Hi 

I would really love to add an acoelorrhaphe wrightii (Everglades Palm) to my collection but apparently the seeds are difficult and slow to grow.  I have not had much luck shopping online.  Is anyone familiar with  a south Florida nursery or grower that might carry them?  I am in the area and would be happy to pick up! Might be interested in other varieties as well!

 

Thanks!

Redlands nursery its wholesale but open to the public might have them. Their inventory is fluid, if they don’t have them they ight be able to suggest a nursery which might. Good luck. I have strap leaf seedlings but these are a slow palm.

I'm seeing several sellers of plants in different sizes on Etsy, also eBay. I noticed a listing, of all places, on Wayfair...you never know when you're going to find plants in odd places these days. Search for Paurotis or Everglades Palm, as the actual genus name is very difficult for most people to spell, so don't expect it to return the most listings. Somebody on Etsy (CypressGardensNur) has four one-gallon plants left at the moment for $45.00 each with free shipping, calling them "Silver Saw Palm" and misspelled "Acoelorraphe"...in short, they're around, you just have to do some searching.
