Chambeyronia houailou & rhopalostylus Chatham island

Recommended Posts

Was fortunate enough to tour a local palm members palm yard today and was able to see lots of cool specimens. Needless to say I’m now on the hunt for a couple of the species I saw namely rhopalostylus Chatham island  & chambeyronia houailou.  Would be looking for something in a 1gal - 5gal from a grower in Southern California preferably Orange County for pick up. Anything grown outside of a greenhouse would be a plus as well.

Good places to start.

The Chatham Island will be an easy find. The houailou might be a challenge.

Check in with Joe Palma (Dumbrowski I think) - I have got my 5g houailous from him.  Otherwise Floribunda has seedlings - just received two from Jeff today.
