With James Spann's predictions of frigid, arctic air coming our way soon, it may seem like a strange time to be buying palms for the landscape.....but we all know Spring is just around the corner. I just want to inform everyone that a friend of mine will be passing thru B'ham in three weeks with a truckload of cold hardy palms. Sean from The Chilly Palm Tree Co in South Carolina grows & sells all of the hardy palms that will thrive in the Birmingham area, including many such as sabal minor and needle palm that you rarely see for sale in our local nurseries. Check out his website for the many varieties he sells as well as his current price list and contact info. He'll be here the w/e of 2/18 & it'll be a great opportunity to buy hardy palms that are typically not available in B'ham. Also, anyone that's interested & living anywhere between here & SC should also give him a call. He'll most likely make arrangements to meet you somewhere along the way.
