On Sunday I was driving down US1 and a guy with a couple trailers of palm trees was on the side of the road. I pulled in and he had an entire trailer full of roebelenii palms or Pygmy Date Palms, a trailer full of majestic palms, and the last trailer was split with coconuts and chinese fans. The man said $6.00 each or 2 for $10 but cash only. So with $30 in my pocket I came home with 4 coconuts palms and 2 of the roebelenii's. The guys on the side of the road are always so cheap. You just have to keep your eyes peeled for them.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
