StressBaby, Sealing Wax Palms (Lipstick Palm) can show color when quite small (12-15 inches). The Sealing Wax Palm that you seen (4/5-feet tall) would be approximately 8/9 years old. The worlds most beautiful palm. Now I am looking for a Copernicia Prunifers Palm who common name is the Carnauba Wax Palm The Carnauba Wax Palm is one of the most economically important, as well as aessthetically pleasing, palms around. It gets its name from the valuable heat resistant wax (Carnauba Wax), which is harvested from the leaves. I found a 20 inch one for sale at Stokes Tropicals for $330.95 I'll have to ask my friend Laaz to find me a Carnauba at a FAR lesser price. - Millet

What a bratt huh

he has made me a new Label so its spelled correctly now .

Looks like you found a great deal Laaz! Does this one have color too? What's the diff between the 2? I want one too - can't afford it Sad
I'll do a search to see what it looks like.

Tammy it's all in good fun. I have bearss $ keys in fruit right now... My Coronas are loving it !

Patty I don't have either, they won't grow here. Just giving Millet a heads up on the pricing...

I have plenty of palms, but those are only for true tropical enviroments...

Thanks Laaz, I am going to call on Monday for the 7 gallon palm. At this moment a pack of coyotes are yelping their heads off loudly outside. Sounds like 6-8 of them. I hope they get some of the many wild rabbits around this place. - Millet
