Gonzo~

Thanks for posting this info, but could you possibly edit your post to show the conversion of the "botanical name to neighborhood nursery name"? Unfortunately not all Home Depot/OSH/Armstrong Gardens centers carry just the botanical name on the tags and when you ask some of the part-time employees at these places they give you a look like your asking them to explain the Theory of Realativity.

Two comments:

1. Don't you hate when you see a 10" or 12" palm and you go to look at the tag to see what kind it is, and all it says is "PALM". Well, duh! Am I suppose to take a leaf sample back to my mad-scientist laboratory for testing to determine which one it is? UGG!

2. Why is it that the Coconut Palms tags here on the West Coast say to grow indoors? I don't believe I've seen Coconut Palm Greenhouses on the shores of tropical islands.

Just my 2 coconuts worth,
