Rare Palm Seedlings - AUS only

Featured Replies

Hi all,

It’s been a pretty good season germinating and growing on seedlings, so I can offer my largest range ever with 63 species (including hybrids and variants) available. Unfortunately these are only available within Australia, and unless labelled ‘Germinated seed’, I also cannot send to quarantine states and territories WA, TAS or NT.

Seedlings have been grown either completely unprotected outside in Melbourne or in some cases in an unheated greenhouse, so there may be imperfections in seedlings, but expect them to be relatively hardened. Express Postage available at buyers expense. For further details, growing requirement questions or pictures send me a PM.

This is from seed from Colin’s red fuzzy crownshaft B hapala. He coined the Red Velvet term so I’ll go with that. If you do a search there’s some pics of the mother plant on this forum and it was discussed recently in a thread.
