   Free seeds from Puerto Rico

   Very limited fruit seeds and should germinate quickly if planted ASAP. I soak for three days, changing water daily. All will die probably below 50 F. Marang (3 seeds only), a couple of Garcinia laterifolia, a few rambutan and some Amazon grapes. Lots of Astrocaryum sp. seeds: solitary, very spiny, but lovely tree! A focal point for sure! Search my posts for photos or PM me if questions as I'm not 100% sure of the species name. I've promised a few already. For the rest, free shipping in the U.S. I'm not sure about shipping elsewhere and will decide depending on the response.

    Serenoa repens blue

    I have 50 fresh fruits/seeds. The who one announces interest first gets them all! I am not however sure whether seeds are viable. This year fruits maturing of this particular plant has been super fast but fruit size is not the big one like oilives it used to be in the past. Also seeds seem to be almost but not fully developed, however one other time that same occured to me on a Livistona decora, seeds had nevertheless a high germination rate, but a abortion can not also excluded. Besides seeds will be sent with flesh because cleaning leaves a nasty stamp like through ink on fingers!

    Livistona chinensis -- about to trunk -- La Habra, CA -- LABOR DAY WEEKEND ONLY

    • 2.1k views

    Hello, everyone: I am giving away a Livistona chinensis palm, aka Chinese fan palm. Pick up and take away only, Labor Day Weekend only, for the reasons noted below. As you can see from the picture it's about 18" (0.5 M) across the base. It will take full sun, high heat and frost. Excellent palm for inland areas, including Riverside and San Bernardino. Also great near the beach, like gnarly. Lush, bright green; lovely when the crown grows back. Tough and not bothered much by pests or disease. Good for a lawn or well-watered garden. Up to 40' tall with time (20 years). It will survive droughts, but much better with regular water. It's already dug, so you don't have to …

    Wondered if any interest in a bumper crop of seeds from this big mama? It has survived for 20 years without protection and has been flowering fruiting for a decade atleast. I usually throw out the seeds but wondered if I had been wasting a coveted commodity? Let me know- it is a beauty, but slow growing.

    Free Dypsis Madagascariensis in 20 Gallon Pot

    • 1.4k views

    I am giving away this 20 gallon Dypsis Madagascariensis. The catch is that you must live in a better climate than I do. My low up (in the last 4 years of living here) until this last winter was 32, but usually in the upper 30s. This past winter I saw 28 and this palm got beat up bad. It was planted in the ground as a small 5 gallon, so it grows fast, but it just can't handle the winter here. I dug it up in April of this year, put it in this large pot and since it has pushed new growth on all 3 of the palms. There seems to be quite a bit of variety when it comes to Madagascariensis, and this is a sensitive one as I have others planted near it that do fine. …
