    Swap your 250 for my palm tree

    Anyone who would like to consider swapping a road legal motorbike 250cc (or under) for a large palm should PM me. The palm is quite rare and unusual in NZ would suit someone in Auckland who is a keen gardener.
    I'm looking at a tree which is now just over 4 metres tall and is going to be huge so you'll need a reasonable size garden. The bike by the way is to get my sons through their licence and help me un-brake a promise.
    If your seriously interested I'll send you a more detailed report and photo.

    I have a realy big Pohutukawa. It's not actually mine, but I won't be picky with the bike, just as long as it runs.

    I also have a tree of sorts up for trades. It closely resembles a tomato plant, although it doesn't seem to have fruited yet, although I have noticed that when smoked it induces relaxed and creative mood....

    No it's not a pheonix. It is a mountain coconut or Parajubaea torallyi to those who love latin.

    Yep you're right, there is lots of competition. The boys can ride the triumph when they can ride properly( if it survives my riding ). That's why I need the 250 or less.

    You guys might laugh but trees (and palms) have an amenity value. I had a client whose neighbour thought it wouldnt be much of a problem if he cut down one of her trees. I called him and the dumbass said "sure I did it, whats the worse it could cost me?"

    Well $75,000 later, I doubt he will be getting his chainsaw out for a while. The pohuts along kent and cambridge are probably worth more than your average house.
