When I was a beginner, (a long time ago) senior palm people were most generous, with both their time and plants.  Now it is my turn to 'play it forward.'

This palm is the seed offspring of my large adult,  it is perfectly grown in a Stuewe TP812 pot,  it is six years old from seed, and needs to be ground planted.  

I would hope that this palm goes to a coastal garden rather than a hot, inland site like Walnut Creek or Concord.  No shipping, you must come to my garden for this palm.  :)

Dave, my wife and I travel to Alameda every few months for the gigantic flea market hosted there on the first Sunday of the month.  I am always disappointed to see only the usual suspects,  Washingtonia, Phoenix, and Syagrus.   Alameda has perfect protection from frost and more warmth and sunshine than San Francisco.  It could easily support forests of Howea or Rhopalostylis, alas those genera are not to be seen.  :(
