We are finally in Tennessee right next to the beautiful Smoky Mountains. I went from 140 species of palms in St Pete which 80 are in Kopsick now to 2 species :lol:. 

Sabal minor 'Blountstown Dwarf' and Rhapidophyllum hystrix.

Will put them in the ground soon, they should do great here.

Yes once I find one I certainly will plant it, they did not do well in the sandy soils of our part of Florida.

Thanks, not job related, we always loved this area next to the Smoky Mountains and decided to retire here.  I am unable to physically take care of a large palm collection anymore, but I will have a few here.

Thank you Meg! We are loving it here so far, and have had pretty nice weather so far, in the 60's the past couple days but have since cooled down.  Maybe a little snow tomorrow night. Best wishes for you and Tim also!

God bless,

Nice! Might be worth it to see if you can find Sabal xbrazoriensis as well.
