   This is a new forum for all members (any registered user) to use if they have palm/plant related items that they wish to give away. This is mainly envisioned for the free distribution of seed, but can also include palms, such as excess seedlings, all the way up to in-ground giants. It could also include materials such as pots, soil, or shade structures needing removal. Under no circumstances will any schemes to make money be tolerated. In addition, be certain that live plant material that you may be shipping or receiving complies with any regulations pertaining to inter-state or inter-continental agricultural trade.

   11 2 ish gal Livistona Chinensis (Chinese Fan Palm)

   Hey there, Today I bought “one” 3 gal Livistona Chinensis from HD and they managed to find a way to cram 14 into a single pot which... well that’s something else. I gently separated them all and I have to say for the most part there was minimal root loss, but since I can’t promise anyone these are in the best of shape, I’d like to offer them for free. I kept my three fav out of the bunch and they are now potted individually. I just can’t bring myself to toss the rest of them since they are really healthy looking little fellas and if someone with the space and the patience was looking to line a long driveway with them or something, they would look really nice in…

   2 Free Dypsis Plumosa

   I have two 5gal Dypsis plumosa for someone with a warmer locale (Southern California). I have tested them in Fresno for 2 winters and although they survive, they take a beating. They will not be good long-term plants here. These two came from Darold (who i believe got them from someone in San Diego, so they've made their rounds throughout California already. They were struggling big time in chilly San Francisco. In Fresno, they love our summer but struggle in winter. These will do best, I think from LA southward in a frost free climate. Pick up only in Fresno, or we could arrange delivery in Southern CA. feel free to message me here.

   25 Washingtonia filifera seeds (US shipping)

   • 1.3k views

   Hey palmtalk, I have about 25 Washingtonia filifera seeds (California Fan Palm) that I'm willing to give away for free! They are leftovers from what I collected last year. I germinated many of these during the fall of 2015. I just took 2 of the seeds out today to float test them and they are still good seeds. The ones I'm growing germinated in about 2 weeks. These are easy to getminate. If you want them, all I ask is that you pay the shipping, and live in an area where these will grow. The California Fan Palm is great for areas that are hot and dry during the summer. This is perfect for people that live in inland California, Nevada, and Arizona for example. …

    7 Species - 35 Seeds

    September 8, 2017 by Small palm

    • 1 reply
    • 1.1k views

    I currently have 7 different species of palm with a total of 35 seeds. I will list the species below with the quantity. I bought these seeds last spring (2016). I've been trying to sprout them over the last year, but I've had no luck. I know Palm seeds usually need bottom heat from a heating pad to sprout. Scarification can help them sprout too. I haven't tried bottom heat or scarification on these. The only reason I'm selling these is because I need to make room for some other seeds that I will be growing later this year. I don't have time or room to grow a large variety of plants. There's no guarantee they will sprout, but I gave them the water float test and they…

    Older seeds - Can't remember if they are 1 year old, or 2 years old. Just don't want to deal with them. No idea if they are still good - and won't bother toying with them. Cover the cost of getting them to you - and if you have something to trade, even better. PM me with the number of seeds you want, and whether you want to offer something in trade or not. (NOT NECESSARY.)

    8 Sabal Palmetto for free (Houston area)

    Hey guys, I have eight Sabal Palmetto Seedlings which I got from eBay in April for $84. They are in ground but since they are very small and it rained heavily these days I can easily dig them out. The reason why I want to give them away is that I don't have space for them anymore. So, if you are in the Houston area just reply to this email and those seedlings will be yours. Of course that I will give them away for free but please hurry because I need to give them away soon.

    I'm going through the yard and removing a few palms that don't seem to be 100% happy. I'm looking to dig these up ASAP to make room for new plantings. Come and help dig them, bring a few pots and they're yours. PM for details, directions. First come, first served. Hyophorbe Verschafeltii Gaussia Maya Licuala Ramsayi All 3 of these got a bit beat up this past winter, but should recover nicely if put in a good micro-climate and given some TLC. I'd rather give them away and give them a second chance then throw them in the greens bin. I might have a couple more as well, so whoever comes to get these might end up with some more if interested.

    Hey there, not sure how common this palm is or if it’s that desired but I don’t see them that often in Socal. That being said, I’ve got about 50 seedlings here if anyone wanted to snag them (venmo a couple bucks for shipping is cool), trade (preferrably) or what have you. Germinated 7/22/18. PM me my palmy homies if you’re interested.

    This is a downright nasty, dangerous palm and I've reluctantly decide to remove it from my garden. The tree is about 10 feet tall, actually very pretty -- but those thorns, oh my! It grows fast, needs virtually no attention. Free to anyone tough enough to dig and carry it away. Otherwise I'm going to cut it to the ground. Location: Snead Island, west of Palmetto, south of Tampa, just north of Sarasota. p.m. me if you're interested, Lucinda

    Air pots, no shipping

    • 493 views

    These were highly recommended, and are used by Kew Gardens. The only complaint is that the pot medium will dry out more quickly than a normal pot. I have five #5 and two #12 airpots, which cost me $140. No shipping, you must take delivery at my home, and a ' handling fee' of a microbrew dark ale or hazy IPA would be appreciated ! https://air-pot.com/garden/
