I love palm trees. I have several sable/cabbage trees, several of my favorite Windmill Palms, acouple King Sago's and I have a 35 year old Pindo Palm that has dropped so much fruit, seedlings are everywhere under it in a rock bed.
I hate to kill any palm tree. In the past I have potted the seedlings and have given them away. I am now out of sources to give them to.
Since you are in the palm business, do you want them?
I was planning to pull all of them this weekend, to shape up the rock bed area under the Pindo. They do grow fast for a palm. Once I get them all pulled and potted, they are yours for free, if you want them.
I'll give you a count when I am finished. I have to put three trees in one pot, as my pot resource is limited. So they will need to be divided later.
PS: I am in Pensacola.

Start now for that tropical palm tree look on your deck /home can be kept in a pot for years,
This beautiful feather palm has long pinnate leaves that arch and recurve towards the ground from atop a thick stout trunk. The trunk can grow to 20 feet, but normally reaches 12 to 15 feet with a diameter of 1 to 1.5 feet. Leaves range from light green to bluish gray and grow 5 to 10 feet long. The leaf stems range from about 2 to 4 feet in length and have spines along both edges. The palm produces bright orange fruit (often called pindo dates in the deep south). These palms vary in form. Specimens raised in dry and/or infertile soils tend to be smaller in stature with smaller leaves. Light also affects the plant's form while those grown in full sun are more compact. Culture
Light: Full sun to moderate shade (the fronds grow longer in shady situations, giving the palm a more graceful aspect than those grown in full sun).
Moisture: Prefers sandy, well drained soil but is adaptable and very drought tolerant. Regular watering and feeding will produce a faster growing, more attractive palm.
