   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.

    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'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

    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.
