   The almost 6 foot tall Sago is in the ground on the other side of a four foot fence. There is no gate in the yard. The only way out is over the fence. Will not fit into a 24 inch wood box. Must be a 36 inch.

   I recycled a TON of my pots yesterday at a local nursery that takes 15 gallon, 5 gallon, and 1 gallons. 48, 171, and 234 respectively. But I still have a good amount of 20 gallon, 7 gallon, 3 gallon, 2 gallon, 12", 10", and some other odd sizes. If you want them, they're yours. I should note that this in Vista, not Pahoa.

   I have a small Syagrus cearensis that's in a too small pot that I don't have room for but don't want to use up all of my potting mix to pot it up. PM me if you want to come pick it up from me.

   Giant "Pony Tail Palm" for Free

   I'm posting this in hopes this tree can be saved. It is in the San Luis Obispo, California area. Contact username "slosquirrel" for more information, or ask your questions here. Ponytail Palm Tree needs to be removed. Also referred to as an Elephants Foot Palm (because of the trunk). The scientific name is Beaucarnea Recurvate. Tree is approx. 15ft tall at the highest point and the base / trunk approx. 5ft in diameter. Has 3 large stalks (that could likely be separated to produce 3 individual trees). Tree is very mature (approx. 30 years old) and healthy, but could benefit from some pruning and TLC. A specimen this large is very rare as they are usually confined to s…

   I have sent out some seed to a few fellow collectors recently. One person didn't want them as he has too many plants germinating as is. So I have one more stalk of seed (maybe 1000 seed) I will be happy to send out. This is not an easy plant to germinate as it does best when sown right away when ripe. This seed is 4 months old but with 1000 you should get something.

    Free Albizia saman / Samanea saman : Monkey Pod / Rain Tree Seeds

    April 17, 2015 by Loxahatchee Adam

    • 3.4k views

    I have a bunch of free Albizia saman / Monkeypod seed pods. They are fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing trees that get a wide canopy. They are known as rain trees as the leaves fold together and close every night or when it rains/is dark-ish cloudy. I attached pictures of the parent tree, the pink and white puff flowers, and the seed pods. The last picture is one I have that's about 1.5 years old, around 10 ft tall and starting to branch. They are cold hardy to zone 10a and, while in the same genus, do not have the invasive issues like Mimosa trees up north.

    Older seeds - Can't remember if they are 1 year old, or 2 years old. Just don't want to deal with them. No idea if they are still good - and won't bother toying with them. Cover the cost of getting them to you - and if you have something to trade, even better. PM me with the number of seeds you want, and whether you want to offer something in trade or not. (NOT NECESSARY.)

    I have a double King palm ~ 25' tall that is free for anyone that has the equipment to dig & move. Very healthy and beautiful. Easy access for equipment and trailer. It will probably weigh 5000# - 6000# with root ball. You do not have to back fill the hole. It is in my way and will meet the chain saw soon if there are not any takers.
