They are NOT cheap first off. I picked up a tiny one a few years ago in Pa.,and it gotten some size to it now but if you want a big one, now, be prepared to pay up. How much are you willing to pay?

I guess I'm willing to spend around 250. Also going to be in wildwood with the family next week so south jersey also applies. Thanks

well there some nice ones for sale here in KY for 125 bout 3 ft of trunk but its a bit far for you to come pick up...was thinking of getting one myself once we move.

My big problem with shipping is bareroot shipping. Like to plant with native soil. Willing to pay extra for potted shipping. Maybe someone can recommend a good online company. Thanks, Robert

Check with Joe at Triple Oaks Nursery in Franklin. It may be a little off the beaten path for you in south central NJ., but he has a great selection of all sorts of palms, camellias, and overall unique not run of the mill things. I don't remember seeing trunking yuccas for sale but I could be wrong. He has his own message board so you can post and ask him. Regardless, it's worth a trip just because of the great selection. I've seen taller rostratas and other trunking yuccas in that area so they are getting them from somewhere. If anybody would know, Joe or Jim Kelly would know. Jim is a regular poster on the NE palm board. Great guy even though he roots for crappy teams that never win anything significant (hope he sees this). Also as far as yucca boards go, the Yucca Yucca board is the only one of significance although it has been dead lately. But all of the yucca 'big boys' are on that board.

I bought one 3 or 4 years ago with about a foot of clear trunk. There's no point using "native" soil, just get it bare root. Add lots of dolomite to your soil, they need the magnesium.

You could try Metropolitan Plant Exchange in Fort Lee. Have seen big ones there in the past. Was just there recently but did not notice one, but was not looking for one and tend to ignore plants priced into the 100's of dollars anyway. They are running a 40% off sale all weekend though (and perhaps longer)!

I will just have to be patient and wait for my little guy to give more vertical effect.

I got mine from realpalmtrees.com and they ship in pots.

Brians Botanicals has some for 125. really nice size. Im sure he would ship them but it would be murder on the wallet..bare root might be better. they have few feet of clear trunk.
