   Giant "Pony Tail Palm" for Free

   I'm posting this in hopes this tree can be saved. It is in the San Luis Obispo, California area. Contact username "slosquirrel" for more information, or ask your questions here. Ponytail Palm Tree needs to be removed. Also referred to as an Elephants Foot Palm (because of the trunk). The scientific name is Beaucarnea Recurvate. Tree is approx. 15ft tall at the highest point and the base / trunk approx. 5ft in diameter. Has 3 large stalks (that could likely be separated to produce 3 individual trees). Tree is very mature (approx. 30 years old) and healthy, but could benefit from some pruning and TLC. A specimen this large is very rare as they are usually confined to s…

   I give up! If anyone wants to help me dig up this bamboo and split it (it's 2 separate plants actually) you can have half. I'm about halfway there but it's kicked my butt.

   I'm "down-sizing" my plant collection and have a few things I've decided not to plant that I'd like to give to other plant enthusiasts/collectors -- most of these would benefit from being re-potted (or just planted) and/or need some TLC/fertilizer. For pick-up only...(in Sarasota) 6" pot & 1 gal. - Chamaedorea klotzschiana 1 gal. Chamaedorea seifrizii (bamboo palm) 1 gal. Dypsis baronii 1 gal. Dypsis lutescens (areca palm) 1 gal. Dypsis ssp.

   Howea belmoreana on threshold of trunking

   Everyone: I have a pair of Howea belmores that need a new home. Free, as you wish love really was. Gratis. No dinero necessario. As you can see from the pic, they're a bit sunburned. They'd really benefit from a home at the beach or under high canopy. I have others I want to keep, but these need a good home. Shoot me a PM, come get, bring a truck, and help an old man in training dig. I'd plan on at least an 18" rootball. Though I understand Howeas take digging well. The Shoe provides scale for the base; overall height about 6 - 7 feet.

    These are pictures of the original palm and another of the same palm along with the small ones. If anyone wants any of these small ones, they can come and dig them out. They came from seeds from the one in the front yard. Located in Dade City FL. They are not susceptible to TPPD.

    Interested in Cassia Tomentosa seeds?

    • 269 views

    Hello all, I have copious seed pods... all over the driveway now. I can pick a bunch up and send them out if anyone interested. There's probably 20 seeds in a pod, pods are maybe 5" long, 3/8" diameter. seeds are maybe 4mm daimeter. I'll just put them in an envelope and post. This appears to be synonymous with Senna multiglandulosa. I forget where I got this from. They seed easily all over my yard after winter. It's a small tree, maybe 10' tall max, or even a bush. Edit: Apparently it can get a bit tall. Wikipedia says 6 meters, but mine have gotten top heavy and fallen over or broken. I'll give them 3 meters...

    I have several nice talls that need a home to someone who would appreciate them for the beautiful palms they are. NO i will not ship in any way or form sorry, you want one you got to come get one. Shockingly the market doesn't seem to respond to these in my area, coconuts have become a dime a dozen around here and nobody seems to understand the beauty of a tall.

    Licuala Grandis seed

    G'morning everyone. I met today, on my morning walk, an old Parsi gentleman (Parsis are Zoroastrians - a very ancient religous faith, originating in Persia) who lives in my neighbourhood. We were discussing plants in general and he mentioned he had a large garden and invited me for a visit and a cup of tea. He had all the usual palms but of interest were some fruiting Licuala Grandis and two Livistonas I could not identify but which I suspect from the large inflorescence and spherical fruit is L. mariae (photos will be put up tomorrow). I collected some seed of these two and I can send out two packets of ten each to anyone who has interest.

    Livistona chinensis -- about to trunk -- La Habra, CA -- LABOR DAY WEEKEND ONLY

    August 30, 2013 by DoomsDave

    • 1.9k views

    Hello, everyone: I am giving away a Livistona chinensis palm, aka Chinese fan palm. Pick up and take away only, Labor Day Weekend only, for the reasons noted below. As you can see from the picture it's about 18" (0.5 M) across the base. It will take full sun, high heat and frost. Excellent palm for inland areas, including Riverside and San Bernardino. Also great near the beach, like gnarly. Lush, bright green; lovely when the crown grows back. Tough and not bothered much by pests or disease. Good for a lawn or well-watered garden. Up to 40' tall with time (20 years). It will survive droughts, but much better with regular water. It's already dug, so you don't have to …
