   I have some extra germinated Roystonea regia seeds to give away. At least two seeds showing germination through the baggie (more seeds may yet germinate). These were sourced from a tree in Cape Coral, Florida. 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).

   Extra Germinated Seeds (Sabal sp. 'Praha')

   I have a plethera of extra germinated Sabal sp. 'Praha' seeds to give away. I had near 100% germination from the seeds I collected at the Praha, Texas site back in late February. If you are not familiar with the ongoing Sabal sp. 'Praha' discussion, see the Palmtalk thread below: The extra germinated seeds I have are from the palm I labeled Sabal sp. 'Praha' #5 in the aforementioned post. It is the palm currently thought to be the oldest at the Praha site by most who visit there (the rest are probably volunteers). Reports of these palms in the Praha area go back to the 19th century. In a nutshell, there is some mystery regarding what species of Sabal these palm…

   First Roystonea Harvest

   • 12 replies
   • 3.2k views

   The first flowering of my roystonea regia took place in august last year and the fruits are now mature and falling like rain. I've collected a large handful and can send them off to anyone who is interested. The mother tree is a real rocket - 45 feet+ at the top of the crownshaft, planted as a three foot high seedling in March 2000. I know this is one of the commonest palms but just in case someone wants some genetic variation. Let me know.

    The shredder pictured below I’ve had since 2003. It’s been a while since I’ve needed to use it, and it’s time to rehome her. ”Ellyn” was just the thing when my half acre was full of dicot trees and shrubs that needed removal and disposal. Alas Ellyn isn’t as good with palm parts.. It’s not .running at the moment but if you’re reasonably handy with small engines a good deal, especially if you’re clearing a parcel of dicots to plant palms. shoot me a PM if interested palmy love to you all

    Save this palm from tbe recycling bin. I don't have the time to rehabilitate this palm, the spear pulled probably because I planted it in too much shade. Some peroxide and full sun will bring it back.

    I have a Dypsis Saintlucei that doesn't look too pretty, but I just can't bring myself to throw her away. I don't have a spot for her in my yard, so I don't plan on reviving her myself. One 1.5 - 2 foot leaf and an emerging spear that is not looking that great either. If you are a master of dypsis revival, come rescue this poor maiden. I'm south of San Diego. Shoot me your email via PM if you want a pic.

    Free Albizia saman / Samanea saman : Monkey Pod / Rain Tree Seeds

    April 17, 2015 by Loxahatchee Adam

    • 2.6k views

    I have a bunch of free Albizia saman / Monkeypod seed pods. They are fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing trees that get a wide canopy. They are known as rain trees as the leaves fold together and close every night or when it rains/is dark-ish cloudy. I attached pictures of the parent tree, the pink and white puff flowers, and the seed pods. The last picture is one I have that's about 1.5 years old, around 10 ft tall and starting to branch. They are cold hardy to zone 10a and, while in the same genus, do not have the invasive issues like Mimosa trees up north.

    I have decided I no longer want this king palm planted where it is. It's been in the ground for 2 years from a 15 gallon. I know these have touchy roots but I wanted to offer it for free if anyone wanted to take a chance and dig it up. If so, it's yours. If not, then I'll be cutting it down this weekend. Here's a picture: I would say that it is 12 - 13 feet tall.

    Howdyall: I have a fine crop of A. tuckeri seeds, and the ones I tested were all sinkers, that is, they didn't float, so they should germinate well. Here's a picture of one of the trees. It's about 25 feet (8m) tall, trunk is about 45 cm (18") across the base. The Shoe is 13" (32 cm) long. I have about a dozen in my garden. They make great canopy. They're fast, pretty all year round, don't hold dead leaves. They rustle in the wind. The specimen pictured was a 3 foot (1 M) tall 15 gallon in 2008. They will suffer cold damage below freezing 0 C, 32 F, but recover quickly if heat comes back. They HATE desert heat. They will grow well indoors…
