   I have a bag of bismarck palm seeds, equivalent to 2 gallon ziplock bags. I'm in Irvine, CA near 405. I saved these from the being thrown away. I'm not asking for anything, they are free.

   I have gathered two loaded fruit stalks. Fruits are quite small and it is a trouble for someone to clean off the flesh around the seeds. So I won't bother doing this job. This should be taken in to consideration by people outside the EU, who wish seeds, as there is always the risk of consfication at the import gate. Pm me if you are interested.

   7 Species - 35 Seeds

   September 8, 2017 by Small palm

   • 1 reply
   • 1.3k views

   I currently have 7 different species of palm with a total of 35 seeds. I will list the species below with the quantity. I bought these seeds last spring (2016). I've been trying to sprout them over the last year, but I've had no luck. I know Palm seeds usually need bottom heat from a heating pad to sprout. Scarification can help them sprout too. I haven't tried bottom heat or scarification on these. The only reason I'm selling these is because I need to make room for some other seeds that I will be growing later this year. I don't have time or room to grow a large variety of plants. There's no guarantee they will sprout, but I gave them the water float test and they…

   Howea belmoreana on threshold of trunking

   Everyone: I have a pair of Howea belmores that need a new home. Free, as you wish love really was. Gratis. No dinero necessario. As you can see from the pic, they're a bit sunburned. They'd really benefit from a home at the beach or under high canopy. I have others I want to keep, but these need a good home. Shoot me a PM, come get, bring a truck, and help an old man in training dig. I'd plan on at least an 18" rootball. Though I understand Howeas take digging well. The Shoe provides scale for the base; overall height about 6 - 7 feet.

    These are pictures of the original palm and another of the same palm along with the small ones. If anyone wants any of these small ones, they can come and dig them out. They came from seeds from the one in the front yard. Located in Dade City FL. They are not susceptible to TPPD.

    I have a friend in Dana Point, Ca., that will be having what I think is a sabal removed because it will start blocking view (I am clueless on the species). If you want to dig it you can have it. I estimate a three foot tall thick trunk with another three -four ft tall leaves. PM if interested. Here are a couple of pics (Sorry for the bad shots):

    I was given this very rare flowering plant from Saudi Arabia about 3 years ago, & it just loves San Diego's climate. It's very hard to start from seed, but I need to reduce it's size. So if anyone would like to take a whack rooting some cuttings, they would be welcome to. Otherwise, they go in the recycling bin. Local pickup only. It's a very striking plant with pure white under the leaves & purple flowers that the bees love to wrestle with. PM me if interested.

    Approx 2,000 Wisteria seeds - two colors.

    • 1.2k views

    Seeds are between 1-3 years old. No guarantee on viability, since each of us has our own growing methods. None are from this past fall. When collected, some were still cold and when brought inside, the skins split on some of them - no idea of those ones will grow, but just a disclaimer that some of them have this condition. (Not many.) A little over 1,000 purple/lavender seeds (roughly) 900 - 1000 ? Pink seeds (selfed, so high percentage of pinks should ensue.) I prefer to just let them all go at once - but may split it up. If approx 5-10 people ask me for smaller numbers, before somebody asks for the whole lot, then I will consider it. The purples were …

    I have several more of these than I anticipated on having, and more than my needs. Seeds sown from pure strain, hand pollinated by Jeff St Gelias of the PNW Palm Society In British Columbia. I am looking for anybody who would like to give this palm a try, yours for the price of shipping. I do not have certs so it needs to be USA only, sorry. Can send bare root to save on shipping or in the current pots. The locusts like to feed on these, so watch out for that. PM if interested. The access will likely be guerilla planted.
