You can pick up some good plants on Ebay, but always ask for a photo of what they are sending you if you win. I was looking for a phoenix a couple of weeks ago but wanted one with a good base / trunk. A company on there, who i won't name but please try to rearrange the following words to give you an...

If i were in a mind to have it, which i am not, i wouldn't offer anything. I think you'd be doing the lady a service just removing it.
