   I'm not going to go through the hassle of sending out packets of seed this time. If anyone close by wants about 4-5 lbs of seed come on by and do with them what you like. Picked this last Monday from my tree.

   Hey all, I have a couple of these in 15 gallon pots I've had for 3 or 4 years. They have been outside in filtered sunlight for several months & look quite nice. I just need to de-clutter a bit. Also have a tall tree potted Howea f. that would love a good home....Oh!, and a couple pretty Archontophoenix from seeds collected in Balboa park, possibly alexandrae. Bret

   I recycled a TON of my pots yesterday at a local nursery that takes 15 gallon, 5 gallon, and 1 gallons. 48, 171, and 234 respectively. But I still have a good amount of 20 gallon, 7 gallon, 3 gallon, 2 gallon, 12", 10", and some other odd sizes. If you want them, they're yours. I should note that this in Vista, not Pahoa.

    Chamaerops "NorCal Special"

    • 1.4k views

    Chamaerops humilis v. argentea (aka 'cerifera') I purchased this palm as a 5-gallon plant in 2005. It has a very nice blue color, and it holds the color even in a shady location and a very humid microclimate, I selected this palm from a few hundred of its siblings at a nursery on the east side of Fallbrook, CA. It is distinct in the leaflet form, and has two ranks of leaflets, one above the other. During a visit by Dr. Dransfield he remarked that this was a most unusual feature. The main stem is about 8 inches diameter and 16 inches tall. I have decided to remove this palm, as I planted it too close to the public sidewalk in front of my home. Eventual…

    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. I am located just northwest of Houston (Magnolia, TX) and am giving away the following to anybody that wishes to give them a better home (preferably closer to the coast, inside the loop or as a patio plant). 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 ????

    Hi all, I have small quantities of the following seeds that I want to get rid of. I already have growing plants of most of them so they are really just taking up space. I can't vouch for the viability of any of them so I'm happy to give them away for free. I'm in the UK but happy to send overseas where possible but will probably then ask for a small amount via PayPal to cover shipping costs. Alternatively, if you have anything that you think might be of interest to me, please let me know as I'm open to swaps too. I'm in a 9a-equivalent climate.

    Free uncleaned seeds (fruit is about small regular grape size) of Gmelina philippensis. Isn't really a vine, more throwing out long arm branches. Best to look up online. Free mailing within US. Probably best not to ship this overseas because of the uncleaned fruit. Send PM if interested.

    Sun hardened Caryota ochlandra, SEQ Australia

    • 1.3k views

    Location: Redland Bay, QLD. You pick up. Free, without pot. It wants to go in the ground. I have a Caryota ochlandra to give away. It was purchased 4 or 5 months ago in a 200mm nursery pot, but is currently in a larger pot which I would like to keep, so you would need to remove it from the pot and have some way to protect the root ball while transporting it (wrap with tarpaulin, etc). I could provide a 300mm nursery pot to use for transport, unless the root system has grown much. It has been idle over winter, so the roots may not have grown too much. It was sun hardened when I got it, and has been in full sun 8+ hours per day. I have decided that this palm i…

    I have a limited supply of free seeds this year. My Pseudophoenix Sargentii are not yet ready but I currently have Thrinax Radiata that germinate easily under the palms. I also am offering my untested first batches of Copernicia Hospita and the palm formerly known as Dypsis Pembana. The viability of these two are unknown although they all sank in water. All seeds are cleaned of the fruit. PM me if you want some. These are free with no PayPal, Zelle, etc. All I ask is that you report back to me on your success or failure. The number of seeds that you will receive will be based on how many responses I get.
