Free few Phoenix porphyrocarpa seeds.
by Phoenikakias- 1 follower

I have managed to gather few not malformed seeds. Morher plant looks like a CIDP with straight (not arching) leaves, which are very long; an ideal form for creating canopy. It has remained so far free of any infestation by the formidable rpw, despite that it gets butchered every summer by the neighbour (wounds on palms is an invitation to a feast, during the season the rpw is active), maybe it hides some antibiosis or antixenosis properties, who knows, but fact is fact. It bears super long flower stalks fruits in full maturity taste like real dates. Below you can see those seeds on lower line compared with seeds from a probably feral form of dactylifera. There are only 9 …

Phoenix hybrid (reclinata x canariensis) x rupicola
by Josue Diaz- 2 followers
- 11 replies
- 2.5k views
I have ripening seed of this hybrid - the seed parent is a hybrid of unknown parentage. I purchased it as Phoenix reclinata, but it is likely a hybrid of reclinata and canariensis, or dactylifera and canariensis. Either way, solitary with small but yummy fruit, and very rigid leaves. The pollen parent is a Phoenix rupicola from RPS seed. I hand pollinated the flowers, but it's also likely they could have received canariensis pollen from one of several mature canariensis or from a mature dactylifera on my block. Free for pickup in Fresno

Hey everyone. I am trying to get rid of a few palms as we go into winter. My wife says that they aren't coming back into the living room. I have a 3 year old coconut palm in a 25 gallon pot. Unfortunately the soil in the pot is lava sand so it is heavy! I also have 5 or 6 Adonidia merrillii in 3 gallon pots with normal potting soil. I also have many random small exotic palms in 1 gallon pots. Dypsis pembana, Dypsis lutescens, possibly a few others. These are neglected little palms but still hanging in there. Everything is free. I live in Angleton but can meet in Pearland, Crosby, and will be in Conroe next weekend. If interested let me know. If th…

Rhopalostylis sapida 'chatham island'
by MattyB- 10 replies
- 3.3k views
Chatham Island is the more robust sapida that grows faster and takes more sun. Darold was nice enough to send me a bunch of these last year and as Summer is fast approaching I'm thinking I wanna get them out of the greenhouse and into the nice cool shade. They seem to do much better on my shadey porch than in the hot greenhouse but I only need a couple of them, not 10! Anyway, I've got several of them to give away and pass along the generosity that Darold has started. Come on by and get one or two if you want. They're in 4" pots and could use a little TLC, but hey, they're free!!!!!! PM me. six one nine 206-7782 I'm stealing this photo from Paul. I think one of…

Free Caryota urens seed
by Kumar- 1 follower
- 10 replies
- 3.6k views
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 …

Mule palm

- 1.1k views
When I sold my house in San Antonio last month I offered this palm to another local Palmtalker which he agreed to come and dig out but after a month he obviously doesn't want it. The new owners are friends of mine and don't really like palms so they plan to have it removed. I hate to see it go to waste and it's a little too big to try and move in my car! It's free to anyone who can come over and dig it out. These palms transplant well and this one survived 9° in February 2021 (photo is pre-freeze) PM me for details.

Giant "Pony Tail Palm" for Free
by PALM MOD- 9 replies
- 2.4k views
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…

More Caryota Urens Seed
by Kumar- 9 replies
- 3.3k views
I'm off to Calcutta for a week this Saturday which means I get to clean up the fruiting mess that our caryota urens has been making for the last few weeks. If anyone wants any caryota seed, let me know; I've already sent out heaps so I wouldn't normally bring back any (more so in this humid weather) but if you have a caryota fetish that can't wait, let me know and assuming the infructescence has not been cut down, I will collect some for you. I wonder whether any of the seed that I have sent to PT members germinated? It's been two months, so results should be clear. PS - Photos of the mother tree are here - http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=28205
