Free palms, 5 of 'em!


Rusty on Pine Is.

Hi everybody….I have a few palms that I would like to give away….ah, but there is a catch…….

In order to take possession of these trees, I only require one thing:

1.That the recipient becomes a member of the IPS for one year, or,

2. If you are already an IPS member, that a donation equal to the membership fee be made to the IPS.

So, here’s the palms:

Dypsis leptochiellos 15g

Syagrus schizophylla 7g

Hyophorbe lagenicaulis 7g

Ptychosperma elegans 7 g

Veitchia winin 7g

Because of the size, unfortunately this is pick up only on Pine Island.

If you are interested in this, just send me a PM…I will check my inbox Monday at 1930 hrs JFT (Jackass Flatts time), and in the event of multiples the earliest reply wins.

BTW, even if you might not want these palms ( I admit they are pretty vernacular), perhaps you might know someone who is not a member of our group who would….new members are always welcome!

Thanks everyone.

Rusty

Thanks Bo and William.

Keith, wish you were closer....it's too bad these palms aren't shippable, kind of limits the folks that can take advantage of this.
