   Free Chamaerops 'glauca' seeds

   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.

   Free tropical pink guava tree: you dig

   I have a beautiful and prolific tropical pink guava tree. It is about 8 - 10 ft tall (still diggable). I don't like the spot it is in and don't want to chop it down. I have no other place for it. I would prefer to give it to a good home. I will help dig. If interested, IM me and we can coordinate a time. Bring a big truck or preferebly a small trailer.

   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.

   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…

   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):

    Only for USA shipping. Have enough for the first two people to post in this thread that they'd like some. Each person will get about 10-11 seeds. Post here then PM me name & shipping address. I don't usually get seeds because I cut them down before they're mature enough to create seed and let new stems in the clump grow. Here in S FL we grow new ones by separation because it's much quicker. Cool looking seeds aren't they?

    • 1.3k views

    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.
