Last night, Jason and I was browsing on eBay and decided to bid on a Majesty Palm tree. We are toying with the idea of turning our little fenced-in yard into a tropical rainforest. Well, ok.. not so tropical and definitely not forest-like. But close. The idea of a palm tree sounds nice. Whether or not it will survive in our climate, that's another question. It would be nice to give it a try atleast.We heard of a nursery in Waxhaw selling palm trees for more than a $100. We ain't gonna spend more than $50 on a tree so eBay it shall be. And this morning, we had won the bid at $5.50. Well, ofcourse shipping will cost four times more, but still, it's cool.
We will just keep our fingers crossed that it will arrive in one piece. In the meantime, I shall sit pretty and wait for the mail man to bring us our tree.

You should point out that the tree is only 2ft tall at this time.
We're not going to turn the back yard into Gilligan's Island just yet.
You don't want a Gilligan's Island?? Awww... Then how about Fantasy Island... or..or..Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island?? :))
Ok, so ... how does one ship a palm tree??
Sophie, the description says it will be shipped in soil. I assume they will crate it. Will let you know when we have received it. Hopefully Mr Palm won't have a very rough ride from Florida.
I'll go out and get us white suits tonight, dear. I'll be Mr. Rourke. Guess who you get to be?
:P
