Got an unsolicited offer on a large canary island date palm in my yard from a local palm nursery fellow. He said he could use it on a current job and offered me $1000. The tree is at least 35 yrs old and 25'-30' tall (not counting the fronds on top) and a superb specimen well tended. I think his offer is way low, but I don't know enough about palms. In looking around, I think the tree is worth several thousand easily (retail, at least). My thought is to counter with an offer to sell for $4000 and see if I can get at least $3K. Does anyone know the value of these things (wholesale/grower) so I might have a better idea of how to proceed?
