Canna jaegeriana
by Darold Petty- 36 replies
- 7k 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
- 502 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
- 792 views
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!

I have a large clump of Chamaedorea microspadix that you can come dig. All I ask is to bring a few bags of garden soil to fill the hole. This clump is 7 ft tall & producing seed.

Madagascar Zoo Enclosure Needs
by Kris-zoo gardener- 0 replies
- 333 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
- 412 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
- 477 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
- 583 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…
