The wholesale is about $100 for a queen 12-15', not sure what they charge installed.

A Sable costs about the same and do great here.

HD & Lowes will have palms back in stock soon, they have great pricing and a one year guaranty.

Tommy -- I don't think the 'powers that be' who run The Villages really care too much about homeowners' landscaping. A case in point is that every home is basically landscaped in the identical way unless a homeowner has made changes.

I, too, a certified Master Gardner. The Master Gardners to whom you have spoken are correct. Queen palms are cheap and that is why landscapers buy them and plant them.
