   Free Caryota urens seed

   It's that time of the year (again) when a stalk of our solitary Caryota urens begins ripening - and that means an unending litter of fruit all day everywhere and plenty of curses and grumbles as the inevitable cleanup is ordered - not to mention a freeze in our relations with the neighbours. Instead of wasting all the fruit, I thought I'll give it away on Palmtalk free. Send me a PM if you have interest. I'm afraid though I will have to send the fruit whole because I havn't found a way to clean the stuff without hurting my hands . Typically each fruit has 1-2 seeds. The fertility is proven and the seeds are on average a week old. These seeds are rather heavy so …

   Phoenix Dactilyfera - Variety 'Maktoum'

   P. dactylifera is for me a good germination candidate and for the past year have been busy reminding friends who go to the gulf on work or holiday to get different varieties. Today, I have got a dozen dates of the 'Maktoum' variety (apparently from the holy city of Medina). By way of description, these are quite large, brown rather than black, with a crusty peel and a dry interior that requires a bit of chewing - not one of those melt-in-your-mouth candy varieties. The taste is very agreeable though and it does not become sticky inside the mouth. The seeds are in excellent shape. I realize that this is not the best technique for cultivation but nevertheless, it is boun…

   Dypsis lutescens free seed

   Alright, alright, no brickbats please ! I know this is one of the most overused palms around - I'm sick to death of it myself - but in the very very unlikely event you've been looking for this and failed, then I have gathered some from a luxurious clump belonging to a relative of mine here in Bombay. He was pruning his clump and since I show some interest in his lutescens (for the sake of politeness), he had faithfully kept the seeds, spathe and bracket aside for me before giving the unfortunate palm (15 feet high) the axe. 60 fully formed seed free from structural defects - only till next friday.

    I have three spinulosums that need to go. Two are kinda large and need to be dug up. They're about 4-5 feet tall, so they could be easily had with a shovel. The third is in a pot. I also have a sago sp in a 3gal. pot. Plus I have a nice size Zamia furfuracea in the ground. Just send me a message if you're interested. They are all free!!! They're located in Jupiter Farms...

    My dear friends - I have just returned to bombay after my thailand trip. (I will be writing on that soon) On my journey there I stopped briefly at calcutta where as per my instruction the caretaker of our santiniketan country home had kept for me a fruiting branch from each of the two phoenix sylvestris that grow there (and may soon be cut down I may add). Their fertility is beyond question and the trees are one very robust and dangerous, the other not so. You will find photos of one in my old discussion titled 'Sights of Bolpur' under Tropical Plants. Anyway, after cleaning the lot and discarding the rotten ones, hollow ones, etc. I am left with some sixty from each tree…

    I was cleaning my gaudelupes today and instead of throwing all the seed away I thought why not offer it to anyone who wants to send a PM to arrange to receive some. They germinate fairly easily but the sprouts die off if not cared for so it is not a pest. In fact they have real value. This is a US mainland offer so I am sure no agriculture rules are a problem. A fairly common fan palm but not one of the pests like Washingtonia. This is a nice looking fan palm without thorns or spikes. A very hardy palm of moderate growth rate and low water needs. It is pretty much self cleaning but needs a little help to stay tidy year round. The tree grows sheets of fiber matt between…
