   Hello Palmtalk, I would like to offer one Cyrtostachys elegans seedling to any Palmtalk member who would like to try growing this rare species. I will set one seedling aside for the first Palmtalker to pm me that they would like to adopt the seedling. This palm seedling will be available only for local pickup at an agreed upon location somewhere in the Orlando area. If you want to wait and pick the palm up at some specific point in the near future when you plan to be near or in-town, just please let me know. Also, being a Cyrtostachys species, this palm is likely to be extremely cold sensitive like Cyrtostachys renda, the lipstick Palm. Thus, Cyrtostachy…

   chamaedorea ernesti-augusti Free Vista Pick up

   My loss is your gain, we are moving and I am not taking this palm with us and wanted to put it out there to see if anyone local may want it. This is probably about 15-20 years old and just got re-potted so that should help with the leaf tip burn as the previous pot had zero drainage holes. This is a big chamaedorea ernesti-augusti with a smaller volunteer in the same pot. Donations to our moving cause would not go unappreciated . Carl 760-639-9218

   My next door neighbor has a healthy specimen palm that's just not super happy with where it's located. It's otherwise healthy, it's just kind of a mis-plant. Anyway, he'd love to ship it off to a good home. Access to it is pretty good, right next to the street. It's got about 4 1/2 feet of trunk, and is about 11 feet tall to the tip top of the leaves. Big, but not ridiculous to be able to dig and move. PM me if you're interested. We're in th UC area of San Diego.

   Established palms and some tropical stuff

   Peachy is on the move but most of the stuff here is too big to take with me. As the entire place is being bulldozed I can't bear to see the palms destroyed, so anyone with a spade is welcome to come and help themselves. There is a 2 week deadline however.

   Aloha! I have a ton of areca palm seeds in my neighborhood that are yellow to red on trees if anyone wants them. Happy to ship for the cost of shipping. I can put them in baggies with a little spag moss to ensure moisture or leave them in the fruit if you prefer. Let me know in the next week or so while the picking is good.

   I have what looks like about 50 foxtail palm seeds and would like to offer 5 free seeds for local pickup. I am near Orlando and we can meet somewhere in Orlando or the suburbs. The fruit of the ones in the second photo is starting to rot, but that should be removed before planting regardless.

    I've got a dozen or so Chamaedorea hooperiana seeds I want to give to a good home in Orange County, CA. Not willing to ship. Local pickup only. Germination is reportedly very easy with this species. Ideally have some rare palm seeds of your own to exchange but trade certainly not required. Thanks

    My friend is remodeling his garden and despite my begging to keep the palms, he's pretty set on removing them. He'll be replacing everything with boxwood and frilly annuals . He's already removed a Philodendron selloum with about 5 feet of trunk which i was able to salvage. So without much ado, these are FREE to anyone who'd be willing to come to Fresno to dig and take them away. They'll end up getting chain-sawed if there are no takers

    The shredder pictured below I’ve had since 2003. It’s been a while since I’ve needed to use it, and it’s time to rehome her. ”Ellyn” was just the thing when my half acre was full of dicot trees and shrubs that needed removal and disposal. Alas Ellyn isn’t as good with palm parts.. It’s not .running at the moment but if you’re reasonably handy with small engines a good deal, especially if you’re clearing a parcel of dicots to plant palms. shoot me a PM if interested palmy love to you all

    I've got quite a few Sabal palmettos I grew from seed off a tree with unusually stringy/filamentous leaves in Pensacola, FL. These sprouted in early 2017 and are now outgrowing their pots. I've run out of places to plant, and was thinking of selling, but I'd like to give them away to fellow palm enthusiasts who will appreciate them and provide updates/photos on their progress as they grow. I am very interested to see if they turn out to have the filamentous characteristics as the parent. Here's the thread where I originally commented on about this tree and the seeds I grew (Note: my comments are further down in the thread and are not pertaining to the tree for which …
