If you organize them into neat piles, then you're actually a "stacker" not just a hoarder. I was recently relieved to find this out. Much more orderly. I think I'm off the hook.

[paulgila]

those all look nicely grown. someone should jump on these. figuratively speaking, of course

[Keith N Tampa (ex SoJax)]

Paul,

Don't jump on the Livistonas, or especially the C. alba! They have a bite you won't soon forget.... Whenever I work around them, I talk like the Crocodile Hunter "No Biting".

[Keith N Tampa (ex SoJax)]

Jason,

Still on track to be there late afternoon. Will give you a call once we have more definitive ETA. I need to get to bed so I can get up in the morning! Geeze.

[tank]

Keith,

Thanks for stopping by. I hope the palms grow well for you down on the Ridge.

[tank]

Only a couple of the Caryotas left. You know I don't want to drag these back into the greenhouse this winter.....

Also, make me an offer on the Arenga microcarpa or the Caryota mitis. These are large plants that I do not want to haul back and forth either.

Also willing to trade for other cold hardy palms, cycads. Looking for green petioled Livistona saribus.

[Sandy Loam]

Hi Tank. I just saw your post now. Sorry for the delay - looks like it started back in July.

Is your Arenga Microcarpa still for sale? If so, a couple of questions first: How has this tree fared for you in North Florida? (winter-wise) Are you finding it about the same in hardiness as Arenga Micrantha? Same as Arenga Engleri? Please feel free to email me regarding these details instead of posting here.

$100 is dirt cheap for this rare palm, especially for a 25 gallons size. I just have to figure out where I have space to plant it.

By the way, your arenga micrantha has turned out to be a surprisingly fast grower for me after less than a year. And it is really eye-catching too. I am so glad I bought it.

Thanks.

[tank]

Sandy,

Glad to hear that the arenga is doing well. Hopefully we'll have another mild winter so it can really get established.

The A. microcarpa is only leaf hardy to the upper 20s F. I originally purchased it with a bunch of other stuff thinking I was getting A. micrantha, had it get damaged when it experienced temps in the mid twenties. Tulio, a fellow who posts occasionally on palmtalk was visiting and looked at the plant and really thought it was something different from micrantha. I contacted the grower who I picked it up from and he confirmed it was A. microcarpa. He runs A-quality Plant in Ruskin and these were among some "hobby" plants he was selling. I would say its hardiness is on par with a king palm, maybe slightly hardier. It can take some cold but a decent frost will mess the leaves up, even if the temps are in the 30s. It will get damaged in Gainesville on all but the mildest of winters and probably killed outright with temps close to 20F.

I've had this plant for awhile as I picked it up as a 1 gal. It seems to be a slower grower than Arenga engleri or micrantha. Pretty plant.

[Sandy Loam]

Okay, thanks Tank. I guess Arenga Microcarpa is off the list for me in that case, but would be a great buy for someone 2 hours south of us in Central Florida (anybody out there reading this?) It looks huge, and a great value for the price --- and truly an eye-catcher.

I'll sleep on your other sale items, assuming that some of it is still left.

Thanks, man.

[tank]

Still have most everything. Its been a great growing season.

Hope the other stuff you picked up in the spring is doing well.

Jason

[tank]

Bump.

[Kailua_Krish]

These palms are very healthy and well grown! Ive been very pleased with the ones I got (though Arenga micrantha is a slug to get established!)

[Sandy Loam]

Krishna, I had the opposite experience with Arenga Micrantha. Mine took only a couple of months to get established and then really took off over the summer. (Mine came from Tank, so maybe he's the best source for a vigorous Arenga Micrantha)

Tank, I am finally back now, so I can pick up those four+ palms any time, although I am in no rush. We can PM about the details. Thanks again.

[Kailua_Krish]

I got mine from Jason too, but I didn't plant them until late summer so maybe it took them a while to get established then the colder weather started. They look absolutely perfect though, so Im anticipating them starting growing when it warms up again!

[tank]

Thanks Sandy and Krishna,

I hope the winter treats us well and we get a head start in the spring. Hopefully only 1.5 months left of freezes to worry about.

Jason

[Bigfish]

Hey Jason, the Sabal causiarum and S. uresana that I got from you last week look great, thanks! Mom was wanting to get some "BIG" palms, so I think those fit the bill. Hope the two palms I traded with do well for you!

[tank]

Thanks Frank,

I'm really excited about the Brahea moorii. Keep me posted on how the plants do for you. S. uresana needs a little time to get established but once it does it will grow at a nice clip, especially if fertilized and mulched.

[tank]

Bump,

Winter appears to be over. As it was relatively mild, everything is looking pretty great going into spring. Who doesn't want 20 or so trachys?

[NorthFlpalmguy]

What's the OA size and quantity on those trachys, Tank?

[Alicehunter2000]

Man I keep wanting to get down that way...you still got alot from your original list?

[tank]

What's the OA size and quantity on those trachys, Tank?

The ones in the 7 gal pots are about 7' in the pot with about 6" of "trunk".

I'll try and get some pics up.

[tank]

Man I keep wanting to get down that way...you still got alot from your original list?

Had a visit from a really nice forum member yesterday and he picked up some stuff. Here are some updates.

Livistona rigida (~3 available) 7 gal $35.00

Phoenix loureiroi var humilis OUT 7 gal $35.00

Sabal uresana (~3 available) 7 gal $35.00

Trachycarpus wagnerianus (3 available) 15 gal $75.00

Trachycarpus wagnerianus (2 available) 20 gal $100.00

Have a few additional S. uresana and L. muelleri, but these were bumped to a 7 gal last fall and will probably take a year or two (or three) to get to size. Like all sabals, these grow MUCH faster in the ground.

Also, I have been looking for Livistona saribus and would love to trade for one or more of these. Especially if you bring it to my house .

[Mandrew968]

Tank, if I lived up that way, I would be so grateful for a source like you--your prices are great, and considering the complete lack of availability up that way, you are really providing a service! Keep pushing the palms sir!

[Kailua_Krish]

Sabal uresana is a palm no yard (with space) should be without. Even when they aren't the bright silver form they look spectacular every time I've seen one in Florida (at the botanical gardens). Very large, and hardy!

I sure love mine! It even makes me want to chop the causiarum down, next to it.

[Josh-O]

I agree guy's, I also cant wait until my tiny 1 gal S. Uresana gets to me a monster.

Keep up the good work Tank

[_Keith]

Hmmm, seems like 2 of those are coming to a garden near me. Very very near me.

[tank]

From my limited experience, S. uresana will fade to a dull grey with maturity in the south east. The newest leaves seem to still have some nice blue/grey tint to them even on the older plants. All of my plants started out as "brilliant" blue in color.

Something along the lines of this, with possibly more grey:

[tank]

This color only seems to stay with the strap leaves and the character leaves tend to be a light blue/ grey color. Like many "blue/silver/grey" palms, they tend to "dull up", or green up, if grown in the shade.
