Free Dypsis lanceolata seed

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Whoo hoo wee! 

Just got a whole bunch of Dypsis lanceolata seeds!

If you want some, PM me with your address and I'll send them to you, anywhere on Earth except Morocco.

Please put "free lanceolata seeds" or similar in the message line.

You may know the drill already. PM me for any  questions.

[DoomsDave 5,779]

I have a lot.

Generous donor, and fecund plant.

[Vari805 157]

PM sent.   Thanks DAVE!

 

[DoomsDave 5,779]

I have a lot.

Of seed, that is.

This is a slender species, multiple trunks, about 2" (5 cm) thick, to about 18 feet (6m) tall, after 20+ years in the ground in Southern California.

Should be good in a pot indoors. So, Croatians, Swedes, Brits, Canadians, Nebraskans, etc., put in a request, too.

[Funkthulhu 243]

nebraskans....  

You're killin' me man.  (time to buy a greenhouse)

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Ask and you'll get.

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Here's some of the seeds.

[Palmensammler 69]

Oh yes

[Cocoa Beach Jason 460]

PM sent. If you still have more thanks!!

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Keep the PMs coming, I've got plenty of seed still.

 

[DoomsDave 5,779]

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Keep the requests coming

Oh, yes. Gathering PMs to send out a bunch of seed all at once.

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Alright, getting ready to send out the first batch.

So far, I've got 28 requests, from, inter alia; Spain, France, Phillipines, Germany, Netherlands, Croatia, Czech Republic; and Florida, Nebraska, Massachussetts, Florida, Georgia, Utah, and of course, California.

I'm a bit disappointed, actually. I expected hordes of Tasmanian Devils asking for seed.

I can EASILY handle another 30 requests, no problem.

Send me a PM, and get on the Lanceolata Train, leaving the station.

[DoomsDave 5,779]

NO NEED TO BE SHY

Ask and ye shall receive!

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Even the Tar Baby approves.

How can you go wrong with that?

Dont be shy I have more!

Mailed out yesterday evening.

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Here's a picture of the seeds.

They HAVE NOT been cleaned. They might even be a bit moldy.

But they'll still grow.

[Funkthulhu 243]

Should we clean them?  Or will they fair as well as they are?

[DoomsDave 5,779]

You can clean them if you want.

I usually don't, though if you do, soak them first, which will make it a lot easier to clean the dried fruit off.

I've found them to be good growers and sprouters as a species.

 

[Missi 803]

ALL(!!!) of mine are having a 24 hour spa day on the kitchen counter with their friends!

Please share your germination/seedling stories/pics!

[DoomsDave 5,779]

Anyone getting sprouts?

[marc84 8]

Hello Dave

I have never received the seeds that you kindly sent to me. probably a postal or customs problem.

My dypsis plumosa and brahea grow well but slow.

Cordially Marc. 

[Palmensammler 69]

Hello Dave

Same for me. Never received any seed after the C. radicalis.

Eckhard

[axelsh 4]

Same problem. Seeds never delivered :(

[Vari805 157]

Hi Dave,

I did get my D. lanceolata seeds in June.  I also got the D. plumosa seeds as well.  THANK YOU!

4 of the D. Plumosa seeds sprouted within 2 weeks, the rest are still sleeping.

The D. lanceolata seeds have not germinated........ so they too are sleeping or becoming organic nutrients.

Anybody else have success with the lancies?

 

[porkchop 45]

No luck for me ......

[Funkthulhu 243]

Yeah, I just checked my germination kresh again last night.  Had another frankenbrahea pop, but none of these yet.  

[cisco 117]

I sent you PM

No sprout or no got?

[Matthew92 738]

Nothing for me, but my germination methods might not be the most stellar. I do remember that there were a lot of floaters (even after cleaning) with the batch I got.

[cisco 117]

Is this what I'm think it is?

[Phoenikakias 1,383]

No, this is "liquidation", embryo is dead. I wish I prove wrong though...

It is an easy "grow" on the south coast,where I am they would perish,but 300 km south they grow with very few issues.

You might want to try some indoors. Small and skinny, like we sometimes wish we were . . . . .
