory Farms in Orange, CA has some pretty big specimens. You'd have to call for price, and obviously, the cost would be really high to get a tree that big from cali to flo....But I know that they do have big specimens.

Part of me wonders why. From what I know of them down there, from that size you have maybe 8 years before seeding and death, maybe less if been in a pot too long.

Start smaller.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Thats assuming you meant Caryota and not Copernicia.

Unless there's a particular reason for wanting a big one (a well-paying client insists) I'd get a 5-15 gallon specimen.
