I am very excited to have a healthy crop of this extremely rare plant. It is native to Haiti and is known from only 2 mature trees in a botanical garden. A very attractive small tree with a large crown of cardboard hard 3ft long leaves and pendulous racemes of peach colored flowers. It is the largest of the genus (12-20ft), seldom branching and can tolerate full sun when mature. Those being grown in the ground at fairchild gardens have done very well. The plants available are in 1/4gallon containers, 4-5in tall and leaves ranging from 6-10in in length. $75ea

I remember taking care of these plants, and there were a couple in the nursery, that was it. I don't remember there being seed at that time.

Really great trees. Actually, Scott, Theophrasta and Clavija are quite closely-related.

I have three clavijas; one set up as big bonsai in Guat. Have one species growing here in SF (cf. lehmannii) which is a very handsome, cool-tolerant sp. from western Colombia known as Huevos de Gallo. All of them look more or less similar. IME, they will occasionally branch/offset from the soil line.

The one from Columbia sounds interesting. My fear with my Clavija dominguensis I got from Scott last year is that they will not be cold tolerant enough to live in the ground here in SoCal.

Len:

This is basically a very "tropical" genus with most of the spp occurring in the Greater Choco bioregion, but there are some spp from premontane and lower montane wet forests. Mine as a sapling has certainly taken dips to the mid 40s (F) without the slightest evidence of stress, but I would be loathe to test it outside here (potentially into overnight dips to the high 20s F) until I get the lone offset established.

One of the sp I have growing in Guatemala from the lowlands of Esmeraldas Prov, Ecuador (pluvial tropica forest) shrugged off years of full exposure and night-time dips into the high 30s as a pot plant. Never any visible issues other than a growth shutdown in the winter.

Stone I am hopeful that this plant will tolerate at least some cold. Many things from the islands seem to do pretty well at least into the low 30's…. With some notable exceptions :mellow:

I love this plant too. Len Geiger has been growing one for me which I will pick up in a couple months. I won't test mine outdoors, think I will just have it as an indoor plant in a nice pot by my window.
