This is a new forum for all members (any registered user) to use if they have palm/plant related items that they wish to give away. This is mainly envisioned for the free distribution of seed, but can also include palms, such as excess seedlings, all the way up to in-ground giants. It could also include materials such as pots, soil, or shade structures needing removal. Under no circumstances will any schemes to make money be tolerated. In addition, be certain that live plant material that you may be shipping or receiving complies with any regulations pertaining to inter-state or inter-continental agricultural trade.

Free Seeds September 2023 Batch
by Johnny Palmseed- 1 follower
- 7 replies
- 252 views
I have a limited supply of free seeds this year. My Pseudophoenix Sargentii are not yet ready but I currently have Thrinax Radiata that germinate easily under the palms. I also am offering my untested first batches of Copernicia Hospita and the palm formerly known as Dypsis Pembana. The viability of these two are unknown although they all sank in water. All seeds are cleaned of the fruit. PM me if you want some. These are free with no PayPal, Zelle, etc. All I ask is that you report back to me on your success or failure. The number of seeds that you will receive will be based on how many responses I get.

I have two like-size Royal Palms with about 14 ft of trunk, about 20 ft overall. They are healthy, were just planted in the wrong spot. They can easily be moved with a bobcat and a flatbed. Free to a good home, just dig up and transport.

What's out there?

Dunno if I'm allowed to ask this here, but long story short I did end up losing my car/apartment and had to come back to my mom's. I could only squeeze a few of my palms in the U-Haul, and my mom dropped one of my L. Weddellaniums and her cats basically gave a hurricane cut to my C. Plumosa. I know @DoomsDave is always good for seeds, but anybody else have any cuttings/seedlings/seeds for a good cause to replenish my collection? I'll take any and everything.

Free Hura crepitans -Dynamite/Sandbox Tree- Seeds
by Loxahatchee Adam- 5 replies
- 2.4k views
I have some fresh Hura crepitans seeds available off my tree here. I've yet to hear any do their namesake dynamite pop though. The pods are all maturing on the tree and opening on their own. When I take the seeds out, they are soft/leathery shelled and white. No hard brown seed coat. I'm not sure if they will air dry to that or? They feel firm and fully formed inside though. I attached a pic (seeds laid out are from larger pod). I'm not sure if it's better to wait till they harden off first or send them fresh and soft. Anyone have any insight they can post here? Send a PM if interested.

Canna jaegeriana

The good news; I collected a high elevation form of this Canna in Ecuador in 1996. It grows very well here in San Francisco, a cool, humid USDA zone 10A. The stems are about 9 feet high, the foliage is reminiscent of Heliconia, hummingbirds are crazy for the flowers, it grows all 12 months of the year, every stem makes good seeds. The seeds are viable for a long time. I have a large crop of seeds. The bad news; The foliage is damaged by wind, similar to banana. The seeds are difficult to germinate, with a low percentage of success. I tried scarification but that just seemed to increase rotting. If you have a good technique share it with me! More good news; …

Wow, it's Easter evening, and I sit, gazing at a HUGE amount of Brahea hybrid seeds, needing a home, and love. Below is a picture of the parent. GORGEOUS, I think.(Pic below.) 10 M (30 feet) tall, 3.33 M (10 feet) across crown, about 2 - 3 feet (.6 - 1 M) across base of trunk (without leaf bases). This plant is awesome. I've sent many seed before, and I'll send many more again. These will take heat, cold, and more water than most Braheas. What is not to love? If you want seeds, FREE OF CHARGE send me a Private Message ("PM") with "Brahea seeds" in the topic, and your mailing address, and some seeds will be yours! Happy (no, ECSTATIC) palm growing!

I have some fresh (harvested about 5 weeks ago) Sabal causiarum seeds to give away, but this is a "come and get it" situation only. I'm putting it out there in case anyone local to San Francisco is interested in growing one of these monsters. I live near the zoo. I have a limited quantity and it doesn't seem likely, but if I happen to hear from a couple people, I can divvy them up. Sorry, I'm not interested in mailing anything at this time. PM me if you're local and interested. 🤙

I have 30 seeds to give away to one person for postage within the continental US. I brought it to the PO today and they said it would take somewhere between $4.75 to $5.25 in postage in it's small padded envelope. It would cost the same to mail just 5 seeds which would not be worth it to anyone- you can buy them online for that. Mature is hardy to about 20F. A vendor sent them to me by mistake and doesn't want them back..

I have several nice talls that need a home to someone who would appreciate them for the beautiful palms they are. NO i will not ship in any way or form sorry, you want one you got to come get one. Shockingly the market doesn't seem to respond to these in my area, coconuts have become a dime a dozen around here and nobody seems to understand the beauty of a tall.
