PrimarilyPalms on Ebay (Toyclub4men)
by The Silent Seed- 1 reply
- 2.8k views
This gentleman sells palm and cycad seeds on Ebay. It's too soon to tell if the seeds germinate, or not, on the Palms, but I know that every single Cycad seed I have gotten (All Cycas) floats like a cork. This usually is a sign of not being fertile, or a bad seed. I can understand if a few float, and the rest sink. I only wish. This seller also rarely responds to messages. Very rarely. That said, he always sends the items in a timely manner, and includes extras. Overall, I would rate this a good seller, if you stick to the palm seeds, as long as you understand that he probably is not going to "get back to you."

I just noticed that RPS now lists a new (?) batch of seeds of Ceroxylon sasaimae. I got seeds of this one previously but months later none have sprouted. I'll probably order it again. I hope someone else on this forum (who has better luck germinating/growing this genus) will try also. It may be a species that is adaptable to a wider range of growing zones. It's certainly an attractive palm! https://www.rarepalmseeds.com/ceroxylon-sasaimae

Safenut - Ebay

Guys, do you know seller Safenut on ebay? Ordered a seedling a week ago and haven't heard from the seller ever since, despite many emails sent to him. Could be he's on vacation or something, but it makes me afraid as it's mid winter and I need to know if and when the plant is shipped. Do let me know if you had any experiences like that in a past. Thanks

I went to ben for some larger specimen plants for buddies yard since he was willing to pay more for for larger stuff-royals and foxtails. theses were nice plants and showed up in good condition although not as acclimated as he claimed-the foxtails. i also spotted some 5gal Coccothrinax "miraguama" advertised on his website. He did the classic up-sell "we dont have those but, we have these larger ones" my buddy said ok because i told him that was till a good deal. The plants were delivered and i showed up a week later to help out. The CoccoT's were not miraguama but, in fact barbadensis-the most common and cheapest of the genus. I called him on it and he told me "either wa…

Steve Sterns Rare Palms

I found Steve's site through an ad on the Daves Garden website. We exchanged e-mails regarding some plants that I never see for sale here on the west coast. (Acanthophoenix rubra, Gastrococos crispa). Steve ships small stuff up to one gallon. He told me he'd get me an invoice amount, & asked if I could then send him a check, at which time he'd ship the plants. I then get a call from him the following day saying "I didn't want the plants to get tangled up with the holiday mail, so I sent them out yesterday. So send me a check when you get them". A very trusting guy, I'm thinking. But trusting people tend to be trustworthy ones. The plants came in great shape the next d…
