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.

CYCAS THOUARSII MEDIUM SIZED CYCAD SOFT GREEN LEAVES FAST GROWING
The first four pictures here show a
nice 15g specimen of this species. Native to Madagascar, the
eastern coast of Africa and the Comoro Islands, this fast growing
species gets to a native height of sometimes twenty feet or more.
Plants grown domestically are typically ten feet or a bit more in
California. The trunk is about eight to ten inches thick.
Leaves are five to six feet long and soft to the touch. There is
small armor on the leaf stem, but the leaflets have no spines.
Leaf color is green to blue-green.
Along the coast this species tolerates full sun.
Far inland areas should utilize filtered light or morning sun.
Cold hardiness is into the low 20's F. We have a whole assortment
of sizes available including nice 5g plants that are a piece of cake to
ship.
HOWEA FORSTERIANA
THE KENTIA PALM
REALLY LARGE SINGLE TRUNK 15 GALLON PLANTS
TEN TO TWELVE FEET TALL - 10 INCH THICK BASES
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE 15 GALLON PLANTS
Howea forsteriana,
the popular Kentia Palm, is native to Lord Howe Island. There it
lives at lower elevations. At higher elevations up the mountains
one sees Howea belmoreana and Hedyscepe. The Kentia does
great here in So California. It is a single trunk species
that is often grown as a "multiple" with several plants in the same pot.
It does NOT sucker. Along the coast it takes full sun or part day
sun. Far inland, filtered light is needed. Cold
tolerance is about 25 degrees F. Mature height in sun is usually
about thirty feet in 30 years. Shown here is are examples of
absolutely massive 15 gallon palms.These have been outdoor grown and are about twelve years old.
Standing next to them, most are about ten feet tall or more with 8 to 12
inch bases (ground diameter).They are so nice that some are considering using them as a larger
house plant. We have various sizes of the Kentias for sale from
small to large. They are great patio or interior palms as well.
Smaller plants can be mail ordered. Bigger plants usually require
delivery.You won’t find
larger 15g at any nursery.

FATTEST TRUNK OF ANY
PALM
NEWLY AVAILABLE MASSIVE 15 GALLON PLANTS
EASILY THE SIZE OF A 25 GALLON PLANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL SUPER LARGE 15 GALLON PLANTS
This species is known at the Chilean Wine Palm. It can have trunk
diameters up to four feet. To get a large trunking tree from a small
plant can take several decades. Ultimate height can reach at least
forty feet. Leaves are green and sometimes a blue-green color. The
trunk is smooth and the fruit is yellow with a large brown seed
inside. The leaf stems are unarmed. Cold hardiness in into the
mid teens F. It's a sun species, even in the desert. The plants
on sale are truly massive 15 gallon specimens.On some, the trunk almost fills the 15 inch diameter pot.
Also, notice the somewhat blue petioles. These may end up being
the blue variety of the Chilean Wine Palm. You will
not not find any larger 15 gallon on the market.These can be mail ordered but shipping would be expensive.They have been sun grown in a colder area of San Diego County.Limited numbers.
These will sell out shortly.
We got in about ten of them Friday and half are already sold.

SUCKERING FILTERED LIGHT EXOTIC PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This exotic suckering pinnate palm is native to Sumatra, Java and
Sulawesi. It has thin trunks that can have a blonde color.
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
out by then as this is a beautiful yet very hard to find species.

THE TEDDY BEAR PALM
RUST COLORED CROWN SHAFT
THIN SILVER RINGED TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This great Madagascar palm is known for its rusty-brown/red crown shaft
that is quite fuzzy to the touch. It therefore has its common name
of the Teddy Bear Palm. It is not a huge palm, usually getting up
to about twenty-five feet with a six inch thick trunk. Trunk color
is silver with prominent rings. Leaf color is green. Right
on the coast it takes full sun easily. Far inland would require
part day sun or filtered light. Cold tolerance is down to about 25
degrees F. This is one of the most popular palms around. I’m offering
our nice 5 gallon plants on special.

PTYCHOSPERMA ELEGANS
THE SOLITAIRE PALM - NATIVE TO AUSTRALIA

CROWN SHAFT - THIN TRUNK - MEDIUM HEIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This single trunk palm species is native to the Northern Territory and
Queensland in Australia. It has green medium width leaves.It has a rather thin trunk that typically is about six inches
thick. Leaves are about six feet long. The crown shaft is
silver green in color and the leaves are green. Mature height is
about 20 - 25 feet on average. It tolerates temperatures into the
mid-20's F. Near the ocean it may take full sun but most grow it
in part day sun or filtered light.I've been growing one in my garden for about 40 years. Some plant
them as small colonies, two or three together. We're putting our

CHAMAEDOREA TEPEJILOTE
SINGLE TRUNK, TALL
SHADE-LOVING PINNATE PALM
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
first six photos. We also have nice 15g which are overhead in
their pots.

NATIVE TO VANUATU
EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND
NOT VERY COLD TOLERANT
SALE ON LARGE ONE 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 high - as much as
several 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 friend in Vanuatu and are from a private
garden. This is an extremely difficult species to find for sale. BTW,
when we first started germinating this species, seeds cost $10 per
seed. Right now, seeds are not available anywhere.

from Puerto Rico and surrounding Caribbean areas. It is a small
cycad with a caudex of six inches. It suckers, forming clumps.
Its leaves are about 3 feet long, arching downwards and the leaflets are
small. The petioles are unarmed. It likes filtered light and
tolerates temperatures into the upper twenties F. It prefers
partial sun or strong filtered light. But, it can be grown in sun
along our coastal areas here. It is an ideal cycad species where one
wants plants to stay small. It's perfect for planting next to a
walkway. We’re putting our citrus pot plant on Special.Caudex sizes are 3 to 5 inches.Most are clustering plants with cones.
Easy to mail order. Remember to mention this Special. Citrus

ENCEPHALARTOS WHITELOCKII LARGER CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD
LONG UPRIGHT LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 5 GALLON PLANTS
This unique and larger cycad is native to
Uganda. In fact, at one point it was called the "Uganda Giant
Cycad". This is because it has leaves that extend almost straight
up toward the sky and can be twelve feet long or more. Leaflets
are narrow and armed with small spines. The caudex is a light
color and in the wild can be up to ten feet tall. Historically, as
this species is similar toE.
laurentianus,
it was called also "Encephalartos
laurentianus Lake George",
referring to its specific habitat. The nursery plants I'm
putting on special are in 5 gallon containers and have caudexes
of 4 to 5 inches.
They are about 8 years old and very nice. This is the perfect size for
putting in the garden.
They’ll be overhead in a few years.We have other sizes as well, both larger and smaller. The
last photo shows one of our boxed specimens. Note the appearance
of these plants with their long leaves with narrow leaflets.
Enthusiasts love this species because it's a good growing cycad.
Right on the coast I'd give it half day sun. It's not quite a
sun-tolerant as many of the South African species. Cold tolerance
is into the low 20's F. Some of these are a 15 g size plant.
This means you can get one by mail order without having to pay
for shipping of a 15g pot.

are wider and more red than the Prince of Orange Philodendron. It
wants filtered light or, inside, indirect light. Don't overwater

COCCOTHRINAX BARBADENSIS SLENDER TALL AND CLEAN TRUNK
SMALLER GREEN LEAVES
LIKES SUN AND HEAT
I'm showing you a rare and very cool 5g plant.
This is Coccothrinax barbadensis. It comes from Trinidad,
Venezuelan Antilles, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and probably other
Caribbean locations. It is a taller species with a very thin, clean
trunk. Trunks have been described as "flagpoles" and get over forty
feet tall. With age, old leaf bases fall off giving a clean look. It
has fan leaves about five feet across. Both upper and lower sides are
green. It likes sun, heat and is cold hardy into the twenties, probably
about 25 degrees F. or so.
This is a 5g plant shown here. It would be easy
to ship. We may have 15g size as well. Coccothrinax are slow
to grow and produce in containers. They are much quicker in the
ground. This is a great starter size for you. At this stage, a grower
has over five or six years into producing a 5g plant as shown here. I am
also showing some garden plants. The last photo is one of our 15g
nursery plants. Of note, we may have smaller sizes available than are
shown here.

The Foxtail Palm, Wodyetia
bifuracata, is native to Queensland, Australia and is a single
trunk palm. It gets to about twenty-five feet height, has fluffy
green plumose leaves, is crown shafted as shown below and is single
trunk. It has a thin trunk, usuall mature about six to eight
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.

RHAPIS MULTIFIDA A RARE TYPE OF LADY PALM
ONE OF THE BEST PALMS FOR INSIDE
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.

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

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.

THIN TRUNK, EXOTIC APPEARANCE
SOME DEGREE OF COLD HARDINESS TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This is a tall, thin trunked tropical fan palm
that is native to regions from northeastern India down through the Malay
Peninsula. It is known for its green divided flat leaves that can be
almost six feet in width and have deeply divided segments that go all
the way to the leaf stem. Thus, from below, you see a full flat leaf
that is divided into segments. Tree height can be up to 30 feet. The
trunk is thin, about 4 inches in diameter. It is a filtered light plant
that could works its way into more sun. Cold tolerance is about 30
degrees F. or a bit lower.

Islands near Madagascar is ideal for filtered light. It produces

my experience, has a limited number of trunks. Sometimes plants
remain single trunk – but most sucker. The crown shaft areas of
large plants often shown an assortment of colors including silver, brown
and green. Leaflets are wide and leaves are a bit keeled. It
has prominent rings on the trunk.

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
specimen in Ventura, California. These were winter-spring repots
and are starting to look great.

These markings can be white or dark and resemble “mealy bugs”.Taxonomists have not named it as of yet.It was originally introduced by the late Californian palm pioneer
Mardi Darian.More recently
is has been sold by a few seed merchants. No large specimens are
viewable that I know of in Southern California. We have a very
limited number of these for sale. Cultural information is not yet

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.

DIOON CALIFANOI

TEN DAY SPECIAL VERY NICE 15 GALLON PLANT
There is some type of seductive quality to this rare species – Dioon
califanloi. I think it's because of the compact, rigid, keeled
and curved leaves. The leaves are very distinct and different -
and very appealing. This is a species that takes on the mature
appearance over time. As a young plant you might think it's a
"ho-hummer". But, as it ages, it develops its traditional
appearance and gets more attractive. Leaves are four to five feet
long. In a domestic situation, a plant with a three foot trunk
would be enormous. It takes full sun and is cold hardy into the
lower 20's F.The plant on

PANDANUS FURCATUS VERY COLD HARDY SPECIES OF PANDANUS
EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND SCREW PINE TEN DAY SPECIAL YOUNG PLANTS
Pandanus
are a Monocot with about 750 species worldwide. Many species are native
to Madagascar. They are similar to palm trees but are not true palms.
Many species produce prominent roots from the trunk to help support the
tree. Pandanus furcatus
is known to be quite cold hardy as it is native to northern India and
Nepal (as well of nearby other areas). All Pandanus
come from the Old World. P. furcatus
can get quite tall, even over 40 feet in many decades. Leaves have
spiny margins. It can tolerate a freeze. Be aware that most species do
not tolerate a freeze. The only other species of Pandanus we
grow is P. utilus.
Both are extremely difficult to find for sale. We recently obtained
some smaller furcatus
plants from a private grower. Our band size is shown in the first 6
photos. The specimen is c/o TS at RPS. The 7th and 9th photos are of
larger plants we had about a decade ago.

SPECIAL NICE 5 GALLON
This is an interesting plant we propagate
ourselves from seeds of existing plants. They form small clusters
of shiny green leaf plants that don't get over 18 inches. The new
name (Farfugium giganteum) would lead one to think that the
leaves are "huge' but they are not. Average leaf width is about 8
inches. Flowers come in the fall are yellow, daisy-like and medium
sized. This species enjoys water and will droop over with too
little water. Then, when given water, they bounce right back.
It's a good "indicator plant" for how well you are watering the garden.
They'll take sun in many areas or part day sun. In full sun, give
them plenty of water. These plants do sucker and are easy to
propagate from divisions. This is a great "filler plant" to put in areas
where you want something but don't know what to use. We have other
sizes but are offering really nice 5g on sale.

LEPIDOZAMIA PEROFFSKYANA
USER FRIENDLY CYCAD
LARGE GREEN CYCAD FOR FILTERED LIGHT OR COASTAL SUN
NO SPINES WHATSOEVER! 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 cycad 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. I am
going to show you an assortment of plants. 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. Our stock on
this species includes 1 gallon, 5 gallon, 15g, 25g, 45g and 24 inch
boxes. It is an extremely easy cycad to add to the garden and
always makes an impressive and good sized show.

PARAJUBAEA TORALLYI
THE SOUTH AMERICAN "COCONUT PALM"
TALL SUN PALM – SUPER ATTRACTIVE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON PLANTS
This morning I thought I'd talk about this South American palm and
include a fair amount of information. I'm doing this because I've
found there is often confusion with the genus "Parajubaea".
I included the common name of "South American Coconut" for this genus
because the new palm enthusiast will most likely forget these long
winded scientific names. I particularly want to emphasize P. torallyi because
I think it's such a great plant and easy to grow. The latter has
two forms as described below - along with two other species of this
genus.
Parajubaeas are all from South America. There are three
species and one sub-variety. These are Parajubaea cocoides,
sunkha, and torallyi. Parajubaea torallyi has a
sub-variety named P. torallyi variety microcarpa.P.
cocoides has historically been the species that people have grown
for the longest period. This species is a bit different appearing
than all the others with greener leaves and slower growth. The
other three types of Parajubaeas began their notoriety when seeds
began being imported. The seeds are very large (hence the term
"Coconut"), shaped like a Coconut seed in a way, and some have the most
peculiar wings or flanges at the end.
Of these three other species/varieties, all are easier to grow and
faster than P. cocoides. Long term survival has also been
better in California. All are from high elevation in the Andes in
Bolivia. P. torallyi comes from elevations of up to ten thousand
feet and has been reported to be the "highest elevation palm tree in the
world". Cold tolerance of these three later species is excellent,
with some surviving into the upper teens F. All have a somewhat
silver-green leaf and leaflets. All have a husky trunk. To
compare these palms, here's a synopsis.
Parajubaea torallyi: Tallest of the three, up to
fifty feet. Husky trunk averaging 18 inches. Largest seed of
the group. Fast growing in the ground. Parajubaea torallyi varietymicrocarpa:
Smaller than regular torallyi, trunk height to 30 perhaps 40
feet, thinner trunk, smaller seed, equal growth habit. These are
super hard to find nowadays. Parajubaea sunkha:Originally thought to be
variety of torallyi, now known to be a species. Smallest of
these three species with trunk height 25 feet. In habitat, grows
at lower elevation, 6000 feet. Parajubaea cocoides: Natural habitat not known, may
actually be a variety of P. torallyi, less cold hardy than others
above, less silver in the leaves. Not as good a grower as any of
the three above.
This is a full sun genus. It is best to start them in strong filtered
light. Germination of seeds is difficult and demands a "long
thermometer" with hot days and cold nights. The last two photos are, in
order, by Tobias Spanner and Andrew Henderson.

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA
SUCKERING AND SINGLE TRUNK MOUNTAIN FORM
FAIRLY EASY TO GROW
TODAY OFFERING THE SINGLE TRUNK FORM TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
When one considers the species Laccospadix
australasica, one has to realize that there are different forms
depending on native habitats and localities. There are 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. This variety
of the L. australasica is fairly easy to grow in our area.
Some highland varieties will sucker. Seeds came from a fruiting
tree in Encinitas, CA. This variety has thinner leaves that are
dull green in color, trunks about six inches thick and reaches a height
of about 15 feet. 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. The 5g
are shown in the first 5 photos followed by a nursery 15g plant.

This species of exotic palm is from the island of Madagascar. It
is the third of three Beccariophoenix species described from this

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 5g

This attractive medium sized Dypsis comes from the Island of

other times suckering. This variability in the number of trunks is
seen with quite a few Dypsis. It gets to a height of thirty
feet, has silver or silver-green trunks with prominent rings, with six
foot long leaves on short petioles. The leaves are sometimes
keeled in cross-section. Growth is rapid. In our area of
Southern California, part day sun seems to work well. Inland areas
show put in strong filtered light. Cold tolerance is into the
mid-twenties F. We have available a limited number of fairly nice
15 plants that are already suckering.
This species is similar to Dypsis lanceolata. A way I
recognize D. pembana when juvenile is by the upper stem, where
you see a definite speckled tan color below the newly emerging spear. Dypsis

DIOON MEJIAE AN ATTRACTIVE MEDIUM SIZED GREEN CYCAD
PART DAY SUN OR FILTERED LIGHT TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 2
GALLON PLANTS For many people, Dioon
mejiae is one of their favorite cycads. It doesn't get too large, it
has a very attractive crown of leaves, and newly emerging leaves are
soft, fuzzy and so inviting. They are almost like a baby rabbit's
foot.Native to southern
Mexico and Honduras, this species is similar to Dioon
sinulosum. But, unlike the spinulosum,
leaflets do not have the spines on the leaflet edges. And, the
leaflets appear slightly different shaped. Leaves are four to six
feet long, trunks typically under five feet in domestic gardens -
although old habitat plants have trunks over twenty feet, and new leaves
emerge vertically. Although they are soft at emergence, they
eventually become straight and flat with firm leaves.Seeds of this species are large and tan in color.I've found this cycad does best in part day sun or strong
filtered light. Right on the coast, some grow it in full sun.
But, more sun creates more of a lime colored green cycad. For this
reason, I prefer filtered light. It likes good draining soil and
will tolerate temperatures into the low 20's F. We’re offering
nice 2 gallon plants with caudexes of about 4 inches - shown in the

In about the year 2003, this new species was discovered and described by
cycad taxonomists. Since then, it has been the dream of collectors
to obtain it. Native to Oaxaca, Mexico, it grows in a dry scrub
forest among pine trees at 2500 to 5000 foot elevations. It is
most known for its silver color to the leaves. This is because
leaflets and leaf stems have a plentiful amount of white hairs.
One can mistake these for a mealy bug infestation, but they are from
these hairs. I don’t know if it shows, but one photo below tries
to show a leaflet closeup to see the hairs. Mature specimens have about
a foot wide caudex and can get up to 15 feet. Along the coast it'd
take full sun and should be cold hardy to the low 20's F. The

SAGO PALMS - CYCAS REVOLUTA
MEDIUM TO LARGE GREEN CYCAD
THE MOST COMMON CYCAD WORLDWIDE
GOOD LANDSCAPE OPPORTUNITY TEN DAY
SPECIAL TWO SIZES - NONE SMALL PLANTS
This week we just got in about 20 near mature
(coning sized) Cycas revoluta.
This cycad is called the "Sago Palm" even though it's a cycad and not a
palm. Worldwide it is the most commonly used cycad for landscape
purposes. But, it is a slow growing species and can take many years to
get sizes shown below. All these plants were dug from a collection and
put into pots. They were put into either a 15g or a 25g pot. The
minimum size we obtained had caudexes of six to eight seven inches.
The largest have trunks 12 inches thick and 24 or more inches tall.
Leaves are green and somewhat keeled and at least 3 to 4 feet long. On
almost all we do not know the sex. BTW, this species digs nicely and we
very rarely lose one.
I have broken them down into two groups: smaller and larger. The
smaller have a vertical or horizontal trunk under six to eight inches.
The larger group have a horizontal or vertical trunk height more than
six to eight inches. This is regardless of the pot size.

ENCEPHALARTOS TEGULANEUS RARE CYCAD FROM KENYA
LARGER CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD WITH UPRIGHT LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 1.5 GALLON SIZE
This is a large Central African cycad with an erect trunk up to thirty
feet that is native to Mt. Lolokwe in the center of Kenya. It is a
fairly high elevation plant, up to 2000 feet natively. As shown in
the photos, leaves are four to six feet long and go upwards at about a
60 degree angle. Color is a gray-green, definitely not a lime
color. The leaves are basically flat in cross section.
Leaflets are thin, crowded and perhaps slightly cupped - and are spiny
along the margins until older plants lose the spines.
Like most cycads, this species likes good
draining soil. I'd recommend less than full sun with perhaps half
day sun along the coast. Inland areas would require bright
filtered light. At our nursery, this species tolerated 25 degrees F.
with no problem. I suspect the coldest it will take is a few
degrees below this. Although this species is getting near
impossible to find, we do have an assortment of sizes available
including a large, near coning boxed plant. We are presently offering
some 1.5 gallons on Special. These are three to four years old.I am also showing a nice garden plant and a close up of the
leaflets.

It's been a while since I've presented this customer favorite - the
Birdsnest Fern, Asplenium nidus. They are an ideal understory
plant for the garden floor but can also be grown inside the home or in a
patio area. Leaves are green and shiny. They want filtered
light and ample water. Like most ferns, you don't want them to go
dry. A large specimen plant could have a crown spread of six or
seven feet. You have to keep snails away from them. The

TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SPECIES
This is a great Bromeliad for Southern California - or for many areas in
the country where severe cold is not seen. Native to eastern
Brazil, they get heights of three to four feet and tolerate full sun
easily here along our coast. Cold hardiness is into the mid to
upper twenties F. I prefer the colorful forms although green is
also seen. Leaf color ranges from green to yellow and to
orange-red as seen here.
The problem is that they are hard to find. They are rarely seen in
nurseries.The plants shown
here are in 7 and 15 gallon containers.They pup freely.A

GERMINATING
PALM SEEDS:
DO YOU HAVE BAD PALM SEEDS?
WHICH SEEDS TO PICK?
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF A SEED IS NOT GOOD?
THE FLOAT TEST
THE PINCH TEST
CUT THE SEED OPEN
ALWAYS CLEAN OFF THE FRUIT
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.
RULES TO FOLLOW:
1. Get fresh seeds. Right off the tree is best.
2. Pick seeds that are mature, often colorful. Most common
colors are red, orange, yellow, brown or black. Immature, green
seeds germinate poorly. Don't pick or collect seeds that are
green!
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. Any seed that collapses between your fingers is no good.
5. Float Test the seeds. Cleaned 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 inner seed should be white or
light tan, solid and without signs of rot. And, you definitely do
not want to see inner cavities. Inner cavities 99% of the time
means the seed is bad.
7. Remove all outer fruit before germinating. Some experts
feel that this outer fruit later has growth inhibitors. Even fruit
that is not a bright color or is dry or scaly must be removed.
This outer layer may be brown and hard but needs removal - see photos
below.
8. 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, seeds that failed the pinch test, seeds with hard outer layers
that still have to have this layer removed and a few seeds cut open
showing inner cavities (a bad sign). For techniques on
germination, see our article onPalm

CYCAD SEEDLINGS - LOTS OF THEM GROWN IN BAND CONTAINERS
THIS DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THEY ARE SMALL
BUT, THEY ARE ALWAYS EASY TO SHIP
For over forty years
we've been propagating and selling cycads to our customers. Crucial to
any cycad nursery has always been obtaining viable seeds for
germination. It's certainly gotten more difficult over the decades to
obtain desirable seeds. But, we have been fortunate to continue
offering smaller and more affordable cycads for sale. We presently have
for sale thousands of small cycads of at least 75 species.
We do a lot of our own germination. The fifth photo below shows a flat
of Encephalartos eugene-marisii germinating. Once germinated,
new seedlings go into our band containers - a square and tall pot
measuring 3 x 3 x 9 inches. We were one of the first nurseries in the
country to utilize these pots. Now it's standard practice
country-wide. As we have about 25,000 cycads in stock, we don't always
get time to repot cycads that are too big for their band containers.
This is a good thing for you, the consumer. It means that many times
our band cycads are five years old or longer. They often have super
developed roots and are on their fifth to six leaf or more. Some photos
demonstrate this - note the plant sizes.
Another nice thing about getting band sized plants is that they are
quite affordable to ship for mail orders. And, we can nestle quite a
few plants in one box for shipping - always in their containers with
soil. And, sometimes we put our band sized cycads on sale. We hope
that you can take advantage of these often "much bigger than other
nurseries" band sized cycads. Most nurseries sell seedlings with only
one or two small leaves. Photos below show many of our band sized
plants with photos of flats of cycads or growing benches. Incidentally,
at our nursery we have about a mile of running benches and display
areas.
OUR CYCAD SOIL
JUST GOT IN A NEW BATCH
WE DO SELL IT BY THE 15 GALLON BAG
Photos here show our cycad soil. Our basic
ingredients are pumice, coarse sand (#12), fir wood chips, fir shavings,
peat moss, perlite, and a touch of high grade topsoil. We also add
dolomite and a slow release Osmocote fertilizer. Be aware, there is no
"perfect" single mix or formulae that you have to use. At this website
I do give a specific component ratios for a cycad mix. (link below)
This soil shown will support most cycads and is quick draining. One
ideally might alter it for tropical species like lushZamia. We
sell this cycad mix by the bag for those who don't have the capacity to
make their own.
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.

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 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.

What good fortune is it that New Caledonia

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

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

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.

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.

there are less leaflets per leaf and leaf tips tend to be more pointed.
It does sucker and will make a cute clump of stems. It wants filtered
light. I'd estimate the cold hardiness into the upper twenties F. We

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

STUNNING BLUE COLOR
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS ACTUAL PLANT!
Shown below is a forty
year old specimen of the desirable blue South African cycad, Encephalartos
trispinosus. Most people find it's very similar to E.
horridus.This plant is a
known female from the cone.
This species is a small to
medium sized mature blue cycad with leaflets that have prominent lobes.
But, be aware that this species is quite variable and has many forms.
There is even a spineless leaflet form. It likes full sun and is
cold hardy to about 22 degrees F. This specimen plant came from a
famous private collection.It has been in sun allof its life.The caudex size is given above.
I'd like to explain the method of
pricing large cycads. For over 15 years the price of basic blue
South African cycads (E. horridus, trispinosus, lehmannii and
longifolius) has been $150 per inch when the caudex is just a
ball. But, it takes decades
to produce a plant as shown here. We add on half of the vertical
trunk height to the width and multiple this by the $150 per inch price.
This is what we did 15 years ago! No increase in price.
And, with a significant discount, any purchaser would be getting
what we feel is a great deal, especially knowing that cycads are one of
the rarest and most protected plants on this planet.

CYCAS
TAITUNGENSIS THE EMPEROR CYCAD
MEDIUM
SIZED COLD HARDY GREEN CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD CITRUS POT SIZE
Cycas taitungensis is
a species of cycad from China and Taiwan. It used to be known as Cycas
taiwaniana.
In fact, some reference books around still refer to it by this name.
It is a medium to large cycad with trunk diameter of twelve to eighteen
inches and height of ten feet. It is known as the Emperor Cycad.
It is similar to a Sago Palm but with some noted differences. The
leaves are longer and wider than the C. revoluta. They also tend
to be flatter. The color is deep green. Also, growth rate is
much faster and cold hardiness is better than the Sago. It is not
unusual for this species to throw two or three sets of leaves a year.
In the crown area, the tomentum is a very prominent orange color, a good
clue as to the species. I think it's a bit more tropical and lush
appearing than the Sago Palm. There are reports of this species
easily tolerating mid-teen F. temperatures. Also, it likes full
sun except in desert areas.
The citrus pot size we’re putting on sale have caudexes of 4 to 6
inches. This one shown has a

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

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.
We have a limited number of 20 gallon plants. We're putting them
on sale.
REGULAR PRICE 20 GALLON $500

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.
We're putting the 15g on Special.They are of nice size.

CHAMAEDOREA HOOPERIANA BAMBOO PALM THAT IS TALL AND FULL
STRONG & LARGE 10 & 15 GALLON PLANTS
ALMOST SOLD OUT OF THESE TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE PLANTS
It's not that uncommon that I'll talk about various types of Bamboo
Palms. Three decades ago this species (Chamaedorea
hooperiana) would have probably
been called a variety of Chamaedorea
costaricana. But, in his book
on Chamaedorea,
Don Hodel described this species named after friend and palm enthusiast
Louis Hooper. So, it now enjoys its own status as a species.
And, it deserved species status because it is quite different than Chamaedorea
costaricana. This species
is native to high elevation rain forest in the Veracruz area of Mexico.
It grows at up to 5000 feet elevation in habitat.
It reaches an overall height of twelve to fourteen feet. It is
also quite wide at maturity with many canes. These canes will
sometimes lean outwards, making the clump wider. Trunks are about
one inch thick. Compared to Chamaedorea
costaricana, this
species is more full and wide. It's hard to "see through" this
species whereas you'd have a better chance of seeing through
a costaricana. Both are suckering types of Bamboo Palms.
Also, the leaves of costaricana are
shorter. Hooperiana leaves
are four feet long or more.
Shown here is one of our ten or fifteen gallon plants.This species likes good draining soil, adequate water, filtered
light and is cold hardy to the low 20's F. It is an ideal patio
plant and can be grown inside the home. REGULAR PRICE 10 or 15 GALLON $275

to describe the leaves. Overall, the leaf color is variable and
I've shown several photos here to demonstrate this. I've seen

RHAPIS HUMILIS
RARE TYPE OF LADY PALM
TWO LARGE SPECIMEN PLANTS AVAILABLE
GET TO OVER 20 FEET AND TAKE COASTAL SUN
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE PLANTS
Rhapis humilisis
a tall, suckering and thin trunked fan palm. It is a type of "Lady
Palm" and this species is one of the most sought after. This is
because it's a great growing species, has strong canes that don't bend
over and gets significantly tall for the genus - tallest of the Rhapis genus.
It does sucker and produces canes averaging one inch or a bit bigger in
diameter. Leaves hold up to twenty leaflets that are narrow, a bit
droopy, dark green and come to a point at their ends. The more
common Rhapis excelsa leaflets come to a blunt tip at the end of
the leaflets. The amazing thing about this species is that it
attains such tall heights. I've seen specimens that have reached
twenty-four feet! Compare this to the average height of a R.
excelsa at six to eight. Finally, the Rhapis humilis is
known to tolerate full sun along the coast.
Below I'm showing you two plants in extra deep 25 gallon pots.
They are from divisions of a mother plant about 10 months ago.Heights are about 14 feet. These two plants are not
inexpensive and truly deserve a great private or botanical garden for
display. The 11th photo is from the L.A.A. taken by staff there.

The classic dwarf form only gets three to four feet tall. The
trunking form shown here easily can reach much taller.There are only a few large specimens that I have seen.But, mature height appears to be 15 to 18 feet.And, trunks are fairly thin.From an appearance point of view, I’d recommend planting several
plants as a small colony.
Along the coast, these can tolerate a large amount of sun and some are
growing them in full sun close to the ocean. The plant shown below
was growing in near full sun.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. I am putting this specimen cluster
of three plants on special.
I only have one of this height.
You'll note that one plant is a female. An adjacent plant is a
made and the female has good sees developing. This plant is
about 14 feet tall or a bit
more (in the pot). I’d estimate
age at ten to twelve years.
I do have very nice 5 gallon plants but in limited numbers.

CHAMAEDOREA TEPEJILOTE
SINGLE TRUNK, TALL
SHADE-LOVING PINNATE PALM
DARK GREEN RINGED TRUNK
OFTEN GROWN AS A "MULTIPLE"
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G 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. One 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 outside is into the mid-twenties
F. It needs filtered light, even when tall. We have singles
and some multiples in our 15 gallon size which we are putting on sale.They are very nice and really too big for mail order.For the latter folks, get our 5 gallon size.

CHAMBEYRONIA HOOKERI THE BLONDE FLAME THROWER PALM
GORGEOUS PALM FROM NEW CALEDONIA
USUALLY HAVE NICE NEW PURPLE-RED LEAF TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Shown is a nice example of a 15 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

ANOTHER SPECIES OF THIS GREAT GENUS TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G
SIZE!
This species ofBurretiokentiacomes
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 allBurretiokentia.
Culture is similar to the otherBurretiokentia,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.

DICTYOSPERMA FURFURACEUM
NOW KNOWN AS
DICTYOSPERMA ALBUM VARIETY CONJUGATUM
SMALLER SPECIES, WHITE-SILVER CROWN SHAFT
NEAR EXTINCT IN THE WILD
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON PLANTS
Among taxonomists, Dictyosperma is known as a "monotypic" genus.
This means there is only one species. We enthusiasts have always
been troubled by this as, when we look at specimen plants, they are so
different. But, this is what it is. Older varietal names
such as "rubrum" and "furfuraceum" are out. Now the
taxonomist say there are three varieties of Dictyosperma album -
and the prior variety called "rubrum" apparently is grouped with
the aureum present type variety.
If this is confusing, realize it's always been confusing and I totally
agree. But, remember that taxonomists have to make a living by
re-naming things.
Currently there are three varieties of D. album:
Dictyosperma album variety album
Dictyosperma album variety aureum
Dictyosperma album variety conjugatum
What we've known as D. furfuraceum is now called D. album
variety conjugatum. This is the smallest species of the group and
gets to mature heights of ten to fifteen feet. It's from Round
Island. Reports are that it is critically endangered with only a
few plants remaining in the wild. It has a definite white powdery
color to leaf stems and to the crown shaft.
It's near impossible to find the Dictyosperma conjugatum for
sale. Previously we had some old specimens but those are long
gone. We're offering you plants in 2 gallon pots presently on special.
These were repotted About six months ago and are a bit further along

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.
The photos below show a 15 gallon plant with long leaves and an 8 inch

For the past two
years, we have gotten in something brand new to the nursery market and
our Nursery. They typically have sold out within a few days.
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
would consider part sun or strong filtered light. By report, it
will take a freeze. We only have a few dozen plants. They’ll
probably sell out quickly. They
can be mail ordered but may take an oversized box to ship.

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

ALOCASIA CAL-ODORA THE
MINIATURE ELEPHANT EAR
NEVER OVER ABOUT THREE FEET TALL
Customers often shy away from the regular
Elephant EarAlocasiabecause of it's
potential size of up to eight feet with huge leaves. There is even one
species that gets super tall and almost takes over the garden. But,
what I'm showing you here (Alocasia Cal-Odora) is a true dwarf
with plants that never get much above your knees. The leaves are a foot
wide and color is green. They are an ideal plant where you want a low

This species can take full coastal sun or part day sun and filtered
light in all areas. They do like and respond to water. We sell a ton
of these but do have limited supplies of five and fifteen gallon

F. Growth rate is medium. You have to have an overhead crown
of leaves to really see the silver color.

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

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

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

TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE BAND SIZE
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

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

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

TREES IN FRUIT
Wodyetia bifurcata, a species from
Queensland, Australia, is known for it's fluffy leaves, medium stature
and bright red and large fruit. Shown here are several plants in fruit
in various stages. Fruit first appears green. Fruit will attain full
size but still be green. Then it changes to a light yellow, then to
orange and finally to a prominent red. At this red stage it may fall to
the ground. When red, it is ready to be removed and germinated. Green
fruit germinates poorly. Fruit size is about like a small chicken egg.
Seeds inside are brown and prominently grooved. In our local growing
area here in San Diego, we've had scores of mature trees of this species

It has a cold tolerance of about 24 to 25 degrees F. It is a slow

been outdoor grown in sun. Be aware this species is often sold as
a "multiple" with several in the same pot. But, as a single, they
grow faster and some feel appear more beautiful. A big difference
when you grow them in the sun is that the leaflet hang downwards
(droopy). Photos show this below.
This species also does great indoors and is one of the most popular
interior palms around. There are seven photos of our nursery

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 $225 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

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

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

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
of 3 to 5-6 inches. We have about a half dozen of them. All

cupidus and nubimontanus.
Encephalartos eugene-maraisii is a medium to large species with
trunk height up to almost ten feet. It will sucker from the base.
Leaf color is blue or blue-green. The leaves are sharply keeled
giving a "V-shape" in cross section. Leaf length is two to five
feet. Leaflets are 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide and have a sharp
terminal tip. Encephalartos middleburgensis is a closely
related species and was originally felt to be a subspecies of eugene-maraisii.
This is a full sun cycad. In the wild it commonly sees freezing
temperatures. In culture it is know to tolerate mid to low 20's F.

SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
Encephalartos lebomboensis is
native to the Lebombo Mountains in South Africa.It is most closely related to
Encephalartos senticosus.Leaves are green, typically three to
five feet long and have thin, heavily spined leaflets.But, overall, this is not a large
cycad species. In fact, it is relatively compact for an Encephalartos.
In a lifetime most would see a mature tree that has perhaps six feet of
trunk.There are many century old plants in
the wild with fifteen to twenty feet of trunk.Overall, the crown width is about six
feet. This species wants full sun along the coast and has a cold
tolerance to the low 20's F. It is not hard to grow. The

The Red Banana is an ideal landscape item for color
and beauty. They have a definite and prominent red color to the
leaf stems, trunk and backs of the leaves. The dorsal leaf also
shows a flush of red. Mature size is about ten feet but sometimes
a bit more or less. Basal diameter at maturity is 12 to 16 inches.
Be aware they are fast growing but only last five or six years before
flowering and dying. But, if you replace the plant, they quickly
offer a good sized plant to replace the last one. They do not bear
fruit, like full sun and are cold tolerant down to about a freeze.
If you want bananas, get an edible fruiting Banana which we also carry.

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.

BECCARIOPHOENIX ALFREDII
THE MADAGASCAR PLATEAU COCONUT PALM
MEDIUM SIZES SINGLE TRUNK PALM
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.

CHAMAEDOREA TRUNKING RADICALIS
QUICK GROWING, SINGLE STEM
FAIRLY COLD HARDY - TOLERATE SUN
WE HAVE SINGLES AND MULTIPLES
LARGE FIVE GALLON SIZE - TEN DAY SPECIAL
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
on sale. Note: We have limited numbers available with this sale.
Some of these are too tall to mail order.

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.

SPINY SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM THE
ISLANDS OF MAURITIUS AND REUNION
LESS SPINES AS GETS OLDER
EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
AVAILABLE NOW SEVERAL 5G PLANTS ON SPECIAL
This single trunk palm is quite uncommon
in enthusiast yards. This is probably because it's so difficult to
find but also because it only takes temperatures just below a freeze but
not much lower. So, one needs an ideal climate to succeed with
this species. Juvenile plants like shown below have prominent
spines on the trunk and petioles. However, with age these
disappear. There is a red color to the leaf stems and sometimes
the leaves. Mature height is expected to be ten to fifteen feet.
The trunk is thin, about 4 to 6 inches. There is a reddish crown
shaft. It would like some sun but not full sun when small.
Preferably it would work its way up into the sun. In more tropical
areas like HI, plants are known to get up to twenty feet tall or more.
The plants on sale are nice 5 gallon size.

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.

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
need good draining soil. My thanks to TS at RPS for the first
habitat photo. The plants on sale were repotted this past winter.

that has been found in the wild in Louisiana and adjacent states on
either side. It has blue-green leaves with a mature height of six
feet. It is also super cold hardy with reports of it going a bit below
zero F. As it is an understory palm in habitat, one would anticipate
it'd do well in strong filtered light or perhaps half day sun. In the

This species is endemic to Msinga district in KwaZulu-Natal province,
South Africa. E. msinganusis on the
verge of extinction, where ever shrinking populations are small and
scattered. This is a small to medium sized plant. Leaves get
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
light. It requires a soil that drains well. The plants on

IDEAS FOR ADDING COLORFUL COMPANION PLANTS
Two years ago I visited Sherman Botanical Garden in Corona Del Mar, CA.
I wanted to show photos from that visit thinking perhaps it would give
some of you ideas on adding color to the garden.
This is a small coastal community near Laguna Beach. What I really
enjoy about this garden is their usage of colorful and tropical
companion plants. The garden is meticulously maintained and very
attractive. I thought I'd show some photos of some of the garden's
colorful plants. Included are Bromeliads, Anthurium, Begonias,
Camelia, Ligularia, Cyclamen, Violets Alocasia and many other types
of plants. All were being grown outdoors, some in sun and others in

sun, heat and is cold hardy to the low 20’s F.It doesn’t like the grower to fool with or cut its roots.These cannot be transplanted once established in the garden.They get a husky trunk and probably about 40 feet tall in many
decades.This is a very
attractive palm and should be given room in the garden to show it off.
Many people in desert locations have found they can grow it. Shown
below is our 15 gallon size that we have on special. This is a
good size to start with and should take off quickly.

ARCHONTOPHOENIX MAXIMA LARGEST OF THE KING PALMS
GREEN LEAVES – STATELY TRUNK AND CROWN TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
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. The plants I'm
putting on special are the 5 gallon size, mostly singles. It tolerates
full coastal sun and is cold hardy into the mid-twenties F. Another
interesting thing is that sometimes they’ll throw a new red leaf as
shown in one photo below.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $95
Of note, our Archontophoenix "teracarpa" is probably a larger
King Palm than A. maxima but still escapes exact species
identification. It does not have silver undersides to the leaflets and
has a blue crown shaft. It is routinely discussed elsewhere at this
Blog. The habitat photo is by Luke Nancarrow AU.
WIDE GREEN LEAFLETS – THIN GREEN TRUNK TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON
PLANTS
This palm is an understory species from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
It gets to a height of ten to fifteen feet with a thin trunk of about an
inch or a bit more. It has wide, irregularly spaced leaflets on
leaves that can get over five feet long. These leaflets can be up
to six inches wide and come to a prominent "drip tip" at their ends.
The trunk is thin and prominently ringed.I'm also showing an old photo of a more mature plant’s female
flower with near-mature black seeds. This is one super attractive
species.In terms of
culture, it is a shade loving species. So, one would plant it
under canopy. It would probably look great as a small colony of
three or four plants. Cold tolerance is into the mid to upper
twenties F. It is a rare species to see in gardens but is worth
seeking out.We’re
putting 5 gallon on Special.

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.

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.

DYPSIS ALBOFARINOSA
CLUMPING MADAGASCAR PALM
WHITE CROWN SHAFTS - VERY RARE
PLANTS SHOWN HERE FROM DOMESTIC SEEDS TEN DAY SPECIAL 1G SIZE
This clumping medium sized palm is native to Madagascar. It has
previously been called "Dypsis species white petiole". It
was formally described by Don Hodel about fifteen years ago. It is
most closely related to Dypsis baronii and known for its
prominently white crown shafts. Leaves are drooping with rather
fine leaflets. Trunks average about two inches diameter.
Plant height is a maximum of approximately fifteen feet. It can be grown
in full coastal sun but should be allowed to grow up and into the sun.
So, starting in bright filtered light is best. Exact cold
hardiness is uncertain but most likely in the mid-twenties F. range.

Tansacha of Non-Nooch Botanical Garden. Heights can read 20 feet but
are generally shorter. Trunks are thin with a swollen base up to 3 feet
across. Leaves are green and flat in cross section. This is a rare
cycad to find. In most areas it can take part or possibly full day

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

Even older species, around for quite a while, add color and charm to the

This is a "just for fun" post of
many close up photographs of the leaflets of an assortment of unusual
Encephalartos species from either South or Central Africa. I
am showing you these to demonstrate the diversity of the leaflets of

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 pictures
were taken twelve inches away while others show more leaflets, taken at
two feet. I'll not get into mentioning the species shown here but
rather show them as a whole so you see how different they are from each
other. All photos were taken on nursery plants recently.

RHAPIDOPHYLLUM HYSTRIX
THE NEEDLE PALM
WORLD'S MOST COLD HARDY PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL THREE 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. The fourth
picture below shows small needles forming on the trunk. The first
five photos show the 3g on sale.In sun the 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. The

ACTINOKENTIA DIVARICATA
THE MINIATURE FLAME THROWER PALM
PREFERS FILTERED LIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This thin trunked, medium sized palm comes from New Caledonia where it
lives in habitat below overhead tree canopy. It is very slow
growing. It has a trunk diameter, at maturity, of about three
inches. It has a cream colored crown shaft and a sparse crown of
five to six leaves. It is often seen "leaning" for light among
competing plants. For a nursery, producing a nice 5g plant takes
about five years. For this reason, few nurseries grow this
species. Planted in the garden, growth rate picks up a bit but is
still slow. Newly emerging leaves are often red in color. If
you are in a drier climate, this species would definitely take filtered
light. Since the trunk is small and the canopy is medium sized at
most, it is a good species to "sneak into that small, filtered light
area". Cold tolerance is into the low twenties, F. I've
known this species to grow in the San Francisco Bay area.
We have a very limited supply of Actinokentia.
Of note, this is a monotypic genus with only one species in the genus.
Shown here is one of our 5g plants and photos from habitat and domestic
plants.Note the long
slender crown shaft and how plants don't carry very many leaves. We've
been selling this species for over 20 years and typically have one or

SYAGRUS BOTRYOPHORA THE PATI PALM

INTERESTING THINNER TRUNK PALM WIDELY SEPARATED LEAVES WHEN YOUNG
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This is a rare species of single trunk, pinnate palm from lowland
Atlantic Brazil. It has been called one of the top ten most
beautiful palms in the world.It is fairly difficult to find. It gets quite tall, over
forty feet, yet has a surprisingly thin trunk of less than twelve
inches. Leaves are about ten feet long and come off the trunk at a
45 degree angle and then arch toward the ground. The leaves are
keeled and green in color. The trunk is prominently ringed.
Given ample heat and lack of severe cold, this is a very fast
growing species. It is known to put on four feet of trunk a year
or more. If you look at the mature garden plant below, you will
see many leaves that are green and still attached to the trunk over a
long trunk distance, almost forming a "ladder-like" appearance to the
leaves where one could easily climb the trunk. This may be the
result of its rapid growth. When mature the leaves are more
tightly grouped. The trunk surface is fibrous but turns smooth
over time with a gray-brown color. Shown here are some 5g plants
(spring repots) that we’re putting on special. This species does
want full sun or perhaps filtered light with the opportunity to grow
into full sun. Cold tolerance is uncertain, but felt to be in the
mid 20's F. One last comment. This species has been called
the "Slender Queen Palm" and the "Pati Palm".

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII EASTERN CAPE BLUE CYCAD
FULL SUN, NEVER VERY BIG
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
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
about 22 degrees F. Our band size which are on sale are shown in

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

size. These came recently from a private collection and some need
to throw out new leaves. But, all are super healthy and have seen
temperatures well into the twenties. The first 8 photos show
examples of these, about 40 specimen cycads.

SUPER UNUSUAL ENCEPHALARTOS HYBRID F2 HYBRID WITH E. WOODII POLLEN
ENCEPHALARTOS (E. NATALENSIS X E. WOODII) X
(ENCEPHALARTOS HORRIDUS X E. WOODII) TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This should prove to be one of the most
interesting hybrid Encephalartos
available on the market. It is an F2 hybrid. These were done from
domestic plants in Southern California. The hybridizer took pollen from
the E. horridus x woodii
to pollinate a receptive female of
E. natalensis x woodii. As most
know, E. woodii
is extinct in the wild and only male plants are known to exist. E. horridus x woodii
(Encephalartos "horwood")
is one of the most sought after hybrids around. I've shown multiple
photos of the plants on Special as well as close up photos of the leaves
of both parents.

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.

tall. They have thin trunks and can take a freeze with some
damage. Severe cold will kill them. They usually survive
temperatures in the mid to upper twenties F. The variety shown below has
predominant red leaves and are the “Florica” variety. The
unusual thing about these plants is their near mature size. You never
see them available like this. Some in the pots are overhead. But, we
only have a handful of these. I would recommend bright filtered light

CERATOZAMIA ZARAGOZAE
FEMALE PLANT IN CONE RARE SPECIES - PICTURES OF THIS SPECIES
I wanted to show you photos of a super rare
Ceratozamia that a lot of you have never seen before. It is Ceratozamia zaragozae.
It is native to northeaster Mexico and is critically endangered because
of habitat loss. It is a smaller cycad species. As you can see it has
very thin leaflets. It is similar to Ceratozamia norstogii (plumosa)
in this aspect. A peculiarity is that the arrangement of the small
leaflets twist or twirl along the leaf axis on both. But, C. zaragozae
has no spines on the petioles. This is a good way to tell these two
apart. This is a female plant with a close-up of the female cone. It
came from a private collection and sold quickly to an enthusiast - but I
figured you'd like to see it. My thanks to RK and Wikipedia for
the 10th & 11th photos below.
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.
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.

DON'T LIKE TOO MUCH
NITROGEN LIMITED SUPPLIES AVAILABLE TEN DAY
SPECIAL ANY VARIEGATED RHAPIS WE HAVE
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 leaflet
photos below are an assortment of our Nursery plants.
The variegation consists of very narrow bands of yellow on green.
They are sort of hard to see here. On any given leaflets there are
lots of these narrow, subtle stripes.
Contact us if you are interested in getting one. BTW, these are
never inexpensive plants. And, they are all different. The
variegation seems to be different from leaf to leaf on all varieties.

palm that is easy to grow and has a very ornamental leaf with deep
divisions of the segments. Its leaf segments almost make a
complete circle. Leaf color is green. The spines on the
petioles tend to be dark in color and dramatic, usually the thing most
people remember most about this species. Another interesting thing
is that the seed fruit is blue in color as shown below. It is a
sun species and cold hardy into the mid to low-twenties. The 15g

RHOPALOSTYLIS HYBRID SAPIDA X BAUERI
SHOWING HYBRID VIGOR - SHOULD BE A WINNER! TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
For those of you with growing experience, you
understand that palms, even monoecious palms, can hybridize. We got in
some plants and were told that they were "sapida".
But, looking at them you'll know they are not pure sapida.
Seeds came off a Rhopalostylis sapida
seed bearing tree. The dark petioles (brown) and downward flexing
leaves show that they are a hybrid -
baueri blood. Sorry, but I have no
photos of a mature garden tree of this hybrid. They can take part day

LARGER PINNATE PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
TEN DAY SPECIAL RARELY SEEN 5G SIZE
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
are very nicely sized but repotted this summer, so keep them in their
pots for a while.

SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
It's been a few years since we've offered this
rare single trunk Pinanga
from the island of Java, Indonesia. A different thing about this
species is that it is single trunk. Juvenile plants have solid, simple
leaves as shown in the photos. But, over time, they become pinnate
leaves as seen on the larger garden specimen. The mature trunk is thin
and ringed. Leaves are six feet long or more - green in color. The
thing about this species is that no one has it! Shown are the 5g plants
we're putting on Special. It wants filtered light and is cold hardy
down to about a freeze.

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.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $125

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

CHAMAEDOREA KLOTZSCHIANA SINGLE TRUNK MEXICAN CHAMAEDOREA
THIN TRUNKED, GROUPED LEAFLETS TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON
MULTIPLES
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
about 25 degrees. These
plants should probably work fine as a house plant and are shippable in a
good sized box.

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

beautiful blue color and glamour. We're hoping that the E. longifolius seed bearer will give it stacking of the
leaflets and very curved leaves. But, no one can be sure what this
hybrid will look like. They are healthy band sized seedlings and
already showing blue color. They should like coastal sun and be cold

This species very rare
blue cycad is endemic to the Limpopo province, South
Africa. It can be found at high elevations in the
mountains (around one thousand meters), in low deciduous
forest and precipitous slopes and cliff (in partial and
full sun). The species is almost gone in the wild,
populations are small and scattered. It is among the
species located in the Transvaal region of South Africa,
and is highly sought after.
This is a small to medium sized species. Leaf length
can range between one to two meters, and stems can reach
a height of two and a half to three meters with ancient
plants. As the name would suggest, the leaves tend to
be a bluish gray, but they can vary in that color from a
blue/green color to a powdery white and everything
in-between. The leaflets and petioles are mildly armed
and can be almost completely unarmed in some cases.

Native to Mozambique, this small to medium sized cycad grows in scrub
forest among rocks and boulders. It is distinguished by its blue to
blue-green color and by having leaflets that are prominently spiny. In
my experience, leaf color is sometimes very blue, other times
blue-green. You'll sometimes hear the description as "soapy green" to
describe the leaves. Overall, the leaf color is variable and I've shown
several photos here to demonstrate this. I've seen specimens that are
as blue as an Encephalartos horridus.
Trunk size is usually under three feet. Upright leaves are about four
feet long or less. Leaves are keeled and leaflets are lanceolate and
spiny. This species likes full sun and is cold tolerant into the low
20's F. The one gallon on sale are a good, strong one gallon plant.
They came from parents domestically that both had extreme blue color.

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.

well
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
summarizing Palms for Southern
California elsewhere
at this website
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

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.
