seeds of Rhopalostylis baueri v. Cheesemanii
by Darold Petty- 4 replies
- 672 views
I have approximately 50 seeds from last autumn's harvest. The harvest date was November 17th, 2024. Free to the first respondent within the 48 contiguous American states. If you don't require so many, then play it forward and distribute some to other persons. My parent tree comes from wild collected seed by Keith Boyer in the 1980's. I obtained it as a 4 inch seedling from Keith's friend and my mentor, the late Garrin Fullington. I ground planted the parent tree April 13th, 1986. Because of my always too cool microclimate the parent tree makes seed only every 2 or 3 years. I gave seed to Jungle Music several years ago, so if you purchased this species from Phil it …

Chamaedorea microspadix, large pot of three plants
by Darold Petty- 1 reply
- 638 views
I had 5 plants in the ground along the perimeter of my garden. After a gopher attack I had 3 plants with just a few roots, too few roots to support the plants and keep the stems upright. Rather than discard these 3 palms I packed them tightly into a large container. That was about 14 months ago. All 3 survived and have begun new growth, including new shoots from the soil line. I am fairly certain that both genders are present in these 3 palms. The overall height is about 7 feet tall. (I'm not kidding, can you get this in your vehicle ?) Please note that there are at least 2 forms within this species. This form has narrow leaflets with a green backsid…

I have some extra seeds from a cocoa pod. These are very tropical plants and the seeds or beans are the foundation of chocolate. They seem to be easy to germinate as I was soaking them and some started to pop in the water. PM me if you are interested. John

Canna jaegeriana
by Darold Petty- 36 replies
- 7.2k views
The good news; I collected a high elevation form of this Canna in Ecuador in 1996. It grows very well here in San Francisco, a cool, humid USDA zone 10A. The stems are about 9 feet high, the foliage is reminiscent of Heliconia, hummingbirds are crazy for the flowers, it grows all 12 months of the year, every stem makes good seeds. The seeds are viable for a long time. I have a large crop of seeds. The bad news; The foliage is damaged by wind, similar to banana. The seeds are difficult to germinate, with a low percentage of success. I tried scarification but that just seemed to increase rotting. If you have a good technique share it with me! More good news; …

seedlings of Brahea moorei
by Darold Petty- 2 replies
- 519 views
These two single leaf seedlings were a gift to me recently. However, I have failed four times with this species, most recently with a solid one-gallon plant that I ground planted three months ago. This is frustrating for me, as it is most beautiful when well grown. No shipping, you must visit my garden to collect them.

Cold Hardy Palm Seeds Request
by BrandonPhoenix- 7 replies

Does anyone have any Sabal Palmetto, Sabal Minor(Louisiana, Birmingham, McCurtain are fine too), Windmill, or European Fan Palm seeds they'd be willing to part with as a freebie or maybe a even a trade for something (non-palm) that I have. Ideally I'd be looking for seeds sourced from USDA zones 7-8b but a cooler 9a would be fine, too. Thanks!

Madagascar Zoo Enclosure Needs
by Kris-zoo gardener- 0 replies
- 346 views
Greetings- I am with a garden group that volunteers with our local zoo on the Central Coast in CA. We are assisting them with their Madagascar enclosures and are looking for Madagascar area palms compatible with zones 9A or 9B. As a non-profit they have no extra funding, so we are looking for donations of either seed or plant to create visual appealing areas as well as educate the public. on that area of the world. Any help or guidance would be amazing. Thank you.

Yucca filifera 3 available local pickup
by Patrick- 1 reply
- 427 views
I have 3 poor, poor Yucca Filiferas that I will never find a place for. If you want one, or all, they're yours. They've been in these pots for several years they must be part cockroach because I think they are so resilient that they could survive a nuclear war. I'm going to take a line from @Darold Petty and request a few high quality IPA's to be enjoyed onsite whether you split them with me or I drink them all, it's all good either way. And no beers are actually needed for this transaction to take place. These poor old puppydogs need a forever home. Hopefully someone would be willing to take these off my hands. Local pickup.

A. cunninghamiana 'Inga Hoffman' seeds
by Patrick- 3 replies
- 499 views
I have about 180 of these that I'll send out in small packets. These were mostly ripe but the squirrel just discovered the fruit this afternoon after I pulled a batch of seeds this morning. So, off they all came. PM me and I'll see what I can do. If you wanted to repay me postage, that's cool, but if not then no worries. What makes these special is that they ought to be somewhat cold hardy. The parent tree made it through the '89 freeze out here in California and Castro Valley (where said parent is located) saw probably low 20's. Not sure of the number but the data is out there if you are inclined to look it up. There are 4 people I've already sp…

Chamaerops humilis
by Darold Petty- 3 replies
- 622 views
I rescued this palm yesterday, July 10th, from a defunct palm garden in Palo Alto, CA. I don't wish to keep this palm for myself and, in fact, I don't have room for it in my congested, tiny garden, even to hold for an eventual transfer. Please come take this palm away ASAP. I can even offer a suitable large pot if you wish to hold it for some time before ground planting. It is quite a nice young pam, the trunk is about 6 inches diameter by 12 inches tall. Un-potted, as it is now, it will easily fit in any vehicle. and you can pot it up at your place. So...please come get this palm right now, "get this palm, "way down there, off Navy property" Bonus poi…
