Well I am in search of a small Jubaea that could be shipped to the Fort Worth, TX, area. I am really interested in one that has regular fronds, but isn't huge yet (Still ship-able) that I could plant outside. I would prefer something larger than seedling, and mostly or totally without strap leaves, that would be suitable for planting. (For a reasonable price hopefully) The blue variety would be awesome, but now I think I am asking for to much. The green variety is just as nice.

I found a nursery in california's ad online and they said they might be able to ship, but they haven't gotten back to me in quite a while, and I also checked a popular palm nursery that ships and they had a really beautiful, big plant, but $50 for shipping is a little more than I'm willing to pay right now. When I asked if they had anything a little smaller with a little smaller shipping price I never got another message back. So that brings me here.

If you have any you are willing to sell or know of somewhere I can purchase one, that would be great!

Thank you so much for your help!

Not knowing how big your "big plant" really is,$50 is still probably not unreasonable for shipping. I have shipped many plants back to myself from Florida to Arizona by Fed ex. A 3 gallon palm with all the dirt,in its pot,generally costs me $30 - $35 to ship;not including the box,tape,and time it takes to package it and mail it. 10 to 15 gallon size plants always seem to come in around $75 to ship.I have also shipped a couple 25 gallon plants and they cost $110 - $130 each to ship.When the plants you want are not locally available,you really don't have much choice.
