Free Orange Geiger - Cordia sebestena - seeds
by Loxahatchee Adam- 12 replies
- 2.7k views
I have a bunch of Cordia sebestena (Orange Geiger) seeds that just ripened off the tree. They are the uncleaned fruits. Because of their size, shipping overseas will require a small box and will be in the $15 range and will need to be reimbursed. Shipping within US is free. Gathered Feb 2016. Send a PM if interested. I have a few in the ground in far western Loxahatchee. They have not been here for a true freeze yet, but have come through multiple nights in the 36-38ºF (2-3ºC) range the past few years with no problems. Frost has burnt the leaves when it's occurred, but no harm to the tree or branches themselves.

Manihot grahamii large cuttings
by MattyB- 3 replies
- 2.6k views
I planted a M. grahamii for some temporary canopy and now I'm either cutting it down or maybe I'll pollard it and leave it for another year. Anyway, I have some nice branches, several feet long, that will take easily if anyone wants to give this tree a try. They are fast growing, trouble free, and the display of bees pollinating the flowers in summer is the most amazing I've ever seen. Give me a call or come on by and you can have as many cuttings as you want. 6192067782

Free Seed

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 Dypsis lanceolata seeds - mailed worldwide! 1 2

- 40 replies
- 2.6k views
As he noted in his thread, Mike Wardlow was nice enough to give me his whole crop of Dypsis lanceolata seeds, and I took them home. Some I'll sprout and use as PSSC meeting party favors; others I'll mail to you if you send me a PM (Private message) with your mailing address and "Free Dypsis lanceolata seed" in the message. I've gotten seeds from Mike before and they generally germinate quite fast. They don't keep long, so I'm planning on giving everything away. Stored seed from a while back hasn't grown nearly as well as it did when fresh. This is a smaller Dypsis, a bit on the skinny side, marginal away from the beach, but should also be a nice house plant…

Free Albizia saman / Samanea saman : Monkey Pod / Rain Tree Seeds
by Loxahatchee Adam- 3 replies
- 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.

Free Mango Seeds - Alphonso
by Kumar- 2 replies
- 2.5k views
Mango season has started in full swing and occasionally I buy some of these outrageously priced Alphonso mangos - of which a great deal of hype is made each year. These (the mangos and the hype) are mostly exported but in case you have heard about this variety but don't have or can't get any seed, let me know. I have dried a half-dozen seeds and can give these away. As always, not recommended for fruit production. Just in case however, the fruit is yellow and almost fibre-free and the tree is much smaller than our Bengal varieties - tends to branch a lot more too.

Sabal palmetto seedlings
by newtothis- 1 reply
- 2.5k views
So I took a whole batch off a florida sabal and threw a few hundered seeds in pots. They are now pushing the 2nd leaflet and I've repotted as many as I need. The rest I would like to send out in return for the generous gifts I've recieved from members here. The only catch is I have not done this before and don't know the best way to remove from the community pot or package for shipping. So they may or may not make it So if your interested I'll do my best and send these out in batches of 10 or so. Just send me your info. If you have anything to send in return thats cool too

I have three spinulosums that need to go. Two are kinda large and need to be dug up. They're about 4-5 feet tall, so they could be easily had with a shovel. The third is in a pot. I also have a sago sp in a 3gal. pot. Plus I have a nice size Zamia furfuracea in the ground. Just send me a message if you're interested. They are all free!!! They're located in Jupiter Farms...

Free seed - Brahea edulis -guadelupe
by palms2plant- 6 replies
- 2.4k views
I was cleaning my gaudelupes today and instead of throwing all the seed away I thought why not offer it to anyone who wants to send a PM to arrange to receive some. They germinate fairly easily but the sprouts die off if not cared for so it is not a pest. In fact they have real value. This is a US mainland offer so I am sure no agriculture rules are a problem. A fairly common fan palm but not one of the pests like Washingtonia. This is a nice looking fan palm without thorns or spikes. A very hardy palm of moderate growth rate and low water needs. It is pretty much self cleaning but needs a little help to stay tidy year round. The tree grows sheets of fiber matt between…

RIP RAP -- Broken up concrete
by DoomsDave- 2 replies
- 2.4k views
Howydall: I'm engaging in a renovation of Shangri-La Habra, which includes the removal of concrete walks, etc. The inevitable byproduct is lots of chunks of concrete. I could leave them for the garbage people, who in turn will dump them in a landfill, and the land will get too full. If you have a use for this let me know. It's heavy, you'll need a pick up, but I will, of course, be happy to help load it, and, if you like give a tour of the garden . . . . SHOOT ME A PM!

20 each free to first 4 takers. Already committed 20 or so to member in Croatia. So, if you research Black Sphinx, it is either a mutant or a sport, so who knows what you'll get from the seed, if anything. My poor seed skills are known the planet over. Anyway, first 4 to speak up on this thread will get them for free. If you are not satisfied, I will refund your money.
