That tree is still avaiable by the way. $6500. They have a few, so if you hurry you can buy and plant a Mexican Grass Tree forest! :)

$6500 or 65.00? Had to ask because I can't see anyone paying 6500 for a tree.

There are a lot of 'collectable' plants here in So Cal that are much more expensive than that, believe it or not.

What is the contact info for this plant? I am in Temecula, not far from Escondido. I would love to see it in person.
