Buildable 4.5 acre palm grove west of Ormond Beach FL

Recommended Posts

Buildable 4.5 acre palm grove (licensed nursery) located about 20 minutes west of Ormond Beach Florida.  Square shaped parcel was sub-divided, so each parcel can be built upon if so desired.  Paved road in residential neighborhood but properly zoned for AG too (A-3).  WELL-DRAINED soil (sand hill).

In 2009 I had the property cleared and fenced in.  The next year I had the 500 Sq. ft Barn substantially improved/rebuilt.  

Collectors mix of cold-hardy palms with dozens of F1 Jubaea x Butia and/or backcrossed BJx Jubaea.  Most of the F1 Jubutia are now producing seed.  Substantial business opportunity for east coast production of Jubutia of F1 genetic character.  There’s also substantial interest in hand-made hybrids like Jubutyagrus.  I have two ‘Mountain Queens’ that Nigel Kembrey kindly sent me seeds of years ago.  They should soon flower.

Other palms can be dug & sold, or kept to admire.  These include about 30 Jubutyagrus, 5 large Butia x Parajubaea and one ultra-rare Jubaea x Queen.  Several Sabal Louisiana (one mature) from an outstanding blue specimen.  A few smaller Blue Brahea Dulcis, Super Silver, Trachy Princeps,Livistona Mariae hybrids, and 3 nice silver Bismarckia from especially cold-hardy parents.

$200k purchase price or for buyers capable of pursuing the commercial opportunity, a partnership is possible.  That next phase is too much for this one man.

Serious inquiries can PM me.  Now how about a few photos already? :-). First few are of thick-trunked Jubutia — the silver specimen hasn’t flowered just yet.

 Jubaea x Butia F1 seeds vary by specimen, but an upright one produced the largest.  Two Butia x Parajubaea photis along with one Syagrus ‘Mountain Queen’.  Finally a photo from last year with my Jeep so you can better appreciate Jubutia size.  I do have a number of younger specimens as well.

Land in FL is selling like mad, I hear. 4.5 ac properties don't just fall from the sky. Anyone who is looking to or thinking of moving here ought to check it out.

A few more Jubutia photos.  One JxB F1 has long recurving leaves.  Funny how they still vary even when exact F1 siblings.

This BJxJubaea has glaucous underside to leaves but the JxB F1 look more like Jubaea.  Waiting on the silver one to flower so controlled crosses can be made — should eventually produce some sweet field-grown specimens, even allowing for genetic variance from crossing two F1s.

The Jubaea in Chile that have silvery undersides to their leaves look awesome to me.

Broad photo.  Property is still available but probably not for long. PM me with any serious interest.  Thanks.
