Fresh Palm Seed Offerings From Faulkner's Palms.


cfkingfish

Recommended Posts

Faulkner's Palms will now be offering fresh seeds from Florida and around the world as part of the business. So often I found in the United States that there was not one place to get a bunch of different species of palm seeds. Fresh seeds are key to getting good germination, so here is a list of what we have to start, and it will only build from here. Prices are 25/$10 or 100/$20 plus shipping unless otherwise noted. Also, if you would like to get three species of 25 each, that would also be $20. You can contact me here, or email me at faulknerspalmsllc@gmail.com. Check my Facebook business page for weekly updates on new seed availability.

Also note - we ship internationally as well.

Thanks!

Christian, what is the source of the Serenoa repens 'Super Silver'? Photo of mother? What makes it superior to the silver saw palmettos all over SFL?

Thanks

"Super Silver" is a name given to the ecotype of Silver Serenoa native to the coastal areas of St. Lucie and Martin County, notably Hutchinson Island. These seed come from an island that imported them 25 years ago and there are no green Serenoa present. I will upload a picture of the parent plants, they appear to grow more robust and a little bit faster as well.

I'd love to see a photo. I know there is a population of silver saw palmettos in NW GA that are supposedly spectacular but seldom produce seeds.

I've found the silver Serenoa I grew from seeds much less robust than the green and prone to rot. But maybe that reflects my palm growing skills not the quality of the material. Almost everyone has a species that gives them fits. I'd love to try a variety so silver it glistens in the sun.

No, locally collected on the West coast of FL. Have seen great germination rates in the past.

Charlene-

I would love to trade, but I actually have a bunch of berteroana I am not sure what to do with myself. I am up for trading for some stuff I don't have though!

A little weekly update on availability:

New:

Rhapidophyllum hystrix (collected in Georgia and Alabama) - 25/$15, 100/$35, 1000/$285

Sabal minor "Cherokee" - This palm grows way above the fall line, north of Atlanta and Birmingham in a natural 7b climate. This is one of the coldest climates for any palm in the world, if not the coldest natural habitat. These are fresh seeds ready to go. 25/$8, 100/$18, 1000/$60.

Livistona alfredii - something I have been searching for at least 13 years for. Native to far Northwest Western Australia, this has been somewhat of a hard seed to find for me. The climate in its habitat is a hot desert with summertime temps reaching over 115F, and it can get chilly here as well. The climate is probably similar to Cairo, Egypt or Phoenix, just without frosts. This palm does not seed every year and can often be difficult to reach. I will attach some pictures for reference, as there is very little on the internet about it. This will grow in the subtropics, including Florida where I have seen one plant doing fairly well. I have seen it take 23F with no damage as a juvenile. These are beautiful, fresh seeds that are not hard to grow, just treat them like any desert palm. It is probably the bluest of the Livistonas as well. $1.75 each or 10/$15. 

Feel free to email me at faulknerspalmsllc@gmail.com, or you can PM me here. 

Thanks!

Upon some further thought (and before anyone purchased any seed), I decided to drop the price on the Livistona alfredii seed to $1.75 each or 10/$15. I can't seem to edit my post so hopefully anyone interested will scroll down.

Absolutely stunning livistona Christian.

Best looking Livistona in my opinion.

Another small update on seed:

I have received a larger quantity of Livistona alfredii, and now able to offer in wholesale quantities. 

100 seed - $75

500 seed - $300

This is really an excellent palm for both semi-arid, arid, and subtropical climates (and it's blue!). It grows well at Nong Nooch too, a tropical savanna climate I believe?
