   Free urea fertilizer

   This is about 2/5 of a bag of 46-0-0 urea high HIGH nitrogen fertilizer, that I got at the behest of @BS Man about Palms to kill The Euclalyptus that Refused to Die. It's crystals, it's potent, and it's yours if you come and get it. PM me with UREA in the message.

   Free Meryta balansae seed

   I have sent out some seed to a few fellow collectors recently. One person didn't want them as he has too many plants germinating as is. So I have one more stalk of seed (maybe 1000 seed) I will be happy to send out. This is not an easy plant to germinate as it does best when sown right away when ripe. This seed is 4 months old but with 1000 you should get something.

   My dear friends - I have just returned to bombay after my thailand trip. (I will be writing on that soon) On my journey there I stopped briefly at calcutta where as per my instruction the caretaker of our santiniketan country home had kept for me a fruiting branch from each of the two phoenix sylvestris that grow there (and may soon be cut down I may add). Their fertility is beyond question and the trees are one very robust and dangerous, the other not so. You will find photos of one in my old discussion titled 'Sights of Bolpur' under Tropical Plants. Anyway, after cleaning the lot and discarding the rotten ones, hollow ones, etc. I am left with some sixty from each tree…

   Free jubea seedlings and others.

   I’ve got jubea seedlings popping up around the yard for whoever wants to come get them. Also some silver fan Palm probably Brahea armata. Also a free chamaedorea radicalis band for whoever makes the trip out. Jubeas probably took 18 months just to germinate so should give someone a good head start.

   Chamaedorea oreophila, (was C. monostachys)

   April 25, 2017 by Darold Petty

   • 5 replies
   • 2k views

   This palm is considered the third most frost hardy, after C. radicalis and C. microspadix. Unfortunately in my very cool, humid microclimate the palm is afflicted by thrip. I gave away previous plants to a friend in a hot, inland area (Brentwood, CA) and the thrip problem went away, his palms are growing well. I purchased these three 1-gallon plants shown in the photograph as a second attempt to grow this species in my garden. They are mature, and two have flowerstalks. However they have been damaged by thrip also. I don't care to attempt to control the thrip with chemical pesticide so I offer them for free. The only condition is no shipping; you mus…

   Free Hura crepitans -Dynamite/Sandbox Tree- Seeds

   February 24, 2016 by Loxahatchee Adam

   • 5 replies
   • 2.8k views

   I have some fresh Hura crepitans seeds available off my tree here. I've yet to hear any do their namesake dynamite pop though. The pods are all maturing on the tree and opening on their own. When I take the seeds out, they are soft/leathery shelled and white. No hard brown seed coat. I'm not sure if they will air dry to that or? They feel firm and fully formed inside though. I attached a pic (seeds laid out are from larger pod). I'm not sure if it's better to wait till they harden off first or send them fresh and soft. Anyone have any insight they can post here? Send a PM if interested.

    Phoenix loureiroi

    I have a nice healthy 2 foot (not including height of pot) tall and 3-4 foot crown width phoenix loureiroi that is free to anyone who wants it in the Orlando area. I bought it at the Leu Gardens sale as a seedling years ago because it had a variegated leaf, but this did not persist and I do not have room for a massive Phoenix in my yard unfortunately. PM me if interested.

    Air pots, no shipping

    • 498 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/

    Free seeds from Puerto Rico

    Very limited fruit seeds and should germinate quickly if planted ASAP. I soak for three days, changing water daily. All will die probably below 50 F. Marang (3 seeds only), a couple of Garcinia laterifolia, a few rambutan and some Amazon grapes. Lots of Astrocaryum sp. seeds: solitary, very spiny, but lovely tree! A focal point for sure! Search my posts for photos or PM me if questions as I'm not 100% sure of the species name. I've promised a few already. For the rest, free shipping in the U.S. I'm not sure about shipping elsewhere and will decide depending on the response.

    Some Mango seeds

    April 30, 2011 by Kumar

    • 5 replies
    • 3.6k views

    I have a half dozen Mango seeds of variety Gulab Khas. This is a large leafed (the sort that produces a red flush of new leaves) early mango variety that ripens to a yellow fruit with a red top no less brilliant than a chambeyronia flush. The fruit is more sour than sweet and is reasonably large. If any one wants a pair or more, let me know. Naturally these seeds though capable of producing vigorous seedlings and large trees are no good for producing quality fruit(though the unripe fruit is equally delicious). Here is a photo of the mango type, taken off the internet. An interesting write up of this variety can be read at http://www.urdustudies.com/pdf/15/30seng…

    Howdyall: TIme to break in the Freebie Forum! I've still got a few Sabal minor seeds left, and some of you have already sent me information with your name and mailing addresses. PM me your name, mailing address, and I'll send you a free envelope with seeds in it. My plant is a trunkless type, which will probably be hardier than the trunked types. I've sent seeds all over the world, including Alabama, Texas, Florida, Croatia, England, Poland, Germany, Holland, France, Belgium, India and Indonesia. They're small seeds, so quite a number will fit in an envelope. dave

    I have some fresh (harvested about 5 weeks ago) Sabal causiarum seeds to give away, but this is a "come and get it" situation only. I'm putting it out there in case anyone local to San Francisco is interested in growing one of these monsters. I live near the zoo. I have a limited quantity and it doesn't seem likely, but if I happen to hear from a couple people, I can divvy them up. Sorry, I'm not interested in mailing anything at this time. PM me if you're local and interested. 🤙
