Texas Sabal Seedlings

[StxPalms]

I have a couple thousand Texas Sabal seedlings that range from 6-10" tall, left over from us replanting this year. I have too many to keep this year, I was curious if anyone is interested in purchasing them. Honestly, I have never shipped seedlings or seeds in general and don't know what would be needed. I just wanted to put a feeler out there, if anyone would be interested in them before I go down that rabbit hole.

They would sell better if you list the "species" of this Sabal. Also the general location the seeds were collected would help.

It's pretty easy to ship small seedlings.  Use a large padded envelope.  Put the seedlings together and wrap the roots up with damp sphagnum moss (or orchid moss).  Make sure to wring out the water so the moss is moist and not wet.  Completely cover the roots with the moss and wrap it up with some plastic wrap which will keep in moisture during shipping.  Then cover the plastic wrap with some aluminum foil to keep the plastic from unravelling.

That’s pretty much what I thought. Thank you for the confirmation.

Sabal texana or sabal mexicana, the seeds were collected in the Rio Grande Valley.

I’m interested in some, a fair amount depending on what you’re looking to get for them. Probably stick a bunch in a flat rate box.

How many are you looking for?
