Re: Palms tropical oasis, Stapeley nr Nantwich, Cheshire
Do they have any decent sized Jubaea or Brahea?
Re: Palms tropical oasis, Stapeley nr Nantwich, Cheshire
I'm off this morning for a look, I just hope I dont get carried away
Re: Palms tropical oasis, Stapeley nr Nantwich, Cheshire
I went on teusday, there wasn't a huge palm selection for outdoors , only the trachys out the front. Two had been sold already, I bought the other 10 and the yuccas. I also got the 'black boy' grass tree inside.
Glad I was there early or it would of been a dissapointing long trip!

I had my eye on the 'black boy' grass myself, it was a bargain at £80, it was about 4or 5ft too wasn’t it?
I never even thought about the tracys outside to be honest. Theres also an Italian garden which is part of the palms too.

That is an absolute bargain! Not many of these hanging around. I think they have been banned from being exported from Australia.

I’ve got to go and get some maggots tomorrow from the angling centre next to the palms, so might sneak in and get some more stuff.
