I have been selling locally through word of mouth and local papers but now we have a pallet delivery service in place and can deliver nationally. Please come and have a look around my new website and if you have any questions including requests for future trips then please ask,

Importing large mature Cycas revoluta specimens from Spain is a good idea, as they are very slow growing here. Large ones are also more likely to survive cold weather.

Cordylines are not palms either. Moreover they are easy and fast to grow in Britain. So you are not going to achieve anything like the same price per foot as cycas revoluta, or true palms. I'd have a quick look at other people's prices if I were you, to avoid disappointment.
