Here's a better deal:

https://www.plantvine.com/product/washingtonia-robusta-washington-palm-mexican-fan-palm/

I bought one of these Washingtonias a couple of years ago and it is doing well in the Outer Banks of NC.  The grow really fast.

It's not a better deal though, their extra large is 12-14" pot which translates to 7G. I got a discount for that Mexican from NorthEastOhio and got it for $350 (had to buy 3 different 15G palms to get a discount).

Planted palms: Sabal minor, W. Robusta (Mexican Fan Palm, my favourite!), Windmill, Pindo, Needle, European Fan, Sago palm, Saw Palmetto, Pygmy Date palm

Inside during winter: Majesty, Cat palm, Chinese fan palm, Mexican Fan palm

Yes, they don't list all their palm trees on their website for some reason.

Go for it!  Send pictures.

Washingtonias grow so fast in a season that I personally wouldn't pay for one that big to be shipped.

I wrote them an email and asked about specific  species I'm interested in and turned out they have more than they list on their website and etsy & ebay.
