    Hi,
    I have a few windmill palms in my yard, and am looking to get another, from a different nursery than before. I am looking for one that has at least a 2-3 foot clear trunk for a total of about 6 feet tall (for contrast with my others). I checked with Oakridge landscaping and Gerard does not have any in yet (especially locally grown).
    Any ideas where I can look for one? If it is from local seed, even better! I have not been to Sunnyside in Tsawwassen yet, and am wondering if this is a good place to check?

    Any other suggestions on where to get a good one in the lower mainland/vancouver area?
    thanks,

    Sunnyside has probably the best selection around the Vancouver BC area. Be prepared for a fairly hefty price on a palm with a few feet of developed trunk (wooden crates). Cedar Rim (Langley) might be another option too. You will not find any large locally seed grown Windmill palms of the size you seek.

    Cheers, LPN.
