You're not going to find one even close to that big here in CA. I have one 12 feet tall, but it spent a few years growing in the ground inside my heated greenhouse. I'm going to dig it out of the ground in a couple of months and plant it outside here in south Orange County, CA. If you really wanted one that big, you'd have to fly to southern Florida, buy one, rent a truck and drive it back to CA.
