   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.)

    Free Double 25' King Alexander Palm

    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.

    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):

    Due to an upcoming relocation and severe reduction of space for plants, I need to give away a large portion of my container garden. This includes stuff from 8cm pots all the way up to 50cm pots and 1-2m tall. Lots of stuff, including an assortment of ptychosperma, caryota, hyophorbe, pritchardia, archontophoenix, wodietia, normanbya, chamaedorea, dypsis, etc. I'll be keeping a few things, but need to keep my wife happy as well I'm in a non-fire ant area so you can relocate the pots without concern for that. The plants are all in Redland Bay, and need to go by the end of the weekend of the 20th of July. You are welcome to give me a call and come by to have a l…

Livistona decora Sabal minor Phoenix canariensis Phoenix reclinata Phoenix roebellini Chaemerops humilis Archontophoenix alexandrae (clusters) Trachycarpus sp. And other stuff, succulents too. I may be interested in freebies as well, but nothing in mind. Dracaena draco

    Free overgrown Livistona nitida

    Here is a picture of some very large Livistona nitidas in 15g pots rooted in the ground. The ones in front only have a few roots in the ground and easily removed. The very large, braced one is rooted in the ground and would require some digging and strong guys to move it. As you can see most of the leaves were cut to reduce weight but it is still a monster. Contact me if you are interested. Remember you will be doing all the work. Make it a Livistona PRA.......

    Two BIG FLAT RATE BOXES FULL OF Palm SEEDS!

    Hyphaene coriacea, and Veitchia spiralis I planted these seeds this summer, and just potted up the ones that have sprouted - but still have 100 seeds of H. coriacea, and over 120 seeds of V. spiralis that have not germinated. I have no idea if they will, or not - but they still feel heavy and solid - Please understand that this is AS-IS, you may have GREAT germination, OR you might not - Please know what you are getting. They have been planted since the summer - so they are dirty, messy. I just put them all in a flat-rate box of each. They are medium flat rate, so after tracking, it will be close to $15 each for postage, for each box. That is all I ask. The H. coriac…

    If anyone has an unwanted palm or just a cool plant that needs a good home I would be glad to give it space in the garden or in my greenhouse. If you have excess seeds I also have an area set up for germination. I just love plants and hate to see a good palm or plant go to waste. I don't have the means to move large palms long distances but I can arrange transportation in some cases. Thank you again and happy gardening.

    Save this palm from tbe recycling bin. I don't have the time to rehabilitate this palm, the spear pulled probably because I planted it in too much shade. Some peroxide and full sun will bring it back.

    This is a downright nasty, dangerous palm and I've reluctantly decide to remove it from my garden. The tree is about 10 feet tall, actually very pretty -- but those thorns, oh my! It grows fast, needs virtually no attention. Free to anyone tough enough to dig and carry it away. Otherwise I'm going to cut it to the ground. Location: Snead Island, west of Palmetto, south of Tampa, just north of Sarasota. p.m. me if you're interested, Lucinda
