ALL CONING SIZED
SPECIMENS SHOWING SIX DIFFERENT PLANTS
At the Nursery we did a walk around to
photograph some larger blue Encephalartos. All plants shown
are coning sized, some presently in cone. All have been locally grown.
Blue Encephalartos like sun and are cold hardy to about 22
degrees F. Any of these plants can be delivered or shipped although 36
inch boxed plants are difficult. We certainly have smaller and more
affordable plants of these species.

STUNNING RED FEMALE CONE
GREEN HOLLY FERN - LIKE LEAFLETS The first six photos below are of a 15g
Encephalartos ferox at the nursery that has put out an almost "Fire
Engine Red" female cone. I fear the real
color is not showing on this Webpage, but it's true red in real life.
This plant is for sale. The caudex size is 12.5 inches. I've found
that male cones don't have the same intensely red color. See last
photo. Leaves are green and leaflets are armed with small spines. Many
say the leaves look like a Holly Fern. Mature, this is a medium sized
cycad that likes either filtered light inland or some sun along the
coast. But, it's best not to grow it in full sun anywhere locally as
leaves tend to get a lime green color. Cold hardiness is down to the
low 20's F.
I have shown an assortment of other photos below including a smaller
plant at the nursery. We have a nice assortment of sizes available.
But, only mature, larger plants will cone.

Pritchardia are
a tropical fan palms. Most do not get overly large and many are

There are about 25 species with habitats ranging from Hawaii to some
South Pacific islands. We only grow the Hawaiian varieties as they
do the best in Southern California where most will take coastal full
sun. Or, one can grow them in part day sun. Cold tolerance
is in the mid-twenties or a bit lower. I'm showing you an example
of our boxed Pritchardia.We only have a handful of these although we also have very large
25 gallon size.The plant
shown is about 20 years old.We don’t know for sure the exact species.It was from wild collected seed.Anticipate as mature height of ten to twenty feet.Of the many species, all are different.Some are super short.Some have flat leaves.Some have color below the leaves.Most have thin trunks and very few get over 20 feet.There's a perfect Hawaiian Palm for anyone. These are way
too big and tall for mail order but can be trucked. We have about
eight different species of Pritchardia in large sizes.

PHOENIX RUPICOLA THE CLIFF DATE PALM
MEDIUM SIZE -THINNER TRUNK THAN CANARY
FAIRLY COLD HARDY TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
I don't know if you've looked for this species, but the Cliff
Date Palm is not so easy to find. It is native to India
and is about half the size of the Canary Island Palm in terms of
trunk diameter and mature height. Also, the crown is much
smaller. It is an armed species and has other
characteristics of Phoenix like the induplicate leaflets
(water held "in" - V shaped ). But, many think this is the
prettiest of all the Date Palms. It typically gets fifteen
to twenty-five feet tall. The leaves are very pretty and
green. The crown is not overly large. Leaves curve
downwards.Growth
rate is medium, it tolerates full sun and is cold hardy into the
mid-twenties or lower. Shown here are our 15 gallon size
which are quite large for their pots. And, we're putting
them on sale.

DYPSIS SPECIES
SUCKERING PALM WITH ANTICIPATED MEDIUM SIZED TRUNKS
SHOULD TOLERATE SOME SUN TEN DAY SPECIAL
15G SIZE
Many of you are familiar with the genus
Dypsis. Almost all are native to Madagascar. There are over
200 species. Some are single trunk - others suckers. Heights
are variable from short to very tall. Most tolerate some degree of
or full sun. All are good growers and almost all will live in our
area. The palm on special is a Dypsis and it is
suckering. I'd anticipate a height of at least 15 feet with canes
about the size of your ankle or calf. It's already showing nice
color in the inner crown area as shown. I cannot show a mature
palm as I don't know the exact species.

HEDYSCEPE CANTERBURYANA FROM LORD HOWE ISLAND
SILVER CROWN SHAFT - SILVER TRUNK UMBRELLA SHAPED CROWN OF LEAVES ONE OF PRETTIEST PALM TREES AROUND
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
We have available some nice 15g plants of Hedyscepe canterburyana. This
single trunk palm has a silver crown shaft, silver trunk (in shade) with
prominent rings. It is native to medium elevations in the
mountains of Lord Howea Island (home of the Kentia Palm). It is
single trunk. Mature height is about 20 feet. They fruit
here and seeds are large and red in color. Along our coast here it
takes full sun but also does well in part day sun or strong filtered
light. Trunks are beefier in sun. Cold tolerance is about 25
degrees. When folks see this plant in person, most agree it is one
of the most desirable palms around. We
are putting our 15g size on special -
shown in first six photos. This size is about seven years old.
Yes, they are slow growing!

RHOPALOSTYLIS SAPIDA
THE NIKAU PALM OR SHAVING BRUSH PALM
NEW ZEALAND PALM - BULGING CROWN SHAFT
A FAVORITE OF ALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
Native stands of Rhopalostylis
sapida are
found in temperate parts of New Zealand and also on coastal areas of
Chatham and South Islands. In these localities it is found in
shaded forests and in the more moist bottoms of mountainous gullies.
One does not see it at high elevation where severe cold may be seen.
Rather it's in the coastal and warmer regions. Being a slow
growing species, it is reported that it takes ten to fifteen years in
habitat before one begins to see a formed trunk. One report done
by the New Zealand government reported that it took forty years to show
trunk and that ten meter trees were 200 years old. The point here
is that, as a species, the Nikau Palm is slow growing in its natural
habitat. Soil in the area is good draining and rainfall is ample
This is a single trunk palm that has green, upright leaves. The
hallmarks of this plant are the upright pointing leaves and the swollen
crown shaft. Almost always, the crown shaft is prominently larger
in diameter than the trunk. The trunk has rings from old leaf
attachments. Overall height after many decades is 25 to 35 feet
or, on old specimens, even more. Trunk diameter is eight to twelve
inches. Leaves are usually eight to twelve feet long. Growth
rate is slow. REGULAR PRICE 15G $225
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G $200
Mention this Blog Only Special at the time of
purchase for this discounted price. We do have other sizes for
sale. The 15g size can be mail ordered but it takes a large, heavy
box.
TALL, SINGLE TRUNK SPECIES
ELEGANT WITH LONG CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This super popular palm is native to south Florida and Cuba. It
gets a very tall trunk with a height of forty feet or more. The
crown shaft is long and a prominent green. The base of the trunk
is swollen just above the ground. Often, you'll also see bulging
in the mid-trunk. It is a full sun plant and some are growing it
in desert areas with success - in full sun. Cold tolerance is like
a King Palm, about 25 degrees F. The 15 gallon we have are about
head height in their pots.
Basal diameter is 2 to 3 inches.We also have 5g and bands.We are hoping to offer larger sizes than shown here shortly.There's a shortage of this species on the California market.
The Royal in the last photo was sent to me by a customer who lives in
Bonita, CA. This plant is in his garden.

CHAMBEYRONIA MACROCARPA
THE FLAME THROWER PALM
NEW RED EMERGING LEAF
DARK GREEN CROWN SHAFT TEN DAY SPECIAL SQUAT 15 GALLON SIZE
What good fortune is it that New Caledonia
can claim to be the home of all Chambeyronia. Included is this
species, C. macrocarpa. It is a slow growing, pinnate, crown
shafted palm that gets to a height of about 30 feet. It has a dark
green to green-black crown shaft. Compare this to C. hookeri above
with it's yellow crown shaft. Leaves are wide, thick and leathery
to the touch. With good culture, maybe you can get three new
leaves a year. About one in twenty plants fail to throw a new red
leaf - rather, it remains green. This is just bad luck and there's
no way to predict which will do this. Shown here are our squat 15
gallon plants we're putting on sale. We do have other sizes
available. Coastal sun is tolerated although strong filtered light
is ok for most areas. This is a great garden palm.

WORLD'S MOST COLD HARDY PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL FIVE GALLON SIZE
There is no doubt in my mind that this species is the most cold tolerant
of any palm species. It is native to the southeastern United States
with native habitats stretching from South Carolina down to northern
Florida and into Alabama and Mississippi. There are reports of
this species tolerating below zero degrees F. Now, this doesn't
mean that you can grow it in Michigan. But, in areas that see
significant cold such as North Carolina, central Texas or even New
Mexico, this species might work for you.
It is a suckering fan palm and known as the "Needle Palm" because it
forms dark colored, protuberant needles on the trunk. One photo
below shows the spines. In sun the leaf color is a silver green
with more silver underneath. In shade the color gets dark green,
reminiscent of a Rhapis Palm. Trunks are usually under
three feet tall and four to six inches thick. But, because the
leaves come upwards, the overall height of the plant can be six to seven
feet or taller. They can get a bit bushy. This is a very
slow growing species.

RAVENEA SAMBIRANENSIS
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
WHEN MATURE, LANDSCAPE SIZED SPECIMEN
TEN DAY SPECIAL FIVE GALLON PLANTS
This species of Ravenea is from both the west and eastern sides
of the Island of Madagascar. It was named after a river on the
island. It is a large and elegant pinnate palm with heights
reportedly up to one hundred feet. Trunk diameter is one foot.
It grows at elevations from sea level to six thousand feet in both dry
and moist native habitats. When younger, this species has flat
erect leaves that go straight upwards. However, with age, this
species produces leaves that are keeled and curve downwards at the ends.
When mature the overall crown is hemispherical with the leaves in the
upper portion of the circle. Because of its large size, this plant
should be considered a major landscape item and not a companion plant.
Photos below show how large this palm is when mature.
I have a limited number of five gallon plants on sale. They should
be grown in an area where they can work their way from strong filtered
light into full sun. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.
They like moisture but need good draining soil. My thanks to TS at
RPS for the photo below.

RADICALIS ON

NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
5 GALLON SIZE NOW AVAILABLE TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
I have not shown this species that often because it's rarely available
and very difficult to find. It is native to Mexico at high
elevations near Chiapas. It is a single trunk, understory palm
that has sort of a thick trunk up to 1.5 or 2 inches. The flowers
are reminiscent of Chamaedorea
radicalis as
they shoot high into the foliage. Its overall appearance is also
similar to the trunking radicalis but
with bigger leaves, wider leaflets and a thicker trunk. It gets up
to about 10 to 15 feet.
It grows in filtered light and seems to be cold hardy into the
mid-twenties at least. We have a limited number of 5 gallons
available (first five photos). Some pots have two plants per
pot - so there's a chance to set some seeds. These can be mail
ordered. I'm also putting them on special. Please appreciate
that this is a super rare species and is seldom offered for sale.
Note that the photos below show several larger plants from the nursery.

CHAMAEDOREA OREOPHILA RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM
TOLERATES SOME SUN - FAIRLY COLD HARDY TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE GALLON PLANTS
This is a great palm for Southern CA and other
areas that may see winter colds into the mid-twenties F. It is native
to southwestern Mexico at high elevations to 4500 feet. It tolerates
bright filtered light or, along the coast, some degree of sun. It is
single trunked with a modified crown shaft and somewhat short green
leaves. It resembles a Chamaedorea eleganson steroids. Trunks are about an inch thick and ringed. In
filtered light trunks remain green. Mature height is about ten feet.
This is an extremely difficult species to find. We happen to have some
plants grown by Don Hodel. The last two photos are by Australian friend
Colin Wilson.

By popular demand I have put this great palm on special. This is the
largest of the King Palm family. It got its name "maxima" by the flower
size, but most have found it to be an aggressive grower, have a larger
trunk and get taller than the other species of King Palms. It does have
silver on the underside of the leaves. The crown shaft is sort of a
yellow, sometimes blue color. It is a quick growing pinnate palm native
to Australia. It's rare to see them available and also hard to find
good photos of this species. I wish to than L.N. below for his picture
of a mature tree. The plants I'm putting on special are band size.

MEDIUM SIZE MATURE
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT AS SHOWN
This is a rare green cycad from China. It is different than the
Sago Palm - smaller and, to me, more attractive. Leaf color is

into the upper teens F. Some feel it's one of the most cold hardy
cycads in the world - even better than the Sago Palm. Mature
height should be about eight feet. They can sucker, but much less
than the Sago. They also take up less garden space than the Sago
Palm. Leaflets are narrow without armor except on the tips
(pointed).
The citrus pot shown in the first five photos has a caudex of 3.5
inches. We also have larger and smaller plants for sale. We

A TYPE OF AIR PLANT - JUST IN TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE CLUSTERS As I've mentioned before, I'm not a Tillandsia
expert. But, I could not pass when a private collector offered me
several clumps of a blue-gray Tillandsia in full blossom. The
blossoms are a violet-blue (photos make them appear a bit pink - which
they are not). I was told by the collector that the
blossom every summer with lots of flowers. The clumps are composed
of ten to fifteen plants. I did my research and they are similar
to Tillandsia recurvata
or neglecta
- But this is only a guess. They'd like sun or part sun and to be
watered at least weekly. They can be mounted to a tree limb, post
or a fence. I've never had or seen this variety before.

CRYOSOPHILA STAURACANTHA THE STAR PALM
MEDIUM SIZE, WHITE UNDERSIDE TO LEAVES A VERY COOL PALM -
PRETTY COLD HARDY
This single trunk fan palm is native to
regions stretching from Mexico through Central America. In the genus,
there are multiple species. All have prominent white powder on the
underside of the leaflets as shown here. Trunks are narrow. Often
you'll see what look like "spines" on the trunk. But, these are a
different structure - they are modified root spines. They are quite
interesting looking. Right on the coast, this species can take full or
part day sun. Most would grow it in bright filtered light. Expect
heights ranging from ten feet to well over twenty feet. Cold hardiness
is into the upper twenties F. Shown here are photos of the 15g size at
the nursery. Notice the white backs to the leaflets. Also shown are
photographs of aCryosophilaunknown
species to show the typical appearance and trunk covered with "spines".
We usually have an assortment of sizes available.
BECCARIOPHOENIX MADAGASCARENSIS MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE MADAGASCAR PALM
SINGLE
TRUNK - GREEN LEAVES VERY SLOW GROWING SPECIES SALE ON 20
GALLON PLANTS
It
took over a decade for taxonomists to figure out how many species of Beccariophoenix there
were in Madagascar. Thirty years ago there were felt to be two.
They were distinguished by the presence or absence of "windows" in the
juvenile leaves and for quite a while were referred to as "windows" and
"no-windows" species by collectors. A third species was
subsequently found in the High Plateau area of Madagascar. This
newer species has been named Beccariophoenix alfredii.
Beccariophoenix madagascarensis is
the original "no windows" species and is a single trunk green palm that
gets to a height of about 30 feet. It has leaves that are green,
upright and about ten feet long. A full crown has about a a dozen
such leaves. There is no crown shaft and the trunk is about 16
inches in width. Although not overly tall, the crown of leaves is
full. It wants full sun and has a cold tolerance in the 25 to 28
degree F. range. I know of multiple specimens here in the San
Diego area. It has been quite difficult nowadays to find with the
lack of importation of Madagascar seeds into the U.S.

HYOPHORBE VERSCHAFELTII
THE SPINDLE PALM WITH ITS CIGAR SHAPED TRUNK
EXOTIC, UNUSUAL
APPEARING AND RARE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
Hyophorbe verschafeltii is known as the Spindle
Palm. It is closely related to Hyophorbe lagenicaulis,
the Bottle Palm. But, the Spindle Palm is a bit more cold hardy
and therefore the one that is a better choice for Southern California.
Most Bottle Palms don’t survive in this ara. Both are native to
the Mascarene Islands. Mature height in many decades is fifteen
feet or a bit more. On the trunk, the Spindle Palm has the bulge
off the ground, somewhere in the middle of a mature trunk. The
Bottle Palm swells at the base and above this gets more narrow.
Cold tolerance of the Spindle Palm is about freezing. The Bottle
Palm gets into trouble below thirty-five degrees. This small
difference makes a huge difference for growers. This species
wants full sun along the coast. Shown below is our 15 gallon size which
we’ve put on special. They are very nicely sized.

PRESTOEA MONTANA AKA PRESTOEA ACUMINATA VAR. MONTANA
RARE PINNATE PALM FROM PUERTO RICO TEN
DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
Prestoea is
a genus that is very closely related to another palm genus, Euterpe. It
is found in the Caribbean, Central and South America. Essentially
all Euterpe are crown shafted palms. Many of the Prestoea are not.
There are also distinctions between the flowers of these two genera.
Also, many of the Prestoea are
suckering. But, there is one that is single trunk. This is Prestoea
montana, native
to mountainous areas of Puerto Rico. I've always known of this
species as not having a crown shaft. But, I've seen photos
(including ones from native habitats) where a crown shaft is seen.
The hallmarks of this species are its wide
and very shiny green leaves, its somewhat slender trunk and its overall
beautiful appearance. Plant heights can reach forty feet or more.
This species should be grown in part day sun or filtered light. It
likes rich soil and ample moisture. I'd estimate its cold
tolerance is down to about a freeze or a bit less. It is not a
species for a beginner to try. We're putting the 15g plants on
special. Note that this species has historically been known as "Prestoea
montana" but
in more recent years has been considered a variety of P.
acuminata. REGULAR PRICE 15G $235 TEN DAY

HOWEA BELMOREANA THE BELMORE SENTRY PALM / CURLY PALM
THE "OTHER TYPE OF KENTIA" TEN DAY
SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This species of single trunk, "non-crown shafted" pinnate palm is native
to medium elevations on Lord Howe Island. At one time is was
possible to import seeds of this desirable palm along with Hedyscepe and Lepidorrhachis.
Because of conservation laws, the island can no longer legally export
seeds or seedlings. This has created a shortage of the more rare
species from this locality. Howea belmoreana is different from the Howea
forsteriana (classic Kentia Palm) as it has curved leaves and an
umbrella-shaped crown. It also might be a bit more cold hardy.
It prefers filtered light or a little sun inland and can take more sun
right on the coast. Cold tolerance is about 24 degrees F.
Growth rate, like the Kentia, is slow. The 15g shown on special
here are fairly nice. The one shown is a double although we also
have some singles. Remember that
this type of Howea is much more rare than the Kentia Palm - and, harder
to find for sale.

NITROGEN LIMITED SUPPLIES AVAILABLE TEN DAY
SPECIAL 7 GALLON PLANT
This is another post to remind readers that we still offer a good supply
of the highly coveted variegated Rhapis
excelsa.
Known as the "Gems of the Orient", these striking plants typically have
yellow or white variegation on green leaves. Most plants at mature
size are three to six feet. There are many exotic varieties - most
popular in Japan where affluent collectors compete to obtain the most
striking plants. Propagation is by divisions only. So, one
must mother plants for divisions so you'd have a plant to sell.
The plant on Ten Day
Special is from a cutting from a mother plant. It's well
established and has attractive white longitudinal stripes on a green
leaflet. It's in a 7 gallon pot and can be shipped. It's
shown in the first five photos followed by other pictures of nursery
plants/leaves. These white stripes are on some but not all
leaflets. The plant shown here will sucker over time. Also,
one must be careful to "starve" these variegates as too much Nitrogen
will drown out the variegation.

SYNECANTHUS FIBROSUS THE JELLYBEAN PALM
SHADE PREFERRED - THIN TRUNK SLOW GROWING - MATURE HEIGHT 10 TO 12 FEET TEN DAY SPECIAL 20 YEAR OLD PALM
This near impossible to find single trunk palm
has a mature height that qualifies it as a dwarf palm - rarely over
twelve feet. The trunk is thin, about 2 inches, the leaves are pinnate
and the leaflets are a bit variable in width. Leaf color is green. I
have maybe two mature flowering trees for sale. They came from a
fruiting tree in my garden. Age is at least 20 years. Seeds are yellow
to cream colored and the size of a large marble. You'll see below the
thin ringed trunk. The crown shaft is very different appearing. Also
note that this palm is throwing a flower. I doubt that any other
nursery in the country has one like this for sale. It wants a tiny bit
of sun or filtered light. Cold hardiness is below a freeze. This is
not a species that I regularly offer for sale. It's a good substitute
for a single trunk Chamaedorea. Garden photo c/o Palmpedia.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 20 YEAR OLD PALM $275
HOWEA BELMOREANA THE SENTRY OR UMBRELLA PALM
ANOTHER PALM FROM LORD HOW ISLAND TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
There is a second endemic species of Howea
on Lord Howe Island. This is Howea belmoreana. Common
names used to describe this species include the Sentry Palm, the Belmore
Palm, the "Kentia Palm", and even the Umbrella Palm. However, the
name "Kentia Palm" is usually used to refer to the H. forsteriana. Howea
belmoreana comes from a higher elevation in its natural habitat
compared to the H. forsteriana. And, given this fact, one
might expect that this species is a little more cold tolerant.
Most growers have found this to be true, tolerating temperatures to
about 25 degrees F.
The main difference between this palm and the
standard Kentia is that the crown of leaves are quite curved pointing
downwards toward the grown. This gives the crown an overall
umbrella appearance. Like the H. forsteriana, the Belmore
Palm doesn't like full sun if away from the Coast and is rather slow
growing. Most find it to be slower than the regular Kentia Palm.
Culture is similar and there is little data on the transplant of this
species, but I suspect it will perform about the same as the standard
Kentia.

Many of you may know of Euterpe edulis, a thin solitary palm with
a long green crown shaft. However, in Southern Brazil and possibly
northern Argentina, there is a form of this species that has a prominent
orange crown shaft. Considered by some to be "Euterpe sp.
espiritosantensis", others feel it is a variety of E. edulis.
It has a think trunk and a three foot long crownshaft. It wants to
be grown in filtered light and to work its way into partial direct
sunlight. Cold tolerance is about a freeze. This is a slow
growing palm and near impossible to find available. We presently
have a very limited number of two gallon plants. They were
repotted in winter. In the spring of last year we had a few 5

This species is native to the Ituri Forest in the Congo in Central
Africa. It is extremely rare to see it offered for sale.
This cycad would not be as cold hardy as plants further south in South
Africa. But, it should take weather into the mid-twenties F. E.
ituriensis is known for its long, upright leaves reaching well over
twelve to fourteen feet tall. It towers over E. whitelockii in
terms of length. Leaflets are armed and narrow. The plants
on special are four years old and carrying about four leaves. They
are four to five years old. If you search the Net for photos of
this species, they are essentially nonexistent. This is because of
political instability of the area, remote native location and the risk
of Ebola infection. Certainly, this has hampered availability of
this species worldwide.

It is a plant that is super colorful. It may look like the
Hawaiian Ti plant. But, it is totally different. This
species is a dischitous type plant. Its leaves are in one single
plane - from the front is totally seen and wide but from the side it is
narrow. It's similar to a Traveler Palm in this way. Also,
it is a rhizomitous plant. It grows from rhizomes in the ground.
So, it is suckering! Leaves are wide like the Hawaiian Ti
but the color is shown more on older leaves. They are purple-red.
Leaf stems are a colorful red.
Mature height is
four to seven feet and it will take coastal sun. Inland areas

This is an adorable small, single trunk,
understory palm from Southern Mexico that is typically about two feet
tall. In habitat, it has been known to attain a height of three to four
feet. Trunks are quite thin, usually about a quarter of an inch thick.
Leaves are complete (simple) with no divided leaflets. It is closely
related toChamaedorea
geonomiformis, just smaller. The lumping type taxonomists must
drool at the possibility of someday lumping the two together. It is
rarely seen on the market. Recently we got in about five of these and
they sold the same day. But, I still wanted to show them to you. It
wants filtered light and has a cold hardiness somewhere in the
mid-twenties F. Because of its rarity, little is offered about culture
in reference books. Anticipate in the future that, from time to time,
we'll have small plants available.

untouched. Because of this I pursued seeds and grew more. We've sold a
lot of this beautiful palm since then. It is native to Puerto Rico,
Hispaniola and a few other islands. You'll note the absence of the
super swollen base often seen with other species. It likes full sun,
enjoys ample water and can get to heights over forty feet. More
recently, availability has been less plentiful but we plan to carry them
as much as we can. Shown here are mature specimens of this species. In
recent times we've had no seeds available but got in some about 6 months

BURRETIOKENTIA VIEILLARDII THE TIGER PALM - STRIPED CROWN SHAFT
ANOTHER SPECIES OF THIS GREAT GENUS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This species
of Burretiokentia comes
from the highest elevation of the three species of this genus from New
Caledonia. It grows at altitudes of almost 4000 feet. It has
a thin trunk of about six inches and can get to sixty feet tall.
It has a prominently bulging crown shaft that is known for it's
diagonally dark markings. Thus, the name "Tiger Palm". The
crown shaft is reddish-brown in color and has prominent striations as
shown below. Younger trunks are green with rings unless exposed to
sun.
The crown of this species is full and
round with upright and arching leaves. Leaf length is about eight
feet, leaflet length is three feet and the leaves are flat in cross
section. Some would argue that this species is the prettiest of
all Burretiokentia.
Culture is similar to the other Burretiokentia, but
I'd give it more shade when young and let it "grow into the sun" rather
than starting it in direct sunlight. As with all New Caledonian
species, ample water is crucial. Under-watered plants do not do
well. Although limited, we do offer various sizes for sale.
I've shown not only nursery plants here but also some mature specimens.

As many of you know,
the late Luis Hooper was one of the all-time greats when it came to
hybridizing Rhapis palms.
The plants on special here are from a cross that he did. He
crossed male Rhapis humilis pollen
to a female Rhapis multifida.He then backcrossed this hybrid
to pure female Rhapis multifida.This cross as far as I know has been done by no one else and is
unbelievably rare.Now that
he’s gone, they’ll probably never be available again.Plants will have thin
trunks, leaflets will be green and narrow. Leaflet tips will be
pointed. It'll be a filtered light plant that is cold hardy well
into the mid-twenties, probably colder. Expect a mature height of
about ten to fifteen feet. This is a very rare palm to see
offered. We only have a couple of 5 gallon left. The photos

NORMANBYA NORMANBYI
TALL, THIN TRUNK, CROWN SHAFTED PINNATE PALM FROM AUSTRALIA
SIMILAR TO THE FOXTAIL PALM BUT THINNER TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This exotic and single trunk pinnate palm is from the Queensland area of
Australia and nearby New Guinea. It is the only species of this
genus. In habitat, it prefers moist areas and can attain a height
of over fifty feet with a trunk that is four to six inches thick.
The crown shaft has black colored tomentum. Leaves are six to
eight feet long, pinnate is a slightly plumose fashion. Leaflets
are irregular, sometimes wedge shaped with jagged apices and the
underside of the leaflets is silver.One could confuse this species with another Queensland palm, Wodyetia
bifurcata. Normanbya has
wider leaflets, a thinner trunk and the underside of Wodyetia leaflets
is never silver. Normanbya can tolerate full sun right
along the coast but otherwise should be considered a part day sun or
strong filtered light plant. Cold tolerance is down to about
freezing.
Shown here is a 5g plant which we’re putting on
special.This species is
near impossible to find at nurseries.Although I don't have a photo of it, I know of a Normanbya in
the Clairmont area of San Diego that is in full sun with about twenty
feet of trunk, looking very nice.

SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZED PLANTS
This interesting hybrid originated in Thailand by a grower and
propagator of rare palms. It is a cross between the common Queen
Palm and an unusual type of palm from the same genus, Syagrus
schizophylla. The offspring have proven to be quite beautiful
and have good cold tolerance. These will be a medium sized palm.
The trunk will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size
will be less. The attached photos of near mature plants show how
pretty it is. Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the
Queen Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm.
For many years now we’ve only had large plants for sale.This is because the hybridizer is no longer making hybrid seeds.But, a different hybridizer has done this cross and now we can
offer young plants at a semi-affordable price.
This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a cold
hardiness estimated to be in the low 20's F. Mature height should
be about 25 feet.

RHOPALOSTYLIS SAPIDA
THE NIKAU PALM
NEW ZEALAND PALM - BULGING CROWN SHAFT
A FAVORITE OF ALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
Native stands of Rhopalostylis
sapida are
found in temperate parts of New Zealand and also on coastal areas of
Chatham and South Islands. In these localities it is found in
shaded forests and in the more moist bottoms of mountainous gullies.
One does not see it at high elevation where severe cold may be seen.
Rather it's in the coastal and warmer regions. Being a slow
growing species, it is reported that it takes ten to fifteen years in
habitat before one begins to see a formed trunk. One report done
by the New Zealand government reported that it took forty years to show
trunk and that ten meter trees were 200 years old. The point here
is that, as a species, the Nikau Palm is slow growing in its natural
habitat. Soil in the area is good draining and rainfall is ample
This is a single trunk palm that has green, upright leaves. The
hallmarks of this plant are the upright pointing leaves and the swollen
crown shaft. Almost always, the crown shaft is prominently larger
in diameter than the trunk. The trunk has rings from old leaf
attachments. Overall height after many decades is 25 to 35 feet
or, on old specimens, even more. Trunk diameter is eight to twelve
inches. Leaves are usually eight to twelve feet long. Growth
rate is slow. Of note, we’re putting starter plants – seedlings in
bands on a Ten Day Special.

hot direct sun. Leaves are green and leaflets are armed with small
spines. Many say the leaves look like a Holly Fern. Mature,
this is a medium sized cycad that likes either filtered light inland or
some sun along the coast. But, it's best not to grow it in
full sun anywhere locally as leaves tend to get a lime green color.
Cold hardiness is down to the low 20's F. This species doesn’t get
too large. A caudex of 18 inches may take a few decades to achieve
with a height of maybe six to eight feet to the top of the leaves.
The bands on sale are about 3 to 4 years old.

does great in Southern California but is rare and hard to find.
New leaves tend to be upright. Most pronounced is the "frost"
appearance of leaves as shown below. This is from small hairs on
the leaflets. It makes a medium to large mature specimen.
Mature size can be over fifteen feet with 6 to 10 foot green
leaves. Leaflets are armed. Along the coast it’ll take full sun. Far
inland I’d recommend limited sun. Cold tolerance is down to the low

CYCAS DEBAOENSIS
MULTIPINNATE, SMALL CAUDEX, LONG LEAVES
YES, SEEDLINGS OF
THE REAL THING!
FIRST TIME OFFERED FOR TWENTY YEARS
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
In my opinion, this is one of the most desirable cycad species
introduced in the past several decades. It was formally described
in 1996. Native to China, it is a plant with a rather small
caudex, typically under a foot in size, but with long leaves that
stretch upwards and will divide to the third order. Some argue
that it's just "bi-pinnate", but if you research pictures of the leaves,
there is a small stem leading to two or three leaflets. Therefore,
I consider it to be "tri-pinnate". In other words, the main stem
will fork and that branch will fork again, this last stem holding the
leaflets.. The Caryota palm
divides to the second order and is considered to be multipinate as well.
With this branching, this species produces a very tropical and exotic
appearing leaf.
It typically will hold two to four leaves, but has
been reported to hold as many as ten leaves. Length of these can
reach ten feet. They tend to go straight upwards, flexing down
over time. Cycas debaoensis prefers
filtered light and is cold hardy to the lower 20's F. For the
first time in a few decades, we are offering seedlings for sale.These were domestically produced and definitely the real thing.I've shown other plants of this species before, but such a
beautiful plant cannot be shown too many times. At
nurseries, this is considered super rare and is always hard to find.

PANDANUS UTILUS
THE SCREW PINE
THE BEST
AND ONE OF THE FEW PANDANUS GOOD FOR THIS AREA
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON PLANTS
Pandanus utilus is called the Screw
Pine but is not a pine at all. It's actually a monocot (similar to
palms) and native to Madagascar, the Mauritius Islands and some
surrounding areas. It gets it's name by the arrangement of leaves
which come off the trunk in spiraling fashion, always the same
direction. Thus, the leaves spin off at different angles in a
swirl. Leaves are rather thin and have spines along the margins.
The trunk on this species is quite amazing. It forms aerial roots
(sausage like) that come to the ground for stability. Trunks fork
and form multiple heads of leaves. Trunks can also be quite
smooth, almost snakeskin-like. It has large fruit clusters that
are bigger than grenades. But, it is a dioecious species and you
need a male and female plant to set viable seeds.Leaf color is green with a sheen of blue.Overall height is variable, but old specimens can easily be over
thirty feet tall with lots of branches. It takes sun or part sun.
Cold tolerance is probably in the mid-twenties F. We are offering
only a few 15g as shown that we have in stock.This is an extremely rare species to find for sale. REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON $225

ASTROCARYUM MEXICANUM
SINGLE TRUNK SPINY PALM
VERY RARE PALM TO FIND
SPINES ON TRUNKS AND STEMS
Astrocaryum
is a genus of spiny palms that are native to areas extending from
Mexico, down through Central America and into some Caribbean Islands.
Some are single trunk while others sucker. Astrocaryum mexicanum
is remarkable because it doesn't get too tall and is probably the only
species of the genus that can be grown in Southern California. Trunks,
leaf stalks, flower stalks and even the seed clusters can be spiny.
Leaves are green with some silver color to their undersides. The last
row of pictures here shows how leaves are silver underneath and the
entire plant can appear a silver-green. It is very attractive and
tropical appearing and almost impossible to find at a nursery. When you
get one, I'd recommend growing it in filtered light. Mature height is
typically under ten feet. The first specimen shown has about ten feet
of spiny trunk and would be considered very large for a garden. The
second plant is the last tow is more typical of what you might see in a
garden. We occasionally have small plants for sale when we can get
seeds to germinate. But, they sell quickly and availability is
sporadic. Cold tolerance is probably just below a freeze.
POTTING UP A NEW PALM SEEDLING PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING TECHNIQUE - VEITCHIA SEEDLINGS
If you follow the techniques given in the
article above, you will end up having seedlings that will need repotting
into a growing container. Shown here are some vigorous Veitchia
seedlings that were germinated in a flat. Flats are not our favorite
for germinating (are not deep containers) but, for conservation of
space, was what we used for these seeds. You can see in the first two
photos that these are well developed with about two or three leaves. We
prefer to have several leaves before we repot seedlings.
Photographs three to five show the seedlings
after they've been removed from the germinating flat. Note the compact
and nice roots on the seedlings. You must be careful when removing each
seedling to protect the roots. Cutting or damaging the roots can lead
to damping off after removal.
The last photo shows the seedling after
being repotted into a one gallon. Sometimes we put seedlings into our
band containers ( 3 x 3 x 9 inches), but Veitchias typically
are large, strong seedlings and respond better in a larger pot. Of
course, after potting up seedlings, water immediately and put them into
filtered light. Over time, you can give them more sun exposure.
I hope this helps you have successful growing of your small new palms.

This single trunk, shade loving palm is from
the Veracruz area of Mexico and named after a German botanist, Johann
Klotzsch. The plant shown here has reached its mature height of twelve
feet. It has a prominently ringed but narrow green trunk.The most remarkable characteristic of
this species is the grouping of leaflets along the rachis. These groups
are irregularly spaced. Also note how they leaflets are held at
different angles from the rachis. Leaflets are a dark green, small to
medium in length, wide and a bit puffy. It's this grouping of leaflets
that allows you to ID this species.
Another surprising this is how hard it is to find this species. When I
started my nursery 42 years ago, I had lots of these and seeds were
available. Nowadays you can't find seeds to save your soul.This is a shade loving species and
cold hardy into the mid-twenties F. At best perhaps it'd take down to

It was not too long ago when Beccariophoenix was felt to be a
monotypic genus with only one species. Now it is recognized that
there are three different species:
Beccariophoenix species "windows", presently called Beccariophoenix
fenestralis. Beccriophoenix madagascarensis, previously known as "Beccariophoenix
no windows" Beccariophoenix alfredii, a more recently named species.
All three are single trunk, medium to large plants from Madagascar.
Along the coast, all can take full sun. Estimated cold hardiness
is into the mid and perhaps lower 20's F. The species we're
putting on special is the 5g size of the "windows" variety, B.
fenestralis. You'll not see these around hardly at all in Southern
California. This "windows" form has leaf openings, similar to
small window panes, in the leaf - between the leaflets. With time
these disappear and it becomes a pinnate palm. The 5 gallon on special

TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE BAND SIZE PLANTS
I don't know if you've looked for this species, but the Cliff
Date Palm is not so easy to find. It is native to India
and is about half the size of the Canary Island Palm in terms of
trunk diameter and mature height. Also, the crown is much
smaller. It is an armed species and has other
characteristics of Phoenix like the induplicate leaflets
(water held "in" - V shaped ). But, many think this is the
prettiest of all the Date Palms. It typically gets fifteen
to twenty-five feet tall. The leaves are very pretty and
green. The crown is not overly large. Leaves curve
downwards. Growth rate is medium, it tolerates full sun and is
cold hardy into the mid-twenties or lower. Shown below are
absolutely huge plants in a band container.We’re putting them on special.This is a good buy.

This species of a green cycad can be grown in the garden or as an
interior palm. Although you can't tell from the photos here, this
cycad species can get quite tall. I've seen photos from habitat
with what appears to be over 20 feet of trunk. But,
such heights would require several centuries to occur. Dioon
spinulosumis native to tropical areas in
Mexico where it grows in limestone forests. Trunks don't get
overly thick, typically 12 to 14 inches thick. With age, this can
be more. Leaves are green and mildly armed. Leaf length is
about six feet. My preference is to grow this species in filtered
light. Cold tolerance is into the mid twenties F. At the

BROMELIADS - LOW PROFILE GARDEN COLOR NEOROGELIA BONANZA
SUPER COLORFUL - ALL SORTS OF COLORS
SOME WANT SHADE - OTHERS SUN TEN DAY SPECIAL VARIOUS
VARIETIES
Bromeliads are becoming ever increasingly
popular as a colorful companion plant in the garden or as stand alone
color. We've found that
Neorogelia (a type of Bromeliad)
tend to have the most satisfying colors and appeal. We also carry
other types of Bromeliads including "Air Plants". Natively,
Bromeliads live in trees. Their roots only hold them onto whatever
they are growing on. Their roots do not absorb water or nutrition.
With this said, they can also be easily grown in the ground or in pots.
This is because you water them from above (like rain) and keep their
cups full of water. When you re-water in about seven to ten days,
flush out the cup with fresh water. Rarely do you fertilize them.
They live a yearly cycle with the mother plant dying within 12 months -
but then putting out several new baby "pups" which become next years
plants.
Most of the colorful Neorogelia
like filtered light or only a bit of sun. Thus, they are great
color for shady areas. There are some for coastal sun. They
are cold hardy into the mid-twenties F. Immediately below are
photos of many types of Bromeliads used in landscape. Far below
are photos of the Neorogelia
we're putting on special.
NEOROGELIA MEDUSA
See above This is a rosette type Bromeliad. The top
leaves are quite red whereas the lower leaves turn green. Mature

NEOROGELIA RAFAEL

This past weekend I set up two gardens in San
Diego that were toured by members of the Palm Society of Southern
California. Side by side, these two gardens had a fabulous selection of
tropical plants with an emphasis on palm trees. Some of the palm
species were quite rare. I was able to take some photos of these two
adjacent gardens. I am showing more general pictures of species with no
detail photographs. I've tried my best to identify all the plants. The
PSSC is an excellent way to learn about palms and visit great nearby
gardens. I hope you enjoy this presentation.

inches. It is a great species for more inland areas that see a
fair amount of heat. It does love heat and sun. Although
some like to plant this species in colonies of two or three plants, it
looks great as a stand-alone single palm. Because it wants sun, it
should not be put in a shady area. Cold hardiness is about 23 to 25
degrees F.

GREAT GARDEN PLANT AS WELL TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD 25 GALLON PLANT
I haven't been able to offer this superior fan palm as they have not
been available for over five years. But, we do have one or two
very old plants that we were holding in stock and have decided to sell.This is a very rare type of Lady Palm.This species is from China and is often mistaken for Rhapis
humilus. But, it is a smaller species, getting to about 8 feet tall
whereas humilus gets about twice as tall.It performs well inside the home or office and also is quite easy
to grow outside in filtered light.The stems of multifida are much more attractive than the
common Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa. It also carries more
leaflets per leaf than the Lady Palm and is overall a more attractive
plant. The leaflets are narrow and come to a point like Rhapis
humilus. Side by side, the majority of our customers prefer the Rhapis
multifida to the Rhapis excelsa.
Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties or lower, F. Outdoors,
this species prefers filtered light. One must be careful not
to give Rhapis too much fertilizer or leaf burn may occur.
We have a near twenty year old 25 gallon that we’re putting on special.It is too big for standard mail order. BTW, if you start
looking for a comparable plant, the chances are you won't find one.

RAVENEA JULIETIAE
AN EXTREMELY RARE PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
LAST CHANCE TO GET ONE
THIN TRUNK, UPRIGHT ARCHING GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 15 & 25 GALLON SIZES
This is a rather thin trunked, tall pinnate palm that is rarely seen and
native to eastern Madagascar. How I found out about this species
has always made this species special to me. About twenty-five
years ago at a meeting in Florida, just before the book, Palms of
Madagascar, was released, I met and talked to its authors, John
Dransfield and Henk Benjtee, both of Kew Gardens in the U.K. Both
of these taxonomists and field researchers had heard about this unusual Ravenea species.
They drove for hours trying to get a look at it, always with no results.
Out of frustration, they stopped the car on a remote dirt road, got out
the binoculars and started an intense scanning of the horizon, hoping
for a glimpse of this yet to be described species. With them was
Henk's wife, Julie. In frustration, they were about to give up
their search. Then, Henk's wife pointed to a large specimen just
feet from the car and by the side of the road. She said, "Maybe
it's this one". And, it was! Right in front of them was the
specimen they used to describe this species. And, because of her
"assistance", it was named after Julie.
Trunk height is thirty feet with a diameter of only about six inches.
Leaves are recurved a bit and leaflets are widely spaced. Leaf
color is green and leaflets are thin.The leaf stem is green and also thin.We've found this species to be very slow growing. Most
would grow it in coastal sun or at least part day sun. Cold
tolerance is unknown but appears to be in at least the upper 20's F.
This species is near impossible to find.And, because seeds are no longer available and can’t be gotten
from habitat anymore, this species is essentially impossible to find.We’re offering five plants on special – #3 15g and #2 25g plants.
These plants cam from a private collection as we sold out of them last
year. All are large relatively large for their containers
and an estimated 15 years old from seed. This is probably the last time
you’ll see them at this Blog.

From time to time I discuss this interesting single trunk
Chamaedorea. It is very similar to Chamaedorea plumosa -
except: The plumosa has a more plumose leaf and takes a
little more sun. But, the glaucifolia has the silver powder
on the leaf stems and crown shaft as shown here. This is quite
attractive and typically very prominent. Otherwise, you would
mistake the two. They are fast growing and get to a mature height
of about 14 feet. They look their best when planted in colonies of

TEN DAY SPECIAL 1 & 5 GALLON SIZE
The native home of Archontophoenix purpurea is the Mt. Lewis
mountain range in Queensland, Australia. This species is known for
the purple color to the crown shaft. It is found at an elevation
up to 4000 feet. Mature height is quoted to be over fifty feet,
but in habitat and culture I didn't see one this tall. Cold
hardiness is about 25 degrees F. It takes full coastal sun.
The degree of purple in the crown shaft is variable but never "lollipop"
purple. The underside of the leaves is silver and there is ramenta
hairs only on this side. On younger plants the leaf bases and leaf
stem tend to have a yellow color.

As many of you may know, Chamaedorea radicalis is from Mexico.
The classic dwarf form only gets three to four feet tall. The
trunking form shown here easily can reach eight to ten feet. Both
are single trunk palms. Both can tolerate a large amount of sun
and some are growing them in full sun close to the ocean. The
trunking form is a very fast growing plant. It has more narrow
leaflets compared to the dwarf form. Both have long male and
female blossoms that are oriented upwards off the trunk. On the
dwarf form the blossoms often tower above the foliage. Cold
tolerance is into the upper teens F. On this species, over time we
feel that multiple plants planted together in the garden look better.
Shown below are both single and multiples. I'm showing the singles
so you can get a feel for their mature height. We’re putting them

This species is interesting because, in the wild, it is known as a dwarf
species that forms minimal trunk. But, when it is grown
domestically, it forms a trunk about the size of Butia capitata.
It, as you'd guess, comes from Paraguay, with habitats extending into
Brazil and northern Argentina. The color is a blue-green, not as
silver as Butia capitata. The leaves are strongly arched as
shown on the mature plant photo by TS at RPS - this photo also shows the
size of this palm in a domestic garden. I anticipate that cold
hardiness should be at least down to the upper teens F. Culture
includes full sun and good draining soil. We are putting some good

TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND
SIZE
This medium to large fan palm is native to the United
States and an assortment of Caribbean islands including Cuba. It's
native habitat extends as far north as North Carolina. It is
amazingly salt tolerant. In Florida you can see it right up into
the coastal dunes. Its leaves are green in color and it has a
trunk that is of variable heights, ranging from ten feet to up to forty
feet. This is a durable, hardy palm with obvious salt tolerance.
I've also seen palms growing in the sand around ocean beach goers.
It's cold hardiness is into the mid teens F. and it prefers full sun for
optimal growth. However, it does tolerate partial shade.
Also, it can tolerate desert conditions if given adequate water.
Trunks have a "criss-cross" pattern of attached leaf bases. Later
the palm sheds these to show a fairly smooth appearing trunk. With
my comments above, you'd think there are lots of these available in CA.
This is not the case; they are hard to find. We are putting our
band size on Special. Finally, for those of you displaced from
South Carolina, you can bring a little of your state to your present
location by growing this palm. Sabal palmetto is your state tree.

This is an interesting hybrid

specimen in existence (along with offsets and their lineage removed from

pure E. woodii. This hybrid gives people the opportunity to
own a similar plant at a fraction of the cost. Shown is a 25g
plant made from pollinating a female E. natalensis with the
pollen from a male E. woodii. It will make a good sized
plant with cold hardiness down to the low 20's F. It likes sun and
can tolerate heat. We are offering this actual plant for sale.
It has a caudex of 9 inches. It can be mail ordered but we need a

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII
A BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
NO SPINES ON THE LEAFLETS TEN DAY SPECIAL:
BAND SIZE
This is a popular blue cycad from the Eastern
Cape area of South Africa. I say this because some people don't like
spines and prickles. The leaflets of this species are narrow with only
a point at the end. The leaves and crown are very neat and uniform.
The nearest species to this one is Encephalartos princeps. Trunks
can get to five feet, but one with two to three feet of trunk is very
old. Leaves average about four feet long and are sometimes strongly
curled. On occasion, they'll almost do a 180 or more degree re-curve.
Leaf color in sun is intensely blue like E. horridus. But,
you'll only see this color with full, hot sun. In shade or inside a
greenhouse they are often green. Cold hardiness is about 21 to 22
degrees F. In the desert only give it a few hours sun. Next to Encephalartos
horridus, this is the second most popular cycad we grow.
Shown below are the band size which we're putting on sale. Plants have
three, sometimes four leaves. These are a piece of cake to ship, but
only within the U.S. Be aware that we have limited numbers and are
repotting them into cit pots / 5 gallon presently and these won't be

grown in small colonies of two to five individual plants per pot.
This gives a fuller appearance and a lot more color. Along the
coast, the red, orange and purple solid color forms usually tolerate
full or near full coastal sun. On the other hand, varieties with
multicolored leaves - especially with pastel colors - like a bit of sun
or strong filtered light. I feel that the color is even better
after a year or two in sun. They'll go through transitional stress
but almost always come around and look great.
At any given time, we usually have six to eight different types of Ti's.
They take average watering and are cold hardy to a bit below a freeze.
Sever cold will kill them. Far below are examples of plants that
we are presently offering on Special. Immediately below are photos
of Cordylines being used in an assortment of landscape

PRITCHARDIA MINORIN SAN
DIEGO
MATURE AND FRUITING FOR YEARS
THIN TRUNK, MEDIUM HEIGHT
ENABLES US TO OFFER YOU NURSERY PLANTS
I wanted to show you photographs of a maturePritchardia
minorthat's thriving in central San Diego, CA. For
many years our nursery has been selling young plants that come from the
seeds of this mother tree. It is a magnificent specimen. I'd estimate
its height to be fifteen feet with a trunk diameter of eight inches.
Native to the Island of Kaui in HI, this tree is quite rare and grows at
high elevation in locality. It tolerates full sun here if you are not
too far inland. I've seen this species in habitat and the one shown in
the first three rows of photos (San Diego) is taller than ones I've seen
in the wild. I figure its culture that made it this large. The last
row shows some photos of plants we have for sale and a specimen of this
species in HI. Although availability changes over time, we hope that we
can continue to offer this unique species in the future.
ASSORTEDPRITCHARDIASPECIES THE HAWAIIAN PALM
OLD AND NICE SPECIMENS IN LARGER POTS
MULTIPLE SPECIES AVAILABLE
Pritchardiaare a tropical fan palm. Most
do not get overly large and many are under fifteen feet tall.
Along the coast they tolerate full sun. There are about 25
species with habitats ranging from Hawaii to some South Pacific
islands. We only grow the Hawaiian varieties as they do the
best in Southern California where most will take coastal full
sun. Or, grow them in part day sun. Cold tolerance is in the
mid-twenties or a bit lower.
I'm showing you three different species that are representative
of this genus. all are between ten and fifteen years old and in
25 gallon pots or 24 inch boxes. All have some degree of
trunk. On pair are over 14 feet tall in their pots. We have a
pretty good supply of such large specimen Pritchardiuas.
Almost all are outdoor grown in sun. Leaves on some species are
totally flat. Others have a wave to the leaf. Some are colored
on the undersides. There's a perfect Hawaiian Palm for anyone.
These are way too big and tall for mail order but can be
trucked. We have about eight different species of Pritchardia
in these sizes.
COCONUT
QUEEN PALM
DESIRABLE SYAGRUS HYBRID ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE BOXED PLANTS This interesting hybrid originated in Thailand by a grower and
propagator of rare palms. It is a cross between the common Queen
Palm and an unusual type of palm from the same genus, Syagrus
schizophylla.
The offspring have proven to be quite beautiful and have good cold
tolerance. These will be a medium to large palm. The trunk
will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size will be less.
The attached photos of mature plants show how pretty it is.Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the Queen
Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm.
This is a very rare hybrid to come across.
We’re putting huge 24 inch boxes on sale.They are about 12 feet tall in their box.This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a

filtered light but can tolerate some sun along the coast. Compared
to the trunking form, you'll note the leaflets are darker green and
wider. Blossoms often protrude above the leaves when it's in
flower. Cold hardiness is the upper teens F. It grows great
in cooler areas like the SF Bay area. We have a few 15g which

arranged in three ranks - "tristichous". Trunk diameter is
about 8 inches and the crown shaft is a rusty-silver color and not
elongated. It is a difficult species to find nowadays. I'd
recommend growing it in full sun along the coast. I'd estimate
cold hardiness to be in the mid to upper twenties F. We have nice

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA SINGLE TRUNK MOUNTAIN FORM
BEST GROWING SPECIES OF THE GENUS
RESEMBLES THE KENTIA PALM TEN TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
When one considers the species Laccospadix
australasica, he has to realize that there are different forms
depending on native habitats and localities. There are also single
trunk and suckering forms. The one for sale here is the single
trunk mountain form. I feel it's the best subspecies one can
purchase. It doesn't throw the new red leaf although
occasionally you see a bit of bronze in the new leaf (as shown below).
This variety of the L. australasica is fairly easy to grow in our area.
I can’t predict if your plant will sucker or not. The seeds for these
plants today came from a local flowering tree here in Encinitas.
This variety has thinner leaves that are dull green in color, trunks
about six inches thick and reaches a height of 20 feet or a bit more.
It sort of looks like a Kentia Palm. I'd recommend morning sun,
strong filtered light or perhaps several hours of daily sun. Cold
tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. As shown below, sometimes
we’ll plant more than one to a pot.

CYPHOPHOENIX ELEGANS
THE ELEGANT PALM
MEDIUM SIZE – THIN TRUNK – CROWN SHAFTED
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
This species is from New Caledonia in the northern part of the island.
It is of similar height to C. nucele and has the same trunk
diameter. The crown shaft on C. elegans is slightly more
swollen than that of C. nucele. The crown shaft is also
more of a green color, but can show silver. The leaflets are
thinner and, as you can see, the leaves curve downward as opposed to the
stiff, upright leaves of nucele. Another important
difference between the two is that the leaves of C. elegans are
keeled whereas the leaves of nucele are more flat. Of note,
on both species the bare petiole (stem with no leaves) is very short.
This helps you identify this genus.
Shown here are our 2 gallon sized plants that I photographed recently.
Also shown are lots of photos of mature plants. This species
should be started in filtered light and be allowed to grow into some sun
if you live along the coast. Inland full sun is too harsh for this
species. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.

This single trunk, white crown-shafted palm comes from the island of New
Caledonia. There is grows in locations from sea level to 2000
feet. It is a medium sized plant best known for its white crown
shaft. Known for decades as a monotypic species "Veillonia
alba",
in the past decade taxonomists decided renamed it Cyphophoenix alba.Trunk diameter is thin, about six inches. Height is about
forty feet, sometimes taller. This species is known to grow in
better areas of Southern California. The crown shaft is covered
with either white or red-brown tomentum and is striking. Prominent
rings are seen on the trunk. The leaves are green and overall, the
crown is a medium size. I would recommend growing this is filtered
light and let it work its way into a bit more sun. Cold tolerance
is into the mid-twenties F. As this species is super rare and hard
to find, if you get one you have to be careful with it. It would
be difficult to replace is you lose it through poor culture.We have put 5 gallon on sale.They are last spring repots so we’re offering a nice discounted

This semi-dwarf pinnate palm gets to a height of ten to twelve feet
domestically and is single trunk and has no crown shaft. It is
native to montane forests in Brazil and is near extinct in the wild.
It is rarely seen offered for sale. The more frequently seen
species of this genus is Lytocaryum
weddellianum, also from Brazil
rainforests. The latter is a much smaller plant than L.
hoenii and rarely gets to ten feet. Hoenii
has a more robust appearance, a bit thicker trunk and wider leaflets.
Here I'm showing 2g plants of Lytocaryum
hoenii that we’re
putting on species.We rarely, if every, can offer this
species. Lytocaryum is a
filtered light genus with a cold tolerance in the mid-twenties F.
I've found from experience that Lytocaryum seem
to thrive on neglect. Too much water, fertilizer or attention
seems to not be right for them. Just plant one, don't pay
attention to it other than average watering, and they seem to do fine.

This versatile green cycad is a mainstay of every cycad collection.
There's not a cycad enthusiast who's not growing this species. It
is native to the Eastern Cape in South Africa. There it is found
in various regions with differences in plant appearance from area to
area. Thus, there are probably about six varieties of this
species, all a bit different. So, when you see an Encephalartos
natalensis in a garden, it may look a bit different than the next
one you see. Trunks get up to twenty feet in a century or
two. Leaves are five to eight feet long, straight or minimally arched,
and more compact in bright sun. Growth rate is medium to fast.
I'd consider this a medium to large species. Cold tolerance is
about 22 degrees F.The

SPECIAL 5 & 15 GALLON SIZE Throughout my
career, I've always known this plant as Philodendron selloum.
The same is true for most nurserymen. But, when researching it,
I've found lots of other names and even genera used to taxonomically
identify this species. So, keeping it simple, I'll not go there
but rather say that this is a large leaf Philodendron that can
climb up a tree trunk or stand alone all by itself. It is native
to South America. It can grow in coastal sun or in the shade.
It's got a trunk that is usually six inches thick or less and puts out
thick hanging roots that assist in grabbing anything to support the
crown. Leaves are green, heavily divided and can be four feet long
and three feet wide. Leaves are not as large as the much more
rare Philodendron evansii.Selloum is easy to grow.

There's something about having a water feature in

movement, sound or just appearance. But, people will go to great
lengths to make it perfect. I've had customers create 100 foot long
streams, rock mountains with waterfalls into pools, coy ponds, or
simple circulating ponds. I even had one who put in a volcano waterfall

a blue iridescence or even blue leaflet backs on this species.

RAVENEA HILDEBRANDTII SEMI-DWARF PINNATE COMORO ISLAND PALM
VERY HARD TO FIND SPECIES – TO EIGHT FEET TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This endangered semi-dwarf palm species is from the Comoro Islands,
close to Madagascar. It has a very thin trunk. Although reports of
twenty foot palms in habitat exist, in most domestic gardens don't
expect anything over ten feet in a lifetime. Trunk diameter is two
to three inches. Leaf size is three to four feet. Most have
grown this species in part day sun or filtered light. However, I
have one customer growing it well in full sun. Cold hardiness is
in the mid-twenties F.
Below I am showing our offering of 5 gallon plants which we have
available and are putting on a Ten Day Special. This palm does fine in
Southern California and is the ultimate of pinnate leaf palms where
"short" is needed. I've shown below several shots of mature garden
specimens to illustrate this species height.

CHAMAEDOREA
COSTARICANA ONE OF THE BEST BAMBOO PALMS
EASY TO GROW - A GREAT INTERIOR PALM TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE This
suckering palm species is native to Mexico and Central America. It
is one of about four types of "Bamboo Palms" and is probably either the
best or in a stiff competition with Chamaedorea hooperiana. This
species gets to a mature height of twelve to sixteen feet, has strong 1
inch to 1.5 inch trunks which are green in color with prominent rings,
and about three to four foot long leaves. It is an upright grower
and does clump. It doesn't run. It takes filtered light or
morning sun along the coast. I've even heard of some growing it in
full sun although I'd not recommend it. It is a good growing
species. Cold hardiness is into the mid to lower 20's F.

BRAHEA NITIDA
FLAT GREEN LEAF - NATIVE TO MEXICO
CAN TOLERATE LESS THAN FULL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G PLANTS
This interesting fan palm is native to Mexico, where it lives in the
western portion of the country in mountainous areas. Its
distribution extends down into Guatemala. It attains a height of
thirty feet with a stout trunk of one foot diameter. The most
attractive thing about this palm are its circular leaves, with only
partial division of the segments. This is particularly apparent
when it is grown in filtered light. In sun, the leaves are
less flat and more divided. When grown in shade, sometimes this
species reminds me of a "Licuala-looking" palm in its leaf
appearance.
Cold hardiness is at least into the
mid-twenties F. It may in fact be more cold hardy. The
leaves are a shiny green with a white discoloration on the underside of
the leaves. The petioles are essentially un-armed. From time
to time we have this species available. Shown here are nice 5g
which I'm putting on sale. The close up of the petioles
shows the lack of armor. Note the minimal division of the
leaflets. The plant in the garden below shows more circular, flat
near entire leaves. Compare this to the habitat photo, which was
taken by a friend of mine, Justen Dobbs, in habitat and in full sun.
The leaves in full sun are more divided and not as tropical appearing.

TRITHRINAX CAMPESTRIS BLUE, SUCKERING FAN PALM VERY COLD HARDY
LIMITED NUMBER OLD SUCKERING 5G TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This South American suckering fan palm comes
from Argentina and Uruguay. From these locations, you might
suspect it could have quite a bit of cold hardiness, and this is the
case with not only this species of Trithrinax,but of the genus as a whole. Availability
of seeds of this species has been sparse to nonexistent. And, as a
young plant, it is quite slow growing. Consequently, to get a good
sized container plant can take a decade or more. We were fortunate
to offer some very nice 5g plants as shown below. I'd estimate
their age at 7 years. They are dividing and very chunky at the
base. They are totally acclimated to full hot sun and are
intensely blue. This is a perfect selection for someone who lives
in an interior area with lots of heat.
Overall height of this species is up to twenty feet. Multiple
stems are produced, but usually the number is just several. Leaves
are small, typically about two feet wide. The segments of the
leaves are pointed and sharp. Trunks retain old leaf bases but,
like Washingtonia, eventually fall
off. This is a drought tolerant species and can take temperatures
well into the 100's F. and cold tolerance is into the teens. Of
note, most specimens I've seen are blue. The last two photos show
a mature plant that is blue-green in color, probably due to the fact
that it's not getting full sun.

Archontophoenix teracarpa
is a fictitious name given to an unknown species/type of King Palm that
I have in my garden and no one can identify. I've been collecting
seeds from it for quite a few years and offering it for sale.
Everyone who gets one agrees - "It's the best King Palm ever!" It
got the name from the Latin "Large body", which it has. After
trying to identify the species over many years and with no success, we
coined the name "Archontophoenix teracarpa". The closest
species to it would be A. maxima but it's not the same. So,
what are the differences that makes teracarpa more ideal?
It is faster growing It gets taller than the regular King Palm It tolerates full sun better It doesn't brown tip in full sun It has a blue crown shaft It has a super thick trunk
The band size plants are about 3-4 years old and huge – about 2 feet

ENCEPHALARTOS LANATUS A RARE BLUE CYCAD FROM SOUTH AFRICA
LOVES HEAT AND SUN – VERY THIN LEAFLETS TEN
DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This beautiful South African species of cycad is best known for the
silvery throw of new leaves that it displays. It has a medium
sized trunk, usually to a maximum height of six feet. It does
sucker from the base. Leaves are about three feet long and arching
downward. The leaflets are very narrow and essentially unarmed.
When new leaves emerge they are a brilliant silver in color. I was
absolutely stunned by the beauty of this species the first time I saw a
mature plant throw new leaves. As they age, they become more of a
blue green color.
The native locality for this species experiences
extremes in weather from very high summer heat to definite freezes in
winter. In the garden, this species demands sun. I'd
estimate cold hardiness to be in the low 20's. It is a good
species for those in cooler areas who still get summer heat. .
Shown here is a citrus pot sized plant
that has a caudex of 2.75 inches.
Remember that rare cycads are sold by their caudex size. We’re offering nice prices on this size.If you buy one and it’s a bit smaller caudex

ENCEPHALARTOS TRANSVENOSUS X
WOODII
THE HYBRID THAT LOOKS MOST LIKE WOODII
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND TEN DAY
SPECIAL ON THE ONE THAT WE HAVE
Encephalartos woodii is
probably the most or at least one of the most rare cycads in the world.
Females of this species are not known to exist - there are only male
plants in domestic & botanical gardens. To obtain one you must get an
offset from a suckering mature plant. They are extremely difficult to
find, carry a high risk of dying even if you do everything correctly and
are always unbelievably expensive. Nowadays offsets (unrooted) are
going for near $20,000 US dollars. Yes, there are buyers lined up.
Historically, as it is most closely related to
E. natalensis, attempts at
hybridizing this species has be with
Encephalartos natalensis. In my
experience, such hybrids tend to look more like the natalensis
parent than the woodii.
However, when the woodii pollen is applied to an Encephalartos transvenosus,
the leaves and leaflets more closely resemble the E. woodii
parent.
We have only one such cross presently at the
nursery. It's a 15g plant with a 7 inch caudex. See photos below. I
have no photos of a mature plant of this cross but am showing the two
parent species in the third row of photos. This plant can be mail

HOW DOES ONE TELL IF HIS PALM IS DEAD?
IS MY PALM STILL GROWING?
HOW FAST IS IT GROWING?
MARK THE NEW SPEAR!
It is surprising that many palm enthusiasts
don't know how to tell if their palm is alive or dead after some type of
insult such as severe cold. It's simple to determine if the plant is
alive and growing. Mark the central newest spear side by side while
marking an adjacent fully extended leaf. See the photo. Then watch for
the two moving apart. The line of the new spear moves upward while the
adjacent mark on the full size leaf stays the same. Look at the
difference movement of the new spear over time. You can also tell how
fast it's growing. During the growing season (when warm), most palms
will show a quarter of an inch or more of vertical new spear growth per
day. To confirm a serious problem, you'd note that there is no movement
of the spear over several weeks. But, if the new leaf spear is green,
don't give up. Just give it an extended period of time and watch for
movement. The photo shown here is of a marked spear on a 15 gallon
Dypsis decaryi. Note the horizontal black permanent marker
marks. The new spear is on the left in the photo.
BAD PALM SEEDS?
HOW CAN YOU TELL?
THE FLOAT TEST
THE PINCH TEST
CUT THE SEED OPEN
Many people love to germinate palm seeds and
make their plants. But, there are a few things you need to now right
from the beginning if you want to successfully germinate.
1. Get fresh seeds. Right off the tree is best.
2. Pick seeds that are mature, often colorful. Green seeds germinate
poorly.
3. Remove the fruit from the seeds until you have a clean, often tan
colored inner seed. Fruit can contain chemicals that retard
germination.
4. Pinch test seeds. Take the picked seeds (with or without fruit) and
squeeze hard between two fingers. They should never collapse.
5. Float Test the seeds. Palm seeds almost always sink in water.
Floaters are almost always bad. Inner cavities of rot within the seed
make them float.
6. Cut open a few seeds. The fruit should be white or light tan, solid
and without signs of rot. And, you definitely do not want to see inner
cavities.
7. Always soak the cleaned seeds in pure water, especially if you had
seeds shipped to you. This rehydrates them. If seeds are right off a
tree and the fruit is moist and fresh, soaking is not necessary. But,
they would still be cleaned of any fruit.
Photos here show seeds with fruit, the float test with floaters and
sinkers and a few seeds cut open showing inner cavities (a bad sign).

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
I haven't been able to offer smaller sizes of this superior fan palm as
they have not been available for over five years. But, we do
presently have some nice 5 gallon plants that we have decided to
sell. This is a very rare type of Lady Palm. This species is from
China and is often mistaken for Rhapis humilus. But, it is a
smaller species, getting to about 8 feet tall whereas humilus gets
about twice as tall. It performs well inside the home or office and
also is quite easy to grow outside in filtered light. The stems of multifida are
much more attractive than the common Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa.
It also carries more leaflets per leaf than the Lady Palm and is overall
a more attractive plant. The leaflets are narrow and come to a
point like Rhapis humilus. Side by side, the majority of
our customers prefer the Rhapis multifida over the Rhapis
excelsa.
Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties or lower, F. Outdoors,
this species prefers filtered light. One must be careful not
to give Rhapis too much fertilizer or leaf burn may occur.

KENTIOPSIS PYRIFORMIS SUPER RARE SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM
NATIVE TO NEW CALEDONIA
THIN TRUNK - VERY ELEGANT TEN DAY SPECIAL VERY NICE BAND SIZE PLANTS
This is a single trunk,
crown shafted pinnate palm native to New Caledonia. Many feel it's
the prettiest species of this genus. It gets to a height of about
40 feet or more and has a thin trunk. Leaves are upright, green
and arched. They are keeled and green in color. The crown
shaft is a copper color, covered with a white wax. It can be grown
in some sun, depending on where you live. It's probably best to
start it in bright filtered light and let it work its way into overhead
sun. Growth rate is good, comparable or faster than K.
oliviformis. Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze.
This is an extremely difficult species
to find for sale nowadays. I only have an excellent selection of
large band sized plants. This is an extremely rare species and we
rarely have them for sale.

species native to Asia.It is fast growing and can get to a
height of 70 feet. It is definitely a canopy-forming palm species.Leaves a green and leaflets are
premorse (jagged at their ends).Some people love the grandeur of
these palms. Trunks are tan, ringed and about 16 inches diameter
on average.It will get taller and more quickly
get there than almost any other palm in your garden.They want full sun and, especially if
inland, plenty of water. Because they are monocarpic (flower and
then die), one needs a plant that is near death to get seeds.This occurs rarely.We were able to germinate seeds from
such a plant.I’ve not had seedlings for six to
eight years.They are on their first leaf and can

SPECIAL CONING SIZED PLANTS
This gorgeous cycad is green in color and native to lowland as well as
mountainous areas of Vera Cruz, Mexico. There are various forms.
Some are green emergent but we’ve seen an occasional bronze emergent
type. This is a medium to large cycad with crown spreads of eight
to ten feet. Leaves tend to be horizontal and sometimes a bit
dependent, especially on older leaves. Leaf stems are spiny.
Leaf length can be six feet easily. Leaflets are medium width
with no spines on their edges. Caudex size can get up to two feet.
Most would grow this is a bit of sun or filtered light. But, right
on the coast, some have grown it well in half day sun. Cold
tolerance is down to the low 20’s F.
We have an excellent selection of this species and have selected some of
the 15 gallons for a Ten Day Special.Caudexes are four to six inches or bigger. Most are coning

This should prove to be one of the most

SPINELESS
GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL
BAND SIZED SEEDLINGS I enjoy talking about this species because it is
one of my favorites. It is a large species over time. I say
'user friendly" because this is one of the few species that has
absolutely no spines; none of the leaflets, none one the stems. A
leaf brushing across your face feels no more intense than brushing past
a Maiden Hair Fern. We have a huge selection of this species.
Today I’m putting seedlings in band size on sale. Below are a few
of the main characteristics of this species:
*Large species with trunks slowly getting to over ten feet
*Leaf length typically six to eight feet, sometimes bigger.
*Trunk diameter to 18 inches
*Smooth petiole with no spines
*Great for strong filtered light or full sun along the coast
*Large interesting cones
*Leaflets soft and glossy green in color
*New leaves emerge upward, older leaves lay more horizontal
*Easy to grow
I've found that even customers who say "I only like palms, not cycads"
tend to love this species.

MULE PALM BUTIA X SYAGRUS (QUEEN PALM)
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE HYBRID PALM
SUPER COLD HARDY - TO ABOUT 16 DEGREES
TEN DAY SPECIAL SQUAT 25G SIZE
This popular inter-generic hybrid palm was probably first created by a
man made cross of both parents about a hundred years ago. It has
been given a trade name of "Butiagrus nabonnandii" but most
people call it the Mule Palm. The latter name is utilized because
it's been found on most specimens to have sterile fruit or no fruit at
all. Any seeds formed almost always won't germinate to grow
a new palm. Butia capitata is a monoecious species. This
means that flower stocks have both male and female flowers.
To produce Mule Palm plants, it takes a tremendous amount of work to
viable and true seeds. On the seed producing Butia flowerstock,
all the male flowers must be meticulously removed manually to prevent
self-pollination by itself. Only after this can the Queen pollen
but put onto the receptive Butia blossoms. This takes a lot of
experience, effort and time. This is one of the reasons this
hybrid is so rare and usually pricey.
Mature height is up to thirty feet, much shorter than the Queen Palm.
But, cold hardiness is better than a Queen as well. It'll take
temperatures down to about 16 degrees F. This species prefers a bright
sun location and can be grown in the desert in full sun.
On special are our 25g plants. They are at least 8-9 feet tall in
their pots, grown in sun. They are ready for planting.

RHAPIDOPHYLLUM HYSTRIX
THE NEEDLE PALM
WORLD'S MOST COLD HARDY PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE 20 YEAR OLD 45 GALLON PLANT
There is no doubt in my mind that this species is the most cold tolerant
of any palm species. It is native to the southeastern United States
with native habitats stretching from South Carolina down to northern
Florida and into Alabama and Mississippi. There are reports of
this species tolerating below zero degrees F. Now, this doesn't
mean that you can grow it in Michigan. But, in areas that see
significant cold such as North Carolina, central Texas or even New
Mexico, this species might work for you.
It is a suckering fan palm and known as the "Needle Palm" because it
forms dark colored, protuberant needles on the trunk. The eighth
picture below shows the needles on the trunk of an older garden plant.The first six photos shown this mature, seed producing palm.I only have this one specimen – came from a private grower and is
very old.In sun the leaf
color is a silver green with more silver underneath. In shade the
color gets dark green, reminiscent of a Rhapis Palm. Trunks
are usually under three feet tall and four to six inches thick.
But, because the leaves come upwards, the overall height of the plant
can be six to seven feet or taller. They can get a bit bushy.
This is a very slow growing species. If you don’t want a big
mature specimen, I do have much smaller 5g which are shippable.

RHOPALOSTYLIS BAUERI NORFOLK ISLAND PALM
SINGLE TRUNK - CROWN SHAFTED TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Rhopalostylis baueri,
the Norfolk Island Palm, is native to two locations. Norfolk
Island (an Australian island) is the home of the classic Rhopalostylis
baueri but
there is also a population in Kermadec Islands, a New Zealand territory.
The population of Rhopalostylis
baueri on
Norfolk Island is near the elevated center of the island, rare
elsewhere. In this locality, it is threatened by rodents that eat
the seeds and young seedlings. In the Kermadec location, this
species is found on Raoul Island. It is more plentiful there
because there have been efforts to eliminate the rat population.
In my experience, this species does best in less than full sun along the
coast. Half day morning sun is about perfect. It has a cold
tolerance into the low 20's F. and is being grown in the SF Bay area.
Anticipate a height typically of about 25 feet mature. We are putting our 15 gallon size on special.

different species of Dypsis, I
can say that Dypsis baronii is
one of the best species of Dypsis for
Southern California. It is a reliablly performing plant and quite
beautiful. Palm enthusiasts get really excited about the variety
of color seen in the stem, crown shaft and new petioles. The
plants shown here are the “red stem” form with obvious red coloring at
the base of the trunks.
Crown shafts vary in color from red to yellow to powder white.
Eventually, most plants give a silver green trunk with a light colored
crown shaft as shown here. Trunks are several inches thick, leaves
are about five to six feet long and overall heights peak out under
twenty feet. Right on the coast this species can be grown in full sun
although strong filtered light or part day sun is ok too. Far
inland areas should expose this species to only a few hours of sun.Cold tolerance is into the mid and perhaps low 20's F.
Growth rate is slow to medium.
Availability on this species is variable.

Hyophorbe verschafeltii is
known as the Spindle Palm. It is closely related to Hyophorbe
lagenicaulis, the Bottle Palm. But, the Spindle Palm is a bit
more cold hardy and therefore the one that is a better choice for
Southern California. Most Bottle Palms don’t survive in this ara.
Both are native to the Mascarene Islands. Mature height in many
decades is fifteen feet or a bit more. On the trunk, the Spindle
Palm has the bulge off the ground, somewhere in the middle of a mature
trunk. The Bottle Palm swells at the base and above this gets more
narrow. Cold tolerance of the Spindle Palm is about freezing.
The Bottle Palm gets into trouble below thirty-five degrees. This
small difference makes a huge difference for growers. This

Rhopalostylis cheesemanii is
from Roul Island in the Kermadecs.It reportedly has darker brown tomentum on the crown shaft and
petioles compared to R.
baueri and
the fruits are larger in size. But, the most remarkable thing is
that some enthusiasts have noticed is that it is a more aggressive
grower in Southern California. It is a green leafed, single trunk
pinnate palm with a crown shaft.Opposed to R.
baueri,
it has been known to do quite well in full sun right along the coast.
One of our staff, Rusty, swears by this species and thinks it's far
superior to other Rhopalostylis.
In his yard it has grown at a phenomenal rate. The pictures here
show the darker petioles compared to R. sapida.I have limited photos of larger garden plants. Be aware
that many people feel this should be considered a sub-variety of Rhopalostylis

RAVENEA SAMBIRANENSIS
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
WHEN MATURE, LANDSCAPE SIZED SPECIMEN
TEN DAY SPECIAL TWO GALLON PLANTS
This species of Ravenea is from both the west and eastern sides
of the Island of Madagascar. It was named after a river on the
island. It is a large and elegant pinnate palm with heights
reportedly up to one hundred feet. Trunk diameter is one foot.
It grows at elevations from sea level to six thousand feet in both dry
and moist native habitats. When younger, this species has flat
erect leaves that go straight upwards. However, with age, this
species produces leaves that are keeled and curve downwards at the ends.
When mature the overall crown is hemispherical with the leaves in the
upper portion of the circle. Because of its large size, this plant
should be considered a major landscape item and not a companion plant.
Photos below show how large this palm is when mature.
I have a limited number of two gallon plants on sale. These are
shown in the first four photos. They should be grown in an area
where they can work their way from strong filtered light into full sun.
Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F. They like moisture but

CYCAS PANZHIHUAENSIS
RARE GREEN CHINESE CYCAD
EXCELLENT COLD HARDINESS
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT AS SHOWN
This is a rare green cycad from China. It is different
than the Sago Palm - smaller and, to me, more attractive.
Leaf color is green to blue green. It tolerates coastal
sun and is cold hardy into the upper teens F. Some feel
it's one of the most cold hardy cycads in the world - even
better than the Sago Palm. Mature height should be about

THE MOOSEHORN FERN PLATYCERUM SUPERBUM
GROWS EPIPHYTICALLY
MOUNT ON WOOD OR TREE TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL SIZE SHOWN
Platycerum are
a type of fern that we know as the "Staghorn Fern". But, the
normal type you see, P.
bifurcatum,
has deer antler types of leaves. They are narrow and reach out
from the attaching shield. But, there's another type known as the
"Moosehorn Fern" where the leaves are entire, stretching across the
width of the plant. Mature, they look entirely different.These leaves can get up to six feet across – one giant shield
like leaf. They are not easy to find. The standard Staghorn
is not difficult to locate. Both are an epiphytic type of plant
that can be mounted on a tree trunk or grown on a flat wooden base.
They are not hard to care for but you don't want to let them go dry.
I water them by just spraying with a hose and occasionally give them
some liquid fertilizer mixed into the water. You want to water to
hit the plant from above – like rain.They can take a bit of sun or strong filtered light. Cold
hardiness is typically into the mid to perhaps low twenties F.The plants we have presently are larger than ones we’ve offered
in the past.

CHAMAEDOREA TENELLA
SUPER CUTE DWARF UNDERSTORY PALM
SIMPLE, UNDIVIDED LEAVES
A REAL COLLECTOR ITEM
This is an adorable small, single trunk,
understory palm from Southern Mexico that is typically about two feet
tall. In habitat, it has been known to attain a height of three to four
feet. Trunks are quite thin, usually about a quarter of an inch thick.
Leaves are complete (simple) with no divided leaflets. It is closely
related toChamaedorea
geonomiformis, just smaller. The lumping type taxonomists must
drool at the possibility of someday lumping the two together. It is
rarely seen on the market. Recently we got in about five of these and
they sold the same day. But, I still wanted to show them to you. It
wants filtered light and has a cold hardiness somewhere in the
mid-twenties F. Because of its rarity, little is offered about culture
in reference books. Anticipate in the future that, from time to time,
we'll have small plants available.
DINING IN THE GARDEN
WHAT'S NICER THAN EATING OUTSIDE
MEMORIES OF MARDI DARIAN
Now deceased and long time friend of mine, Mardi
Darian of Vista, California would entertain friends and visitors at an
outdoor dining area behind his house. This garden dining location was
enchanting and beautiful. Nestled right among towering palms and
tropical plants, one could take in the panoramic view of the garden
while enjoying a fine meal. All of us should be so lucky. Mardi really
had a great eye for garden design. He passed away in August, 2015 and
has been missed by many plant enthusiasts.

HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER
TEN DAY SPECIAL ON 15G
SIZED PLANTS
This species of exotic palm is from the
island of Madagascar. It is the third of three Beccariophoenix species
described from this palm-loaded country. It is so sought after
because some feel that it's the prettiest species of the three.
And, because it may possess the best cold hardiness. I've
documented other Beccariophoenix species tolerating
temperatures below 25 degrees at our nursery. So, this species may
survive in areas like San Francisco, Phoenix and maybe even warmer parts
of Texas. It grows to a height of about thirty feet and does not
have a crown shaft. Leaves are long and minimally curved.
The crown of leaves are densely placed. Growth rate is medium in
most areas and along the coast it likes sun. This species is hard
to find. We're putting our limited supplies of 15g plants on ten
day special. As you can see from the photos, they are good sized.
For mail order, we should also have smaller sizes available.

south of San Diego, CA. It is known as the Guadalupe Fan Palm.
It is found natively nowhere else. The trunk is medium sized and
mature trees obtain a maximum height of under fifteen feet. The
garden plants shown here are located near Mission Bay Park in San Diego.
I'd estimate they are about forty years old. This species likes
full sun, can tolerate desert conditions and is cold hardy to the mid to
upper teens F. They are also reasonably drought tolerant.

ARCHONTOPHOENIX "TERACARPA" THE BEST KING PALM EVER!
SO, WHAT IS IT?
ARE THEY EVER ON SALE? YES, 10 DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
Archontophoenix teracarpa is a fictitious name
given to an unknown species/type of King Palm that I have in my garden
and no one can identify. I've been collecting seeds from it for
quite a few years and offering it for sale. Everyone who gets one
agrees - "It's the best King Palm ever!" It got the name from the
Latin "Large body", which it has. After trying to identify the
species over many years and with no success, we coined the name
"Archontophoenix teracarpa". The closest species to it would be A.
maxima but it's not the same. So, what are the differences that
makes teracarpa more ideal?
It is faster growing It gets taller than the regular King Palm It tolerates full sun better It doesn't brown tip in full sun It has a blue crown shaft It has a super thick trunk

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
Shown is a nice example of a 5 gallon size of Chambeyronia hookeri with
its blonde colored crown shaft. I’ve found that this species
throws just as red (sometimes even more intense) new leaf compared to Chambeyronia
macrocarpa. This species is hard to find. It is
different in appearance from the dark green crown shafted form seen on
C. macrocarpa. Here's some facts about this species:
• Growth habit and care about the same as macrocarpa
• Along the coast will tolerate full sun if you're are not too far
inland
• Crown shaft is yellow-tan colored and quite prominent
• Cold tolerance is about 23 degrees
• Growth rate on this species like macrocarpa is slow to
medium but improves once planted in the ground.
• Trunk diameter is about 8 inches typically and overall height of
mature plants is about 25 feet
• Leaflets are shiny green, thick and sturdy, and quite wide as
shown
• Like macrocarpa, about 95% of the time throws newly
emerging red leaf as shown here. Rarely a plant will not throw new
red leaves and there's no way of predicting this.
• Also makes a great interior palm inside the home
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON SIZE $125

whole. Some are blue. And, there's many colors of green.
Leaflet shapes are also quite varied. You'll see shorter leaflets
compared to long narrow ones. Some are spiny, others are more
smooth at their margins. The texture on some are smooth and shiny
whereas others are furry showing hairs. Some stack on each other,
others are widely spaced. Some are prominently veined. Many

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA
THE PURPLE CROWN SHAFT KING PALM
VERY BEAUTIFUL - GOOD GROWER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SINGLE OR MULTIPLE SIZE
The native home of Archontophoenix purpurea is the Mt. Lewis
mountain range in Queensland, Australia. This species is known for
the purple color to the crown shaft. It is found at an elevation
up to 4000 feet. Mature height is quoted to be over fifty feet,
but in habitat and culture I didn't see one this tall. For types
of King Palms, this species is stated to have the thickest trunk.
I don't think I agree with this and feel A. maxima is thicker.
Most I've seen have a trunk diameter of twelve inches or somewhat more.
Cold hardiness is about 25 degrees F. It takes full coastal sun.
The degree of purple in the crown shaft is variable but never "lollipop"
purple. The underside of the leaves is silver and there is ramenta
hairs only on this side. On younger plants the leaf bases and leaf
stem tend to have a yellow color. I'm showing our 15g size which

TRACHYCARPUS LATISECTUS
WINDMILL PALM FROM INDIA
MEDIUM ADULT HEIGHT
RARE SPECIES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This species from high elevation areas in India is most known for the
fact that it's leaf segments are wider than other species. There
are two varieties. It is a tall species, up to forty feet, with a
narrow trunk of six to eight inches. Its leaves are green with a
bit of glaucous color beneath. For this genus, the leaves are
wide, sometimes up to five feet with wide segments that are divided
about half way into the leaf. The petioles are about three feet
long and the leaf shape is semicircular or near totally circular.
There is a hope that this species tolerates more heat. Cold
tolerance is yet to be determined. We're suspicious it is not as
cold tolerant as other species. It is extremely rare in
cultivation with few photos available of the native population. Both
larger plant photographs below are by Martin Gibbons in the U.K. and

LEPIDOZAMIA HOPEI LEPIDOZAMIA SPECIES WITH WIDER LEAFLETS
MAKES A TALL TREE OVER A CENTURY
FAIRLY RARE AND HARD TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This species of cycad gets
enormous! I mean really tall. There are specimens with
heights to almost 60 feet. Leaves are six to ten feet long.
Leaflets are soft and without spines or armor.
For this reason, it is felt to be a very user friendly cycad. But,
you must give it adequate room to grow. Compared to the Lepidozamia peroffskyana,
the hopei leaflets are wider. It's quite noticeable
when you compare the two side by side. This is the best way to tell them
apart when they are young.
Culturally, it is quite similar to L. peroffskyana, preferring
some sun but not full sun in most areas. Far inland it may do
better with filtered light. In terms of rarity, you don't see this
species for sale that often. Cold hardiness is into the mid to
lower 20's F. We're putting citrus pot size on sale with caudexes
of 4 to 5 inches. These can be mail ordered.
REGULAR PRICE THIS SIZE CITRUS POT $500

This is a super popular variety of ginger that blossoms in the

plants is six to seven feet. The leaves are prominently variegated
with lighter green and yellow. Blossoms are long lived, lasting at
least a month. Blossoms occur during the summer. I think
they do best in part day sun although right on the coast folks grow them
in full sun. Cold tolerance is one of the better for ginger,
probably the mid-twenties F. The 15 gallons on sale have several
canes and are ready to be planted in the ground.

CHAMBEYRONIA HOOKERI
THE BLONDE FLAME THROWER PALM
GORGEOUS PALM FROM NEW CALEDONIA
The palm shown in the first two rows is a 5 gallon
size of Chambeyronia hookeri with its blonde colored crown
shaft. This species is hard to find. It is different in appearance
from the dark green crown shafted form, Chambeyronia macrocarpa.
Here's some facts about this species:
• Growth habit and care about the same as
macrocarpa
• Along the coast will tolerate full sun if you're are not too far
inland
• Crown shaft is yellow-tan colored and quite prominent
• Cold tolerance is about 23 degrees
• Growth rate on this species like macrocarpa is slow to
medium but improves once planted in the ground.
• Trunk diameter is about 8 inches typically and overall height of
mature plants is about 25 feet
• Leaflets are shiny green, thick and sturdy, and quite wide as shown
• Like macrocarpa, about 95% of the time throws newly emerging
red leaf as shown here. Rarely a plant will not throw new red leaves
and there's no way of predicting this.
• Also makes a great interior palm inside the home
We have very limited numbers available of this species and only several
in this 5 gallon size. But, we also have some band sized plants.

BURRETIOKENTIA KOGHIENSIS RARE NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
NARROW TRUNK & WHITE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15G PLANTS
Back in the year 2000, I was the President of the International
Palm Society. One of my goals at the time was to break the
monotony of Biennial meetings always being held in the United States.
I found them to be repetitious and sort of boring. Certainly, no
one at the time would have called them exciting meetings.
With this in mind, I set up the 1998 Biennial in Thailand at Nong Nook
Gardens. That was a first. And, to outdo that meeting, I
arranged with the Palm Society of New Caledonia to have to 2000 Biennial
in their country. The palms of New Caledonia are some of the most
exciting and pretties palms of the world.
This gave Jesse and I a great opportunity to see
the New Caledonian palms in the wild. About 45 minutes out of
Noumea (the capitol) is Mount Koghi. This is the home habitat for
this species. It has a thin to medium trunk, a white crown shaft
and gets to about 25 feet tall. It's very beautiful and does great
in Southern California. Most grow it in part day sun. Cold
tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. (sort of like a King Palm with
tolerance of cold). Shown here are plants that we germinated about
8 years ago. They are finally really nice, old 15g plants.
You'll not see locally grown plants of this species and size around at
all. And, never on sale.

RHOPALOSTYLIS CHEESEMANII
MEDIUM SIZED PINNATE PALM WITH CROWNSHAFT
FROM ROUL ISLAND
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Rhopalostylis cheesemanii is
from Roul Island as opposed to Norfolk Island, the home of R. baueri.
It reportedly has darker brown tomentum on the crown shaft and petioles
compared to R. baueri and the fruits are larger in size.
But, the most remarkable thing is that some enthusiasts have noticed is
that it is a more aggressive grower in Southern California. In
fact, opposed to R. baueri, it has been known to do quite well in
full sun right along the coast. It is a medium sized pinnate palm
with a mature height of 25 to 30 feet and crown shafted. The trunk
is about 8 inches thick or a bit more.
Although you can't see it below, it has a a dark petiole. Be aware
that many people feel this should be considered a sub-variety of Rhopalostylis
baueri. Some have reported that the crown shaft can take on a
purple color. We are putting very nice 15 gallon plants on sale

BRAHEA NITIDA
FLAT GREEN LEAF - NATIVE TO MEXICO
CAN TOLERATE LESS THAN FULL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G PLANTS
This interesting fan palm is native to Mexico, where it lives in the
western portion of the country in mountainous areas. Its
distribution extends down into Guatemala. It attains a height of
thirty feet with a stout trunk of one foot diameter. The most
attractive thing about this palm are its circular leaves, with only
partial division of the segments. This is particularly apparent
when it is grown in filtered light. In sun, the leaves are
less flat and more divided. When grown in shade, sometimes this
species reminds me of a "Licuala-looking" palm in its leaf
appearance.
Cold hardiness is at least into the
mid-twenties F. It may in fact be more cold hardy. The
leaves are a shiny green with a white discoloration on the underside of
the leaves. The petioles are essentially un-armed. From time
to time we have this species available. Shown here are nice 15g
which I'm putting on sale. The close up of the petioles
shows the lack of armor. Note the minimal division of the
leaflets. The plant in the garden below shows more circular, flat
near entire leaves. Compare this to the habitat photo, which was
taken by a friend of mine, Justen Dobbs, in habitat and in full sun.
The leaves in full sun are more divided and not as tropical appearing.

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This single trunk, white crown-shafted palm comes from the island of New
Caledonia. There is grows in locations from sea level to 2000
feet. It is a medium sized plant best known for its white crown
shaft. Known for decades as a monotypic species "Veillonia alba",
in the past decade taxonomists decided renamed it Cyphophoenix alba. Trunk
diameter is thin, about six inches. Height is about forty feet,
sometimes taller. This species is known to grow in better areas of
Southern California. The crown shaft is covered with either white
or red-brown tomentum and is striking. Prominent rings are seen on
the trunk. The leaves are green and overall, the crown is a medium
size. I would recommend growing this is filtered light and let it
work its way into a bit more sun. Cold tolerance is into the
mid-twenties F. As this species is super rare and hard to find, if
you get one you have to be careful with it. It would be difficult
to replace is you lose it through poor culture. We have put 5 gallon on

DYPSIS CARLSMITHII
ORIGINALLY CALLED "DYPSIS STUMPY"
ATTRACTIVE AND DIFFERENT SINGLE TRUNK MADAGASCAR PALM
MEDIUM HEIGHT - THICK TRUNK
SALE OF 5 GALLON SIZE
The original specimen of this species was found in the garden of the
now-late Don Carlsmith on the Big Island, HI. Friend Jeff Marcus
grew this species from seeds of this single plant and, thirty years ago,
referred to it as “Dypsis "Stumpy". With the assistance of
John Dransfield at Kew Gardens in the U.K., it was later given the name
of Dypsis carlsmithii.
This is a medium sized, crown shafted pinnate palm with upright leaves
that are green and arch at their ends. Leaves are keeled and the
crown shaft is green with hints of orange. It was called "stumpy"
by Jeff because the trunk is thick compared to many other Dypsis.
Trunks are ringed and 12 to 14 inches thick. Mature height is
twenty feet and it wants part day or full sun along the coast.
Cold tolerance is into the upper 20's F. Nowadays, the only source
of seeds for this species is domestic seeds so availability is very
limited. We are putting a small number of 5 gallon on sale.

NATIVE TO VANUATU
EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND
NOT VERY COLD TOLERANT TEN DALE SALE ON TWO GALLON PLANTS
This extremely gorgeous crown shafted palm was introduced into the
cultivation market perhaps 25 years ago. At that time and since,
availability of seeds has very limited and seed prices uncommonly high -
as much as eight dollars per seed. This is a single trunk palm
with very arching green leaves and a lime green colored crown shaft.
The trunk is medium sized and about 10 inches thick. Overall
height is 15 to 20 feet. Leaves are keeled and leaflets continue nearly
all the way to the base of the petiole. The base of the trunk is
slightly swollen. The difficulty in growing this species is the
lack of its ability to tolerate a freeze. Tolerated low
temperatures are 33 to 34 degrees. With this said, some people in
warmer microclimates have had success in growing this beautiful palm.
It wants acclimation into full sun. The mature photos are c/o a

CHAMAEDOREA SCHIPPII AN ALMOST UNKNOWN AND NEVER AVAILABLE SPECIES
UNDERSTORY SUCKERING PINNATE PALM HISTORICALLY USED TO CREAT GREAT HYBRID PALMS TEN DAY
SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
Taxonomically, this species of Chamaedorea is
an accepted species. When I got started in palms about 40 years
ago, you could occasionally find one available but you really had to
seek it out. Then they disappeared from the market. I have a
friend with a mature matched and sexed pair of them who set seeds
several years ago. Until this happened, I hadn’t had this species
for sale for at least 20 years. No one has them. We're
offering them in 2 gallon size and have very few available.
This is a suckering green leaf understory
species of Chamaedorea.
They get a mature height of twelve to fourteen feet and have an
appearance similar to C. costaricana.
But, the leaves are longer and the trunks are thicker.
Trunks remain vertical and don't usually lean. This species has
historically been used to make some of the more interesting Chamaedorea hybrids
including the famous "Irving Cantor" cross. They were chosen for
hybridization because of their strong vertical trunks. Cold
tolerance is into the twenties F.

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII EASTERN CAPE BLUE CYCAD

One of the most popular blue cycads that we sell is this South African
species from the Eastern Cape region (toward the ocean). It is a
very slow growing species that, in fifty years, is rarely over a height
of five feet tall. So, like the Dioon above,
it'll always stay small and not obstruct a view. The color is
intensely blue. I tell people it's like the color of a clear blue
sky after you've thrown in a tiny bit of fog. The other thing
about this species, compared to E.
horridus and trispinosus,
is that it's much less spiny and very uniform in shape when mature.
Expect a trunk of no more than three feet and a crown width of no more
than six feet. It loves full sun on the coast and is cold hardy to

But, you can see from these photos it's a deep red-orange. Leaves
are wider and more red than the Prince of Orange Philodendron. It
wants filtered light or, inside, indirect light. Don't overwater
it and give it a chance to dry out a bit. Cold tolerance is about
a freeze. This is a non-climbing rosette type of plant. This
is the first time we've offered this hybrid.

PEAT MOSS VERSUS SPHAGNUM MOSS
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
ARE THEY THE SAME IN THEIR USAGE?
Over the years, I've found that many people
don't know the difference between peat moss and typical sphagnum moss.
I'll try to explain it here and tell how their usages are different.
Peat moss is a fibrous material that is not living and
typically comes from Canada. There is harvested from "peat moss
bogs", packaged and shipped worldwide for gardeners to use. These
moss plants grow year after year on their often shaded locations.
This years growth is on top of last years - and this goes on for
centuries with the lower layers dying. So, at the bottom, there is
this dead fibrous material. These lower levels are harvested and
ground up for bagging. At Jungle Music, peat moss is a component
in all of our nursery mixes. The first photo shows a handful of
peat moss. Note that it is fine in texture. It comes in a
compacted bale but, once broken apart, has this appearance. In a
potting soil, it adds organic filler, it opens up the soil and promotes
drainage. It does add acidity as well and, when used, one must
often add dolomite to control acidity. Once added to a soil one
really can't see it. For seed germination, it is often mixed
together with perlite. If you use a mix with a lot of peat moss,
never let it go totally dry or it will "brick up" and repel water.
Spagnum moss is the living material that is on top of
the peat moss bogs. There it grows year after year.
Localities where it can be found are worldwide including Canada, Peru
and the northern U.K. These plants are harvested alive but die off
from desiccation after they are harvested and packaged. The second
photo shows this type of moss. Note the long, fluffy and coarse
appearance. At our nursery we use this sphagnum moss mostly in two
ways. First, we use it on the outside of wire baskets to
hold in the soil. (third photo below) The second is to germinate or root
certain types of plant material (seeds, cuttings, etc.). Slightly
damp, it's the component used for the baggie technique of germination.
I've known of people who use it in a potting mix but it is difficult to
mix it evenly with other components. Other growers may use it as a
top dressing on potted plants. A final interesting thing is that
sphagnum moss is a neutral pH at the time of purchase. Peat moss
is very acidic as mentioned above. The second photo below
shows sphagnum moss out of the bag.

TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 25 GALLON SIZE
All the time customers are seeking out
Bismarckia, especially for mail orders to other states. We
have available some 15 gallon plants of this species that can be mail
ordered. But, we don't have too many. For several decades
we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from Madagascar.
These are the blue form. You’ll note that there’s some purple
color to the leaves and stems. This is because they were outdoor grown
and saw cold weather into the twenties F. But, this is the blue form as
only the blue ones seem to show purple with cold. As they grow,
all leaves remain blue. Mature specimens in their native habitat reach
heights of over forty feet. Trunk diameter can reach 18 inches or
a bit more. Leaf width can be up to eight feet.
This is a very attractive palm and should be given room in the garden to
show it off. It prefers full, hot sun. Many people in desert
locations have found they can grow it. Cold tolerance is about 22
degrees, although plants seeing colder have come back from injury.
Shown are our 25 gallon plants on special.

One of the favorite characteristics of Bismarckia is the blue

Madagascar. At another location, there is an endemic green Bismarckia known
as the "Mayotte Island" form. There is very little published about
these green forms of the Bismarck Palm. It likes sun and is probably
cold hardy into the low 20's F. Most feel it's not quite as cold hardy
as the blue form. On these green Bismarckias, often you'll see
red in the leaf stem or a hint of it on the leaves. Of course, this is
a full sun palm. This is a very rare palm to find as everyone seeks out
the blue type. But, we have this more rare green form and have found
they are showing nice cold hardiness to the low 20's F. The plant shown
below is about twelve years old. We have a handful of them.

MEDIUM TO LARGE PINNATE
PALM SILVER BACK TO THE LEAVES TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This is a single
trunk species from Brazil. Polyandrococos is a monotypic genus
with only one species. More recently a taxonomist grouped it with Allagoptera. It
doesn’t make sense to me because in no way does it resemble an Allagoptera with
its entirely different appearance. In any case, it is a very
interesting palm. It's height is variable, depending on
conditions. However, some trees can get up to thirty feet tall.
The trunk is medium sized, about twelve inches thick, with no crown
shaft. The leaves are eight to ten feet long and very silver
underneath. Photos below demonstrate the silver back to the
leaves. It also has gorgeous clusters or orange colored (mature) seeds
that are the color of orange sherbet ice cream. See photos below.
This is a very rare plant and hard to find. Shown are smaller 5
gallon that we are putting on special. This species likes sun and is
cold tolerant to the mid-twenties F. There is a very large

Leaves are somewhat narrow, green in color with an unarmed petiole.
Mature height in CA is usually about twelve feet although in the tropics
they get much taller. They like filtered light but can take a bit
of morning sun. Too much sun here will burn them. Cold
hardiness is into the upper 20's F. I had a mature specimen that
produced large numbers of purple fruit for years. This species is
similar to Pinanga kuhlii but has more repetitive regular leaves
and less mottling to the leaflets. Of note, some taxonomists
consider these two species synonymous. Shown here are some 15 gallon
plants which we’re putting on special. They are not quite up to
the full 15 gallon size we prefer, so we’ll give an extra nice discount.They would be full size by late Spring but I suspect they’ll sell

DARK GREEN RINGED TRUNK
OFTEN GROWN AS A "MULTIPLE"
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
This single trunk pinnate palm is native to areas extending from
southern Mexico down to Columbia. They are often grown for food as
the male blossoms are cooked and eaten as a delicacy. This species
doesn't take sun here - it'll burn. But, in shade it thrives in
temperatures down to the mid-twenties F. It is quick growing and
has a rather thick, prominently ringed dark green trunk. Flowers
are quite prominent and, if you have several plants closely situated,
the chances are you'll obtain fruit without even trying. The last
photo shows a flower with green fruit. This species can also be
grown inside the home as long as the air is not too hot and dry. I
personally like the looks of a collection of several plants grown
together. Over time, as they age and get overhead, there will be
some "stair-stepping" of the crowns and this is quite attractive.
Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. It needs filtered
light, even when tall. We have singles and some multiples of our
5g that are on sale. Both singles and multiples are shown in the

LEHMANNII
This is a popular blue cycad from the Eastern Cape area of South Africa.
I say “popular” because some people don't like spines and prickles.
The leaflets of this species are narrow with only a point at the end.
They are nothing as gnarly as E. horridus. The leaves and crown
are very neat and uniform. The nearest species to this one is Encephalartos
princeps. Trunks of E. lehmannii can get to five feet, but
one with two to three feet of trunk is very old. Leaves average
about four feet long and are strongly curled. Sometimes they'll
almost do a 180 or more degree re-curve. Leaf color is intensely
blue like E. horridus. But, you'll only see this color with
full, hot sun. In shade or inside a greenhouse they are often
green. Cold hardiness is about 21 to 22 degrees F. In the
desert only give it a few hours sun. Next to Encephalartos
horridus, this is the second most popular cycad we grow. Shown
below is an assortment of 15 gallon plants of this species with caudexes

about about five feet in length. Stems can reach up to three
meters over the centuries, but it is rare to see anything close to that
size. This species
was originally calledEncephalartos msinga(after
its locality) but was later formally described asEncephalartos
msinganus. The leaves on this species are relatively short,
are green and generally are heavily armed on the leaflets and petioles.
It is quite rare to see this plant in cultivation and some make the
argument that it is equally rare to some of the (very rare) Transvaal
species.
In coastal and inland areas, this species wants to be in sun. For
desert areas, this species should be grown in partial sun or filtered

tolerate temperatures well below a freeze and tolerate strong filtered
light or coastal sun. Blossoms a very fragrant, especially at night.
This is a first time offering. Limited numbers. This is the first time
we've offered this species. Note they stop blossoming by April.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON
TRITONIA $65
THE TRAVELER PALM RAVENALA MADAGASCARENSIS
BANANA APPEARING TREE IN ONE PLANE
CAN BE GROWN IN SOUTHERN CA
NICE 5G SIZE AVAILABLE
TEN DAY SPECIAL TWO GALLON SIZE
For about a year folks have called us to obtain smaller sized Traveler
Palms. But, we didn't have any. In fact, the industry is
totally sold out of this species. We can now announce that we have
available a small number of fairly nice 2 gallon plants.They are about 18 inches tall.We have about ten for sale. This is a quick growing plant and
these should do well for most of you that don't freeze. These are
fast growing. They like sun in most areas but do not take a freeze
- which will melt them overnight. Also be aware that they do
sucker.We recommend
removing the suckers as they look better as a single trunk plant.Remember, this species puts out banana type leaves in one plane.
We’re putting our 2 gallon on sale.
REGULAR PRICE 2G $70
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2G $55

RECYCLE USED PLASTIC CONTAINERS
AND OLD NEWSPAPERS AND BOXES
ECOLOGICAL AND HELPS OUR NURSERY YOU'LL
RECEIVE A DISCOUNT
ON YOUR PURCHASE OR A CREDIT TOWARD FUTURE PURCHASE
I like to remind plant enthusiasts to recycle their plastic containers.
We will take them and give you a credit toward any purchase at the
nursery - when you drop them off or issue a credit toward a future
purchase. Or, if you just don't know what to do with them and are
conservative minded, drop them off at our nursery location. If you
arrive off hours, just leave them in front of our entry gate. We'll
put them to good use. We've been doing this for decades and think
it's the right thing to do for the environment. On
containers, 2e
are especially looking for larger pots, 5g and bigger. Our nursery
is plush with one gallon or smaller. We also really appreciate
5 gallon, 7 gallon,
15 gallon and citrus pots.
We are also recycling old cardboard boxes
(Amazon types or otherwise) and newspapers.
So, don't give them to the garbage man for your local landfill.
Bring containers to our nursery and receive a nursery credit for
plastic/ceramic containers. The fourth photo shows all containers
from a band to a 24 inch box, left to right.
We utilize old newspaper to
stuff our plants before we put them in vehicles. Newspapers also
help us secure mail orders. And, we're always
running out and don't like using new paper for this purpose - wasteful. So, we'd recycle those old newspapers that you have
on hand. Just drop them off at the nursery any day Monday through
Saturday. Thank you.

Recently, on a drizzling day, sort of gray and gloomy, the following
photos were taken by Alma, one of the staff. These pictures show
the unique combination of palms, cycads and succulents that we're
offering. You can see how nicely they all blend together. We're
showing these photos so you get a feel for our Nursery.
GREAT
PALM TREES FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Below are pictures of about thirty
five palm species that all do well in Southern California. In
the group of palms below, I left off the most common species
that, it seems, everyone knows about. So, there are no Queen
Palms and Mexican Fan Palms below. But, this group includes
species that may be a bit unusual and more interesting. This is not a complete list. For instance, within any
given genus, there may be dozens other species that do well here. If I
showed every species that you can grow, it would be too overwhelming.
So, I've kept it simple and show representative pictures. I think, for
a starting point, this will suffice.
I have chosen to show mature plants in
gardens. I tried to use mostly pictures from gardens in
Southern California to show examples. Some are from elsewhere. This
provides a quick view of species that you may want to try. Some
are for sun, others for shade. Some are more difficult to grow than
others. I'm not commenting on each species presently. But,
throughout my Blog, there are comments on almost all of these. If you
don't live here in Southern California, realize that many of these
species may live in your area as well.
I hope you enjoy this. We, of course,
have most or all of these palms for sale at the nursery in an
assortment of sizes. And, for your enthusiasts, we probably have
several hundred other cool species for you to try.

for us here.
I apologize if I haven't included your
favorite species in this group, but this is meant to be
a brief introduction
and
I wanted to keep it simple. I have utilized these
species in a brief article

California elsewhere

PLANT
CONTAINER SIZES
For growers
here on the West Coast, there are black plastic containers that most of us use
on our plants. Surprisingly, there are differences between
the pots used
on the West Coast and East Coast of the U.S. Here we refer to most
containers by "gallon size" On the East Coast pots are referred to
by
"diameter in inches". So,
back East you might find a plant in a "14 inch pot". Here is might be
called a "15 gallon pot". If you visit our price
and availability catalog,
plants are shown by their pot size. I'm hoping that this Blog post this morning will help clarify
what individual pots look like.
CONTAINER SIZE
PHOTO EMPTY
CONTAINER
PHOTO OF
PLANTS IN
THIS CONTAINER
BAND SIZE CONTAINER This pot is 3 x 3 x 9 inches, square in shape. It is used for
seedling plants. For most growers, it has replaced the one gallon pot.
It is a bit deeper and easier to place in carrying trays. It also
conserves space on benches because these can be placed close together.
You can get a pretty nice plant in a band container, sometimes up to 30
inches tall.
ONE GALLON POT This is a very common pot used, especially by flower growers
and those producing small shrubs. It's a typical first step after
germinating a seedling. We prefer using the band containers above as
they conserve table and bench space more efficiently and are deeper.
Diameter of this pot is six inches but it's only about seven inches
deep.
TWO GALLON POT
This pot is 7 to 8 inches wide and about 8 inches deep. It is a nice
size to move a band plant into. But, it is not particularly deep, so
you have to make sure the roots fit into the container. This pot will
produce an average plant that is about 2 feet tall. We grow a lot of
palms in these pots.
FIVE GALLON POT
This pot is 10 inches wide and about 10 inches deep. It produces a
plant that is one of the most common sized palms that we sell. It is
popular because it's not too heavy to lift and plants are typically
three to five feet tall, depending on the species.
SEVEN GALLON POT
We really like this container because it produces a good sized plant but
isn't as heavy to carry as a 15g. But, for some manufacturing reason,
this pot costs twice as much as a 15g. Therefore, most growers aren't
buying this sized pot very much nowadays. It is 12 inches wide, and
about 12 inches deep.
FIFTEEN GALLON POT
This is the most popular sized purchased by people who want a landscape
or near-landscape ready size of plant. This container typically
supports a palm from four to eight feet size. Weight of this size of
container with soil and plant is usually sixty to ninety pounds. It's
size is 15 to 16 inches wide and 16 inches deep. Note how this size pot
usually has a nice carrying lip at the top of the pot.
TWENTY/TWENTY-FIVE GALLON POTS
This is the next size up from a 15g. These pots are typically about 18
to 20 inches wide and 16 to 18 inches deep. They weight anywhere from
125 to 150 pounds with their soil. They can produce a plant larger than
the 15g, typically 8 to 10 feet. They usually have a flat lip on the top
as shown. The pot shown here is actually a 25g pot. 20 g are a bit
smaller.
24 INCH BOX CONTAINER
This box is 24 inches wide, square in shape and about 22 to 24 inches
deep. The weight of this container depends on the mix, but is anywhere
from 175 to 300 pounds (this heavier weight is if one is using a very
heavy soil). It takes two men to lift one of these. We prefer plastic
boxes as shown here, but they are much more expensive than wooden box.
They last a very long time.
ALL POT SIZES IN A ROW This pot showsall
the sizes lined up in a row. In order, left to right are:
band size one gallon two gallon five gallon seven gallon

Note: Larger pots/boxes can get very heavy and are too heavy to mail order by
usual means - independent trucker needed for these.
