ARCHONTOPHOENIX "TERACARPA"
THE BEST KING PALM EVER!
WHAT IS IT?

This is a type of King Palm that comes from a large specimen in Phil's personal garden. We named it "teracarpa" - meaning "big body". No one has been able to identify it. It has a much thicker trunk, gets taller than the normal King Palm, is a more vigorous grower and does not brown tip in sun. In Phil's garden it towers over regular Kings nearby and is much greener and prettier. There's a hint of silver on the back of the leaves and seeds are larger than normal King Palm seeds. All who have bought it say it's one of the best palms in their garden. Cold tolerant to about 25 degrees F. by estimation.

REAL COLLECTOR PLANTS
ONE & SOME 2 GALLON ON SALE

At our website we have an article about these "Gems of the Orient". Most are clones or varieties of Rhapis excelsa are under six feet mature. They are considered dwarf fan palms. As they don't make variegated seed/seedlings (this is a genetic mutation which is rarely expressed through seed), the only way to get one is to get divisions off a larger plant. We have an assortment of sizes and are putting our one and some 2 gallons on sale. These can be mail ordered. They grow inside the home or in filtered light outdoors and are fairly cold hardy. The first photo shows the leaf of an older, mature plant. Of note, we have 1 gallon to 20 gallon plants for sale. The plants on sale are small with some vertical trunk on some. All are from divisions off a mother plant.

ENCEPHALARTOS NATALENSIS X WOODII
BAND SIZE SEEDLING
F1 HYBRID OF A TOTALLY EXTINCT PLANT IN THE WILD

As many of you know, Encephalartos woodii is extinct in the wild. And, there is only one "mother" male plant in a botanical garden in Durbin, South Africa. Pups have been removed from that plant and, over many generations, grown well in gardens worldwide. But, there are no females. Because of this male E. woodii pollen has been used on similar cycads to make interesting hybrids. Most take on some of the characteristics of woodii.

Closest to E. woodii from a genetic point of view is Encephalartos natalensis. The first hybrid below is the cross of these two with E. natalensis being the seed bearer. These seedlings are in the band size and 3 to 4 years old with about three or four leaves. They are easy to mail order. Expect a green mature plant of good size that'll want full sun.
