Hello all,

My Northern Tropics order arrived today...I bought three plants:
1. Thai Black
2. Sumatrana x Gran Nain
3. Bordelon

They came bare rooted (because I am in California) and very well wrapped and protected. I immediately stuck them in water without removing the moist newspaper around the roots. While they were getting a drink, I prepared three pots with soil for palms (it's what I had on hand)...hopefully it'll be alright for them.

The Sumatrana x and the Bordelon regained turgidity rapidly and looked like they had never been outside my home! The two largest leaves on the Thai Black have perked up well too.

Sandy at Northern Tropics is great to work with. She replaced my rejected order immediately and it arrived fast.
