Tempting, but 16 hrs roundtrip is a bit much.... 

Would love to try one or two of these in northern california. Anybody happening to be headed down south and back? would pay a delivery fee, of course.

I’ll jump on this too if somebody could deliver 1 of the Borinquenas to Sacramento. Or, I can drive anywhere within 150 miles of Sacramento to meet up with the delivery person.

You guys are crazy......about palms. I'm just kinda one foot in it at this point.....

If I can manage to stop killing queens, maybe I'd get a bit more into this.

I became a palm tree enthusiast last summer (I actually was never interested in any plants / gardening before palms)... last summer, i was two legs in... This spring, I’m chest deep in... For me to make the 16 hour roundtrip for a single palm, I’d have to be all in <_<

Borqui is a very easy grow in socal. A little harder than regia and always looks good

Another great thing about borquies is they don't get enormous the way regias do.

The leaves weigh about half what a regia's leaves do.

Still marvelous and impressive; Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant

Man those look nice Josh! I always thought those are less hardy than regia but some are saying the opposite.  If I could I would give them a try but I'm going to school now so probably not palm shopping for a while.

I highly recommend Josh, his palm trees are in great condition at a fair price. Very professional, and knowledgeable about Palm trees. He even took the time to wrap up my palm trees to prevent damage. Keep Up the good work Josh.

Yeah - I have free unlimited supercharging, so the cost of the trip down is really only my time!
