Carpoxylon macrospermum 1g seedlings


PalmatierMeg

Recommended Posts

I have approx. 40-50 1g Carpoxylon macrospermum seedlings for sale. I germinated them nearly a year ago and they have lived outdoors ever since, even through winter. Some lived on the back lanai, others in jungle shade and others on the sun patio. None were protected, artificially heated or moved indoors and the vast majority survived a coolish, overcast winter and lows down to the low 40s with no damage. In March I moved the pots on the sun patio into shade because the sun would soon become too strong for them. Each seedling is ~12" tall and most are starting a second bifid. Read about this species here:

A few things I have learned from experience:

1. Despite their large size and apparent toughness, Carpoxylon are tropical palms and can be tricky when young. Make sure you pot them in a loose draining mix and water judiciously. Give them lots of light but no summer sun. Don't expose them to drying winds.

2. Don't rush to stick them in the ground. This is a palm that needs some size before you turn it loose in the world. Take the time to grow it. I killed two before another PTer warned me they needed to be nearly 15g before planting. I planted my one survivor from a 10g.

3. Do not expose a young Carpoxylon to full year round sun, esp. in FL and inland CA. They will cook to death. This is an emergent palm. I planted mine under partial canopy on the hill overlooking our canal.

If you want to grow one yourself, now is your chance.

Well, I guess Carpoxylon is not in demand like I hoped it was. But I need to reduce my supply of seedlings for health reasons and I can't keep them all. So, I'm making some changes in the sale.

1.  Price per seedling reduced to: $8.00 each

2.  No purchase limits. If you want to make a bulk purchase, contact me and let's talk.

3. Shipping reduced to $10.00 for one or two seedlings. Shipping for more than 2, let's talk. Be aware shipping costs to CA from FL have become outrageous and I have little room to negotiate. But USPS has a Priority Rate Large Game Box and I can ship dozens of Carpoxylon seedlings in that for $25.00.

PM me if you are interested.
