   Arenga engleri seeds

   I have a few spare Arenga engleri seeds from freshly harvested fruits. In contrast to the common belief plants from those seeds seem to grow fairly fast (in my not tropical climate in cold frame). I gladly give them for free but I would not reject an exchange (not a prerequisite though)! Below you see pics from plants from those seeds 1 and 1/2 years old.

   I have a bunch viable Zamia floridana seed that I want to give away. Membership has its privileges, IPS members will be given preference. Sorry, I am not willing to pay for the US postage for shipping. I will be attending the South Florida Palm Society Spring Sale at the Montgomery Botanical Center on March 17, any leftover seed will be donated to the free seed booth. PM me if you are interested. I really love this Florida native cycad. Although this cycad is no where near to be extinct however its native ranges have been greatly reduced by development and agriculture. A flour-like starch called arrowroot was made from this cycad in the early 20th century. …

   Subtropical feather leaved palm with a trunk identical in looks to a foxtail. I've found these to be slightly hardier than Royal palms,growing under Arizona's desert conditions. I'm starting a new batch now, but there are plenty of seeds available for others willing to experience the fun of growing your own palms from seed... Local pickup. aztropic Mesa,Arizona

   Free Sabal seeds - US only

   I picked a ton of seed from my Sabal a couple weeks ago but haven't had the time to try to germinate them. So if anyone wants some send me a PM with your address and I'll send you some. US only please since shipping overseas is a lot these days. I don't know what species this is as it wasn't labeled when I bought it. Maybe it's just Palmetto? Either way, it's free. I just cleaned 50 and they all sank so they should be good. Also, I don't have time to clean them before I ship, so you'll have to do that but they clean pretty easy. my dog Rocky is 80 pounds so he gives some scale.

   Hyphaene coriacea, and Veitchia spiralis I planted these seeds this summer, and just potted up the ones that have sprouted - but still have 100 seeds of H. coriacea, and over 120 seeds of V. spiralis that have not germinated. I have no idea if they will, or not - but they still feel heavy and solid - Please understand that this is AS-IS, you may have GREAT germination, OR you might not - Please know what you are getting. They have been planted since the summer - so they are dirty, messy. I just put them all in a flat-rate box of each. They are medium flat rate, so after tracking, it will be close to $15 each for postage, for each box. That is all I ask. The H. coriac…

    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.
