PNW Tropical Plant Home Depot Sale

I stopped by Home Depot by the Portland, OR Airport and wanted to share some of the cool things I saw in their Garden center.

Hopefully the text is in line with the pictures...If you're in town, check it out!

Selling a decently sized, Healthy looking W. Robusta (which most likely Can't survive our wet 8b Climate)

Small White Bird of Paradise (Nicolai strelitzia) for $20 each

Small

Orange Bird of Paradise  (Nicolai reginae) for $20 each

Larger White Bird of Paradise (Nicolai strelitzia) for $60 each

Large Orange Bird of Paradise (Nicolai reginae) for $50 WITH FLOWERS ABOUT TO COME OUT.

Lastly this absolute STEAL (I think)...Large Orange Bird of Paradise (Nicolai reginae) for $29.99. Here is a batch of Very Healthy OBOP's for super cheap so I couldn't resist and had to get one.

My local HD only has Pygmy dates, sagos, majesties (even Walmart has these), and a wide variety of flowers.

Right on! I saw a Pygmy date palm, a whole shipment of somewhat mature Monstera deliciosa, and majesty palms at my Lowes recently. Looks like the big box stores are getting into the tropical plant market.

The HD in Johnson creek (82nd and 205) has Bottle palms, trachys and Chamaerops outside on top of the Washies and bIrd of paradises.  They also have mini bananas and Red Abysinnian ones as well.

I keep hoping Lowes is going to bring in some mule palms here like they do in California, but no luck so far.

Bottle Palms?? I better hop over there today!

[Chester B]

I usually pick up the leftovers at the end of season 50% off.

I was pretty surprised to see those bottle palms, they never had them before.  It's also worth having a look at the one further down in Oregon city.  The two stores don't carry the same stock of plants.

[Zach K]

Good advice. Thanks!

[Chester B]

Oregon city had the same selection as Johnson creek. I was there today. 
 

Costco is selling trachycarpus now too!  My wife saw them said they were pretty big and only $15.  If I didn’t have 300 of them I would be tempted
