We bought a Sylvester a bit over 6ft tall - AmeriTree removed dead palm, removed stump and planted new Sylvester for around $600 last year. First palm the team returned with did not meet the owner's standards - called the vendor and spit bullets with him - sent palm back and the second palm was acceptable. Followed care instructions and a year later is still surviving magnificently.

If you can plant early enough in the year for the palm and care for it so it thrives before winter - a favorite is the Robellini - the young ones are so sensitive to the cold.
