Does anyone know if it is legal to purchase a  Nypa Palm Nipa Palm Mangrove Palm seedling from Thailand?  Someone is selling them on ebay.  It would be great is someone in the US has these for sale.  Thank you

Jeff, I have mine growing in my Highland garden and it is slow. I am glad it is slow because I am not sure what I would do with a really large Nypa.

It certainly survives in my cool climate. I have heard they can be grown in a very wet spot in the garden. No pond needed.

The first photo is from 2014 and the second July 2016.

The Nypa is in the lower left.

Is Nipa really the known mother of all palms?

I doubt it unless you mean "mother of all pinnate palms".  The earliest palm fossils (leaves) I am aware are palmate and somewhat resemble Sabals.

My research indicates Nypas is are uber tropical (zone 11 up) so are not long term viable even in SW FL. Given they are native to mangrove swamps they should require very high humidity

No , the pond is filled with thousands of guppies. They eat everything. There is no chance mosquito larvae could survive.
