Re: Wild Palms
Taylor,
I think you have made some very valid points. Perhaps I should have considered the growth rate of a palm as a factor. I was not thinking of how long it will take for another plant to grow that size. I still stand my ground that in some cases it is ok to take something wild and bring it back home with you. I guess I got my butt chapped when I went to Colorado and asked around about taking back some wild flowers back and one person was just flat out rude. They are so abundant its sad, and drop hundreds of seeds. I don't really believe taking a couple of flowers is going to ruin the beuty of the state. Maybe you can suggest somewhere that I can get some palms with some heigth at a decent price. As far as the tissue culture arguement, my point was that a good % of the plants we have today were originally taken from the wild.
