   Sabal: You Name it, You Got It...Free Seeds

   Hey everybody I think the pictured trees are an unusual Sabal variety; they are growing nearby to my house, and are native I assume? They get large (up to 3-5 m) and costapalmate with very twisted leaves - more like S. maritima and some of the other non-native species. Not so much like typical S. palmetto or S. minor, or have I just been missing this variety all these years? These grow right down to the brackish water line, no more than 30 cm above the water, on a very small island. They are very hardy, having survived temperatures of c. -9C. If you can tell me what variety of S. palmetto/minor these are, I will happily send you some very fresh seeds. If you can…

   Hello All, After just having my second winter in a row of falling into the teens, I am having a zone denial giveaway of some of the palms I have been keeping in my greenhouse, but will never be safe in the ground here in the 8B/9A border region.

There will be no shipping of these palms, so PM me if you wish to pick any up. 4 Beccariophoenix Alfredii (~3 gallon pots) 2 Beccariophoenix ????

    Rhopalostylis sapida "Chatham Island'

    • 427 views

    When I was a beginner, (a long time ago) senior palm people were most generous, with both their time and plants. Now it is my turn to 'play it forward.' This palm is the seed offspring of my large adult, it is perfectly grown in a Stuewe TP812 pot, it is six years old from seed, and needs to be ground planted. I would hope that this palm goes to a coastal garden rather than a hot, inland site like Walnut Creek or Concord. No shipping, you must come to my garden for this palm.

    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.

    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.

    I have some extra germinated Phoenix sylvestris (or possible hybrids) seeds to give away. At least two seeds showing germination through the baggie (more seeds may yet germinate). These were sourced from a palm growing at the RIM in San Antonio, Texas (prior to the Great Texas Freeze of 2021). I am willing to ship for free to the lower 48; just agree to give them a good home. PM me if interested (first come, first serve).
