This is a date palm (Pheonix Dactylifera) that we recently bought and sold.

These palms grow around a foot per year and this one measured about 20ft so its almost two decades old.

The story was that it fell over in a storm and began to grow with a heavy curve. The grower then fliped it over some years later and then flipped it again.

Here's the result:

The home owner who bought it paid around 15K to purchase the tree and have it installed.

that's pretty sweet...but I'd use the $15K to start a really nice tank before I'd buy a tree

cool tree but not for 15k for something that looks like a fudge dragon

Which nursury do you work at and where is it? I've been going to the one on Hillsburough. And for the record I'm NOT looking for any 15K trees!!!
