LARGE SPECIMEN SIZED PLANTS AVAILABLE
SPECIMENS WITH FIFTEEN TO TWENTY-FIVE FEET OF TRUNK
This pinnate New World species is another favorite of many enthusiasts.It is native to Florida, Cuba and some surrounding areas.It is now well known that this palm can be grown in many areas of
Southern California.If you
can grow a King Palm, there's a good chance you can grow a Royal Palm.There are multiple species of Roystonea. The most common and
sought after species is the Cuban Royal, Roystonea
regia. Royal
Palms love heat and sun. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F.
They are fast growers.
I have an associate who’s company is offering very large Royal Palms
with trunk heights of 15 to 25 feet.These are field grown in desert type areas of Southern
California.These growers
have become experts on digging and establishing their plants.They are sold in an assortment of trunk sizes and are all single
trunk specimens.They are
sold either bagged with a large root ball or in large boxes.They have been successfully dug and planted in many enthusiasts
yards or on commercial sites.
If you are interested in learning more about availability and prices,
email me directly at my email address on this webpage.
The two garden photos are of Royal Palms thriving in the San Diego
County area.
BLECHNUM GIBBUM
THE SILVER LADY FERN
THE MINIATURE TREE FERN
YES, IT IS A MINIATURE AND STAYS SMALL!
I am really fond of this cute and dwarf type of
Tree Fern native to an assortment of Pacific Islands stretching from
Hawaii to the Asian Pacific. The reason I like it is because it
stays small over time. To make this point, I am going to first
shown you a 15g plant that we got from a private collection.
You'll see this plant in the first two rows of photos. The third
row shows a standard 5 gallon nursery plant. You'll note that, in
twenty years, three inches of trunk turns into two feet of trunk.
Now, that's either from super slow growth or genetics. I think
it's the latter. The tallest specimen I've seen in a garden is
about five feet tall overall. Trunk diameter is four inches or
less. It likes filtered light and can take cold weather into the
mid-twenties F or maybe a bit less. We have 1 gallon size and
often 5 gallon for sale. These are easy to mail order.
WODYETIA BIFURCATA
THE FOXTAIL PALM
THIN TRUNK, FLUFFY GREEN LEAVES
MEDIUM SIZED TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON SIZE
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.

WALLICHIA DISTICHA SINGLE TRUNK, LEAVES IN ONE PLANE
A VERY INTERESTING AND PECULIAR PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This is an unusual palm that has all of its leaves in a single plane.
That is to say from the front, it is a fairly large, "Caryota-appearing"
palm tree. But, looking from the side, it is narrow and you can
hardly see it. The dictionary definition of "distichous"
is: "Arranged in two vertical rows on opposite sides of an axis:
distichous leaves. " In this case, the trunk of the palm is the
axis.
This species is native to the Himalaya Mountains in Asia, spreading from
northern India across to northern Thailand. There it grows at
altitudes of up to 4000 feet. Because of it's heritage and as you
might guess, it does have some cold hardiness and can easily be grown in
many areas of Southern California. It tolerates temperatures down
to about the mid to upper twenties F. It prefers full sun.
Mature height is about 30 feet. Usually this species is single
trunk, but in the wild suckering specimens are found. This is not
to confuse it with another suckering species, Wallichia densiflora, which
is always a clustering species.
Wallichia could be confused with Arenga and Caryota, both
of which are also from the same part of the world. All have
leaflets that have jagged or toothed apical ends as shown here.
All also go through a flowering process that begins at the upper trunk
and works its way down the trunk over time. And, all have stems
that die after suckering. When there is only one stem (as with
this species), the tree will die after it flowers. Seeds of Wallichia
disticha are very small as shown here. The back sides
of Wallichia and Arenga leaflets are silver whereas Caryotas are green
on the back side. This helps in identifying the genus.
Trunks of Wallichia disticha are also covered with dense brown
fibers as shown here.
We have very limited numbers of this rare
species for sale. For someone who likes different species, this
one is for you. But, we only have a few of the 15
gallon available - first six photos below.

WALLICHIA DENSIFLORA AKA
WALLICHIA OBLONGIFOLIA
RARE AND DIFFERENT DWARF SUCKERING SHADE PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This is an extremely rare suckering shade palm from the Himalayas and
China where it survives at high elevations almost to a mile high. It's
an understory palm and prefers shade or bright filtered light. Leaves
are about six feet long, and leaflets have green dorsal sides and
silver-white undersides. It is quite striking in appearance. It has
pretty cold cold tolerance - tolerating a freeze with few problems. It
can also be grown as an interior houseplant. The ends of the leaflets
are premorse - jagged like a Fishtail Palm. We're offering older 15g
plants on special. These are old and large for their pots.
REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON $250

DICTYOSPERMA ALBUM VAR RUBRUM
PRINCESS PALM, HURRICANE PALM
MEDIUM HEIGHT - CROWN SHAFT TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Native to the Mascarene Islands, this thin trunked, crown shafted palm
gets to a height of about 25 feet. This variety is called "rubrum"
because of the red color that is present on the stems and new spear,
especially on juvenile plants.
You'll see this on the photos below. But, often disappears over time.
This is a coastal sun or part day sun species with a cold tolerance in
the upper twenties F. I've had one in my garden for years in San
Diego. It is a rare palm species that many have grown.I particularly like standing below on by the trunk and looking
up.Check out the 7th

ROYSTONEA REGIA
THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
TALL, SUN LOVING SINGLE TRUNK SPECIES
ELEGANT WITH LONG CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This super popular palm is native to south Florida and Cuba. It
gets a very tall trunk with a height of forty feet or more. The
crown shaft is long and a prominent green. The base of the trunk
is swollen just above the ground. Often, you'll also see bulging
in the mid-trunk. It is a full sun palm 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 fifteen gallon on sale are
about six to seven years old and about eight feet tall in their
pot. There's a shortage of this species on the market and they are
difficult to find.These
are too big for mail order but we can deliver them.If you need mail order, consider our smaller 5 gallon size.

CHAMBEYRONIA MACROCARPA
THE FLAME THROWER PALM
NEW RED EMERGING LEAF
DARK GREEN CROWN SHAFT TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
What good fortune is it that New Caledonia
can claim to be the home of all Chambeyronia. Included is this
species, C. macrocarpa. It is a slow growing, pinnate, crown
shafted palm that gets to a height of about 30 feet. It has a dark
green to green-black crown shaft. Compare this to C. hookeri above
with it's yellow crown shaft. Leaves are wide, thick and leathery
to the touch. With good culture, maybe you can get three new
leaves a year. About one in twenty plants fail to throw a new red
leaf - rather, it remains green. This is just bad luck and there's
no way to predict which will do this. Shown here are 5 gallon
plants we're putting on sale. We do have larger and smaller sizes
available. Coastal sun is tolerated although strong filtered light
is ok for most areas. This is a great garden palm.

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

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA THE PURPLE CROWN SHAFT KING PALM
VERY BEAUTIFUL - GOOD GROWER TEN DAY SPECIAL 1 GALLON SIZE
The native home of Archontophoenix purpurea is the Mt. Lewis
mountain range in Queensland, Australia. This species is known for
the purple color to the crown shaft. It is found at an elevation
up to 4000 feet. Mature height is quoted to be over fifty feet,
but in habitat and culture I didn't see one this tall. Cold
hardiness is about 25 degrees F. It takes full coastal sun.
The degree of purple in the crown shaft is variable but never "lollipop"
purple. The underside of the leaves is silver and there is ramenta
hairs only on this side. On younger plants the leaf bases and leaf
stem tend to have a yellow color.
I'm showing our 1g size (first 5 photos below) which we're putting on a
Ten Day Special. These are very large plants for their pots and
either single or multiple (more than one per pot).Also available are large 5 and 15g sizes.

CARPENTERIA ACUMINATA
TALL, VERY THIN TRUNK
NATIVE TO NORTHERN AUSTRALIA
TEN DAY SPECIAL 1 GALLON SIZE
This is a tall, slender, single trunk pinnate palm from the Northern
Territory in Australia. It can get to 40 feet tall and has
attractive small red fruits. Leaves are gently arching and leaf color
is green. It is crown shafted and trunk diameters are well under a
foot. For Southern CA growers, it can be grown but is not the
easiest palm to try. I think it's because, at best, this palm is
hardy down to a freeze. We do have people who seek it out so we
carry a small number of plants. I’d start it in part day sun and then
let it grow into the sun.

from Puerto Rico and surrounding Caribbean areas. It is a small
cycad with a caudex of six inches. It suckers, forming clumps.

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

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.

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.

it's spiraling display of long, heavy substance leaves that are upright
and four to six feet long. Their color is green and dark purple.
Flowers are white with purple centers and markings. It grows like
other Lilies by making offset tubers that make new plants. We just
got in four nice 15g plants with reasonable size. These plants are
harder to find than one would think. When we get them we usually
sell out within a week or so. Photos of sale plants are shown in
the first 6 pictures below.
Expect a mature height of six to seven feet, definitely head height.
As mentioned, they clump and form a great display of foliage. They
will not "run" or take over an area. They tolerate full or part
day coastal sun and can take a freeze. Temperatures in the 20 to
25 degree range will damage the foliage but plants usually reappear in
the spring. We only have five or six of these. This is the

PRETTY COLD HARDY
This single trunk fan palm is native to
regions stretching from Mexico through Central America. In the genus,
there are multiple species. All have prominent white powder on the
underside of the leaflets as shown here. Trunks are narrow. Often
you'll see what look like "spines" on the trunk. But, these are a
different structure - they are modified root spines. They are quite
interesting looking. Right on the coast, this species can take full or
part day sun. Most would grow it in bright filtered light. Expect
heights ranging from ten feet to well over twenty feet. Cold hardiness
is into the upper twenties F. Shown here are photos of the 15g size at
the nursery. Notice the white backs to the leaflets. Also shown are
photographs of aCryosophilaunknown

height of over 30 feet, a thick trunk that is about 12 to sixteen inches
thick with prominent rings, plumose upright leaves and a colored crown
shaft. The crown shaft has white silver, orange and black colors.Cold tolerance appears to be into the mid-twenties but is not yet
worked out. Mature trees tolerate full sun along the coast.

DYPSIS SPECIES ORANGE CRUSH A BEAUTIFUL DYPSIS WITH NO SPECIES NAME
MANY TIMES SPORTS AN ORANGE CROWN SHAFT MEDIUM MATURE HEIGHT - EXOTIC AND
SOUGHT AFTER TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
This is another exotic species that is near
impossible to find. It is native to Madagascar, gets to a mature
height of about 20 feet, has an 8 inch thick trunk and, most appealing,
is the smooth orange colored crown shaft. (see last photo). We
have available some 2 gallon plants.It is recommended that you grow this one for a year or two before
planting.At one point,
orange crush
was felt to be Dypsis
pululifera.
But, that was proven incorrect by taxonomists. It presently has
not species name. I'd start it in strong filtered light or slowly
acclimate it to some sun. Cold tolerance is probably not much
below a freeze. We have several of the 2g size available.
Like other super rare species, it is affordable but not inexpensive.
Those available were winter repots.The last photo was taken by BGL.

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

MEDIUM SIZED CYCAD MATURE - FULL SUN ON COAST TEN DAY SPECIAL TWO SPECIMEN CYCADS
Encephalartos longifolius is from the Eastern Cape
region of the Republic of South Africa. It is among the favorite
species of all cycad enthusiasts. Leaf color varies from a dark
green to brilliant blue - and everything in-between. The two
plants shown here both have caudexes about 8 inches and are in 15g
containers. This is a full sun species along the coast with a cold
hardiness of 22 degrees F. These plants will develop into medium
sized mature cycads over the years with potential for trunk in a
lifetime of at least five feet. We are putting these two specimens
on a Ten Day Special. They can be mail ordered but it'd be
expensive to ship them. The last row of photos shows plants that
are more mature - two from a local garden and one older Nursery plant
which is as double.

THE TRAVELER PALM
RAVENALA MADAGASCARENSIS
BANANA-LIKE TREE IN ONE PLANE
IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LATELY
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE Most people are fascinated by this
large, banana-like plant that has wide, long and soft leaves that tower
overhead. It is native to Madagascar. The fact the leaves of
the Traveler Palm are all aligned in one plane fascinates viewers. But I
must first mention that this species is not a palm at all! Rather,
it is part of the Bird of Paradise family. It got its common name
of "Traveler Palm" (aka Traveller Palm) because the leaf bases would
catch and hold water for thirsty travelers. Compared to the Giant
Bird of Paradise, it's so much nicer. It's less maintenance, is
not invasive and prettier. But, the downside is that Ravenala
madagascarensis doesn't survive a freeze. Literally, a freeze
will kill it overnight. This is the first time I’ve had any
Traveler Palms available for two years. I’ve had hundreds of calls
by people looking for them and there just aren’t any of any size
available. Yesterday I got a limited number of three to four leaf
young plants in band size. If they don’t sell out, all will be put
in 2 gallon pots in the next few days.

This is another hybrid Philodenron
that shows color in the new leaves. Many times it is a deep red. As
leaves age, they turn green. Plants must get older to truly display
colors. But, you can see from these photos it's a deep red-orange.
Leaves are wider and more red than the Prince of Orange Philodendron.
It wants filtered light or, inside, indirect light. Don't overwater it

ROYSTONEA BORINQUENA
PERHAPS A MORE COLD HARDY ROYAL PALM
PHOTOGRAPHS OF MATURE PALMS
During the winter of
2007 when we had a severe cold spell, I came to find that this species
or Royal Palm seemed to posses more cold hardiness thanRoystonea
regiaand others that
are more commonly seen. Our area got down to about 25 degrees F. An
enthusiast about a mile from the nursery said hisR.
regiaswere
totally burned but theRoystonea
borninquenawent
untouched. Because of this I pursued seeds and grew more. We've sold a
lot of this beautiful palm since then. It is native to Puerto Rico,
Hispaniola and a few other islands. You'll note the absence of the
super swollen base often seen with other species. It likes full sun,
enjoys ample water and can get to heights over forty feet. More
recently, availability has been less plentiful but we plan to carry them
as much as we can. Shown here are mature specimens of this species. In
recent times we've had no seeds available, so we don't have this
great palm in stock right now but hope to in the not too distant future.
POTTING UP A NEW PALM SEEDLING PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING TECHNIQUE - VEITCHIA SEEDLINGS
If you follow the techniques given in the
article above, you will end up having seedlings that will need repotting
into a growing container. Shown here are some vigorous Veitchia
seedlings that were germinated in a flat. Flats are not our favorite
for germinating (are not deep containers) but, for conservation of
space, was what we used for these seeds. You can see in the first two
photos that these are well developed with about two or three leaves. We
prefer to have several leaves before we repot seedlings.
Photographs three to five show the seedlings
after they've been removed from the germinating flat. Note the compact
and nice roots on the seedlings. You must be careful when removing each
seedling to protect the roots. Cutting or damaging the roots can lead
to damping off after removal.
The last photo shows the seedling after
being repotted into a one gallon. Sometimes we put seedlings into our
band containers ( 3 x 3 x 9 inches), but Veitchias typically
are large, strong seedlings and respond better in a larger pot. Of
course, after potting up seedlings, water immediately and put them into
filtered light. Over time, you can give them more sun exposure.
I hope this helps you have successful growing of your small new palms.
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

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

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

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.

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

BURRETIOKENTIA HAPALA
A GREAT NEW CALEDONIAN PALM FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
SUPER ATTRACTIVE CROWN SHAFTED PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL FIVE GALLON SIZE
Among palm enthusiasts, almost any species from New Caledonia is sought
after. This species falls into that group. It is a crown
shafted palm with a rather thin trunk of about eight inches that gets to
a height of approximately 25 to 30 feet. It has an intriguing
brown color to the stems and crown shaft area. It does not have
the stripes you'd see with the Burretiokentia vieilllardii.
Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F, or perhaps a bit less. So,
it's comparable to a King Palm. If you can grow a King, you can
grow this species. One of the keys to culture is not letting the
ground it's in go dry. This species, like Chambeyronia, responds
to water. Shown below is the five gallon size that I'm putting on
special. I'd recommend morning sun, a few hours of mid-day sun, or
bright filtered light. It's a great species to grow.

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.

Encephalartos arenarius is
from the coastal dunes and forest close to Alexandria in the Eastern
Cape. This species is small to medium in mature size. Leaf
length can range from one to two meters (i.e. three to six feet
approximately) depending on cultivar and exposure to sun. Like
many of the Encephalartos from the Eastern Cape, this species is

color from a dull green to a powdery white color (bearing a likeness to E.
horridus).
The plants we are putting on special are the blue type. To get this
color they will want full sun or an ample amount of sun. It prefers a
well draining soil. Speed of growth of this cycad is good. You
could expect to have a nice garden sized plant from these 5 gallon

SPECIES
Ceratozamia latifolia
is a smaller, filtered light loving cycad from Mexico. It is
native to the regions of San Luis Potosi and Hidalgo. Leaf length
averages four, perhaps five feet maximum. Leaves lay in a more
horizontal position. Caudex size is less than ten inches.
So, you can see that overall leaf crown width is under six feet or so.
The striking trait of this species is the very colorful newly emergent
leaves as shown here. But, you can’t always predict what color
each plant will produce.The leaflets are wide and un-armed.
We recommend filtered light for this species. Cold hardiness is
certainly the lower 20's F. or lower.
The photos here show three different plants with
three different colors of emerging new leaves – orange, red and gold.Of course, sometimes they may be green.These colors always fade over two to
three weeks to their green color.But, any given plant will typically throw

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

CYPHOPHOENIX ELEGANS
THE ELEGANT PALM
MEDIUM SIZE – THIN TRUNK – CROWN SHAFTED
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN LARGE SIZE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 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 is an oversized 15 gallon plant. Also shown are photos
of mature plants. It's easy to appreciate how beautiful and not
overly large it is. 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.

into the mid 20's F. and I'd recommend, at most, a few hours of sun or
filtered light. It is native to the southern areas of Mexico and
possibly into areas of Central America. With less than adequate
water it tends to look scrappy. At the nursery, we offer mostly
large plants, either 10 or 15 gallon size. They typically are
suckering with a near mature height.

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

BUTIA
PARAGUAYENSIS
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BUTIA
REPORTEDLY A “DWARF” BUT NOT IN GARDENS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G 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 5g of this

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.

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.

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

FAIRLY COLD HARDY - MAKES A GARDEN

SPECIAL LARGE 7 GALLON PLANTS
This rare and difficult to find hybrid Philodendron hasn't been available for several decades.
It was replaced by the less expensive Philodendron Selloum
variety. But, the P. evansii
is huge compared to the selloum.
The P. evansii
is a hybrid of uncertain parentage. There are few in domestic
gardens but, interestingly enough, may have been developed by a
horticulturist in the 1950's who worked at Disneyland in Orange County,
CA. Some say the parentage is
Philodendron speciosum x Philodendron bipinnatifidum.
This hybrid produces huge leaves that are
ruffled, heart shaped (elephant ear type of leaves) and can get five
feet long and three feet wide. They can deal with strong filtered
light and in mild locations with almost full sun. Cold hardiness
is down to about 30 degrees. Plant height is typically six to
twelve feet. We only have a couple of these plants. If you
really want one of these, act quickly because they'll be gone in no

DOES BEST IN LESS THAN FULL SUN
GETS TO SIX FEET TALL
This species of palm has been sold under the name "Cat Palm", which is
an abreviation for "cataractarum". ForChamaedoreasand
in the past, it was fairly easy to find. Nowadays it's very difficult
to find, especially with mature size as shown here. It is a clustering
palm that gets six feet tall. It really doesn't form any trunk. It
likes water as it has a native habitat near river beds. It is cold
hardy into the mid 20's F. and I'd recommend, at most, a few hours of
sun or filtered light. It is native to the southern areas of Mexico and
possibly into areas of Central America. With less than adequate water
it tends to look scrappy. At the nursery, we offer mostly large plants,
either 10 or 15 gallon size. They typically are suckering with a near

A GOOD LUCKING BLUE VARIETY – SUCKERING FAN
PALM TEN DAY
SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This rare
and hard to find species of South American fan palm was previously known
as Trithrinax biflabellata. But, the latter was later found to
be spineless and the two were given separate species status. It is
native to Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. T. schizophylla is
definitely a spiny palm with long needle-like spines on the trunk.
It is usually a blue-green but the nursery plant shown below would
qualify as a definite blue one. It is usually a suckering palm but
sometimes is single trunk. Mature height is six to fifteen feet.
Although the leaf is a rigid leaf, the leaflet tips are softer than the
pungent T. campestris. It is a very cold hardy species that
tolerates temperatures down to at least 18 degrees F. and wants full
sun. On sale are very old, outdoor grown 15g plants. This
particular one is quite blue as shown. The 7th photo shows a
typical blue-green plant. I think we've been growing these for

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

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

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

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

Brahea edulis is a slow growing, shorter fan palm that is native to
an island, Guadalupe Island, just off the coast of Mexico south of San
Diego, CA. It is known as the Guadalupe Fan Palm. It is
found natively nowhere else. The trunk is medium sized and mature
trees obtain a maximum height of under fifteen feet. The garden
plants shown here are located near Mission Bay Park in San Diego.
I'd estimate they are about forty years old. This species likes
full sun, can tolerate desert conditions and is cold hardy to the mid to
upper teens F. They are also reasonably drought tolerant.
Like other Brahea, large specimens are very difficult to
successfully transplant.

Sabal brazoriensis
is a naturally occurring dwarf hybrid fan palm that was discovered in
Brazoria County, Texas. It is a cross between Sabal minor
(a small dwarf species) and Sabal
palmetto. Identifying this hybrid
puzzled taxonomists until genetic studies found that (in the long ago
past) these two species hybridized. It's location presently is known
only to occur in Brazoria County. Leaves are green and very large for
its height. Mature heights range from ten to twenty feet. It is
extremely slow growing - so it'll be short for quite a while. Leaves
are very costopalmate - as opposed to other species. Trunks are thick.

ZAMIA FISCHERI
AKAZAMIA VASQUEZII
DWARF GREEN MEXICAN CYCAD
CONES AT A SMALL SIZE - NEVER OVER 3 TO FOUR FEET TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL CIT POT SIZE
This is small Mexican cycad with stems typically
under one foot tall in size and leaves green in color
and up to three feet long, sometimes shorter. It
usually holds about five or so leaves, sometimes more.
It is a variable species and leaflets can be lanceolate
or wedge shaped. Leaflets are quite thin in
texture and have soft spines on the margins.
Overall, this species has a "fern-like" appearance and
would not be considered spiny. The names "vasquezii"
replaced the more commonly known name of "fischeri"
in the past fifteen years or so.
The two plants shown here in the first two rows below
are eight to ten years old. One is a female in
cone (illustrated). I am also showing (last row)

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.

YELLOW BLOSSOMS IN FALL TAKES SUN - LIKES WATER TEN DAY
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.

BROMELIADS IN THE LANDSCAPE VERSATILE, EASY TO GROW COMPANION PLANTS
VAST ASSORTMENT TO SELECT FROM
Bromeliads are a type of plant, typically
small in size, that are simple to grow and make great companion plants
in the garden. They are very versatile and, because most species
grow epiphytically, can be used on poles, posts, fences, mounted to
trees or simply grown in the ground among other plants. Almost all
species blossom once a year and the blossoms are long lived.
Blossoms appear in almost every color imaginable, anything from the
rainbow. Plants propagate by basal suckers and only really need
care once a year when old plants are removed from the cluster.
Photographs here show plants that are
attached to posts, mounted in trees and are used in water features.
There are some species that can get up to five or six feet tall
and are quite spectacular. If one wishes, he can just put the
bromeliad, with it's container, right into the ground. Some species
tolerate full sun and many love filtered light and blossom well in such
light.
Although we are not a "bromeliad only"
nursery, we typically have a great supply of the most desirable types
available for sale. We emphasize beauty and color in our
Bromeliads rather than rarity. We consider one of our specialties
our ability to offer a great selection of interesting and colorful
companion plants.
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

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

What good fortune is it that New Caledonia

TEN DAY SPECIAL SUCKERING 15G PLANTS
This attractive medium sized Dypsis comes from the Island of
Pemba off the coast of Madagascar. It is sometimes single trunk,
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
lanceolata has more of a silver color in this same area.

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

Over the years and having grown between fifty and one hundred different
species of Dypsis, I
can say that Dypsis baronii is
one of the best species of Dypsis for
Southern California. It is a reliably performing plant and quite
beautiful. Palm enthusiasts get real excited about the variety of
color seen in the stem, crown shaft and new petioles. The color in
these plant parts varies from red to yellow to powder white.
Eventually, most plants give a silver green trunk with a light colored
crown shaft as shown here. Trunks are several inches thick, leaves
are about five to six feet long and overall heights peak out under
twenty feet. The best sun
exposure is a small amount of morning sun or strong filtered light.I’d not consider it a full sun species.Cold tolerance is into the mid and perhaps low 20's F.

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

Shown below is a forty year old specimen of the desirable blue South
African cycad, Encephalartos

This species is a small to

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.

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

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

CHAMAEDOREA GLAUCIFOLIA MEDIUM HEIGHT, FLUFFY GREEN LEAVES
TAKES FULL SUN ALONG THE COAST TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15G PLANTS
This desirable palms can be used as an understory
palm or full sun palm along the coast. It is a medium height,
single trunk Chamaedorea that's been grown by enthusiasts for
decades. It is very similar to Chamaedorea plumosa but
has more of a glaucous powder on the crown shaft and leaf bases.
Chamaedorea glaucifolia is native to Mexico and is very fast
growing. It gets its Latin name from that white colored powder.
Its leaves are multi-ranked and plumose. The leaflets are very thin.
Trunk size is about one to one and a half inches thick. I've found
this species peaks out at about fifteen feet height. It is
prolific in seed formation and loves to hybridize with other nearby Chamaedorea species.
Like other thin trunked palms, we many times grow three or five plants
close together. It looks much better as a small colony. It's
cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties. I'd recommend trying this
species because it is so different from most shade-loving palms. We’re

CHRISTMAS DAY - PALM & TROPICAL PLANT
EXCURSION
AROUND SAN DIEGO, CA
UNUSUAL SPECIES - TREES IN FLOWER
LOTS OF DIFFERENT PALMS
With Covid restrictions in place, my wife and
I were sort of bored on a past Christmas day. No family visitors - All
by ourselves. So, off we went to do one of our favorite things. That
is - driving around looking for unusual plant species. We do this from
time to time. Our local Royal poinciana has been forming mature seed
pods, so that was a great starting point. From there we went to Balboa
Park to photograph some nice palms. Then, area by area we worked our
way to Mission Bay Park near San Diego Bay. I'm sharing some photos of
great species that may interest you. I particular focused on Brahea edulis
(which does super well here) and a stand of Livistona decipiens (decora) in fruit. Included are some nice succulent
trees and some flowering trees still with blossoms in December. Also
shown below are a few nice palm species. All in alphabetical order.

TEN DAY SPECIAL SINGLES - NICE 24 INCH BOX PLANTS
This popular single trunk palm species is native to Lord Howe Island.
Enthusiast have found that this is a superb species for our locality,
either in full sun along the coast or filtered light far inland.
It has a cold tolerance of about 24 to 25 degrees F. It is a slow
growing species. Below I'm showing you some nice 24 inch box
singles. They are about twelve years old or more. These have
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
plants. Note that many of the 24 inch boxes plants are bigger than
shown here. If you prefer, we also have similar plants in 25

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
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $425
These 20g plants are about 10 years old - super slow growing. They

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

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

savoryana is possibly the
best and and has been grown by many.It can potentially get to a height of 30 feet or more and prefers
a sunny location. Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze. This

This species of palm is native to Madagascar.There are both single trunk and suckering varieties.Shown here is what should be the single trunk form.It has a thicker trunk that the suckering form.It can reach heights of over thirty feet. It has leaves
arranged in three ranks - "tristichous". Trunk diameter is
about 8 inches and the crown shaft is a rusty-silver color and not
elongated. It is a difficult species to find nowadays. I'd
recommend growing it in full sun along the coast. I'd estimate
cold hardiness to be in the mid to upper twenties F. We have nice

ANTHURIUM PSEUODOSPECTABILE RARE AND EXOTIC TROPICAL COMPANION PLANT
LEAVE FIVE TO SIX FEET - HANG DOWNWARDS TEN DAY
SPECIAL SINGLE PLANT
Several years ago I visited Sherman Botanical
Gardens in Orange County, CA. They had a gorgeous outdoor grown Anthurium pseuodospectabile.
I was so impressed that I told myself the nursery must offer this plant
- and we eventually found one. This species is only from Panama. There
it grows in trees at elevations up to 5000 ft. It has long dependent
leathery green leaves that hang downwards and easily to lengths of five
to six feet long. Cold hardiness is said to be about 50 degrees or a
bit lower. So, for many, it must be wintered inside or in a
greenhouse. This actual plant has seen our sub-40 degree F. weather for
two years at our nursery and is surviving. We only have this one

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

BISMARCKIA NOBILIS STUNNING BLUE FAN PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
LOTS OF PHOTOS OF THE SPECIES
Today I'm going to show you lots of pictures of
one of my favorite palms, the desirable Bismarckia nobilis. It
is native to Madagascar. It is a fan palm with a rather stout trunk of
sixteen to about twenty-four inches in diameter. Heights can reach over
forty feet although it's unclear how tall they will grow domestically in
the U.S. Leaves are blue in color as are the leaf stems. Leaves are
broad and essentially flat. With cold weather and on juvenile plants,
leaves can take on a purple color from winter's cold.
Bismarckia love full hot sun. It can
be grown in desert areas. Cold tolerance is down to the low 20's F.
The pictures shown today are of assorted trees of varying heights. I've
tried to show plant detail that you'll not find easily on the Internet.
Remember that this is a dioecious species with male and female trees.
One needs both a male and female palm with cross-pollination to set
viable seeds. The seeds shown here are maturing seeds on female plants.
I hope you like this species. It looks best (in
my opinion) planted as a single specimen. I have shown a few pictures
of plants at the nursery at the bottom.

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

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This exotic and single trunk pinnate palm is from the Queensland
area of Australia and nearby New Guinea. It is the only species of
this genus. In habitat, it prefers moist areas and can attain a
height of over fifty feet with a trunk that is four to six inches thick.
The crown shaft has black colored tomentum. Leaves are six to
eight feet long, pinnate is a slightly plumose fashion. Leaflets
are irregular, sometimes wedge shaped with jagged apices and the
underside of the leaflets is silver.One could confuse this species with another Queensland palm, Wodyetia
bifurcata. Normanbya has
wider leaflets, a thinner trunk and the underside of Wodyetia leaflets
is never silver. Normanbya can tolerate full sun right
along the coast but otherwise should be considered a part day sun or
strong filtered light plant. Cold tolerance is down to about
freezing.
Shown here is a 5g plant which we’re putting on

CAUDEXES 3.5 TO 6 INCHES TEN DAY
SPECIAL THESE 15 GALLON E.
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

MEDIUM SIZE MATURE - LIKES COASTAL SUN STUNNING BLUE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15 GALLON PLANT
Encephalartos arenarius is
from the coastal dunes and forest close to Alexandria in the Eastern
Cape. This species is small to medium in mature size. Leaf
length can range from one to two meters (i.e. three to six feet
approximately) depending on cultivar and exposure to sun. Like
many of the Encephalartos from the Eastern Cape, this species is
variable in color, size and leaf type. E. arenarius can range in
color from a dull green to a powdery white color (bearing a likeness to E.
horridus).
The plant we are putting on special is the blue variety.This plant is in sun, in a 15g pot and has a caudex of 5 inches.It’s a very stunning blue.To get this color they will want full sun or an ample amount of
sun. It prefers a well draining soil. Speed of growth of this
cycad is good. I’m also showing a garden plant and several
larger nursery plants.

ENCEPHALARTOS LAURENTIANUS
KWANGO GIANT CYCAD
CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD
LONGEST LEAVES OF ANY CYCAD TEN
DAY SPECIAL 1.5 GALLON PLANTS Several decades ago, one
could only dream of every obtaining an Encephalartos
laurentianus.
This was because its locality was so remote in Uganda that few ever
traveled to the habitat. Couple this with the political
instabilities and risks of the region, and you'd understand how seeds
were seldom available. Fortunately, through a few botanical
gardens, seeds eventually did get distributed. Even with this,
this species is unbelievably rare to locate.It is known for having the longest leaves
of any cycad. They tend to go upwards and can be over 20 feet
long. An identifying hallmark of this species in nurseries are the
abundance of spines at the ends of the long leaflets. You can see
this on the close up leaflet pictures. Leaflets can get up to
about 20 inches long, are fairly wide and somewhat cupped. Trunks
will slowly form. With the long length of the leaves, plants can
tower overhead.
Being Central
African, this species doesn't have the cold hardiness of South African
cycads. But, many are growing it in this area. I'd recommend
sun or part day sun. Cold hardiness is down to a bit below a
freeze. Shown here is some nice starter one or one and a half
gallon plants.Caudexes are about 1.5 to 2 inches.Remember, seeds are unbelievably
expensive. They can be shipped easily - depending on your weather.

BOTTOM OF LEAF - MAROON TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE GALLON PLANTS
The plants I'm showing here are a non-fruiting type of ornamental
Banana. Like most Bananas, it does sucker and the mature height is
six to eight feet. It has light green leaves with attractive purple
splotches and maroon underside. See photos below. It'd want
full sun outdoors (along the coast) and should be cold tolerant well
into the mid-twenties F. Some are also growing it as an indoor
plant. We're putting our one gallon on sale. See first six
photos below. Also shown below is our 15g size of a similar Banana
- Musa sumatana hybrid that looks quite similar to the one on

ENSETE MAURELII
RED BANANA
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE WITH RED LEAVES TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
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.
The garden photo is by Linda Cochran. I’m also showing some 15

CARYOTA URENS COLD HARDY GIANT
FISHTAIL
A GREAT CANOPY FORMING PALM TREE HEIGHTS ABOVE FIFTY
FEET MATURE! THINNER TRUNK THANCARYOTA
GIGAS
Although this is not the tallest of all Fishtail
Palms, be aware that it is much taller than C. gigas. But,
the trunk is more thin. As an estimate of trunk diameter, think
"telephone pole" size, white in color, and easily heights over fifty
feet. This is one of the quickest growing palms known. A
plant like shown here will be thirty feet tall in a few years.
Leaves are not as long or wide as Caryota
gigas. Their leaf color also
is not as dark a green. Brown tipping of leaflets can occur,
especially if not given enough water. Another important point:
AllCaryotasare
"monocarpic". This means that, after a period of fifteen to twenty
years age, the plant will blossom. It flowers, hopefully produces
seeds, and slowly dies over three to four years.
Cold tolerance is lower than Caryota gigas,down
into the upper teens F. Because of their height, these palms
always end up in full sun. So, acclimate your plant to sun and
give it plenty of water, especially after first planting. Shown
here is A 25 gallon size but, at the time of this posting, we are out of
this species. This size would form canopy in a matter of a few
years.
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

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.
CHAMAEDOREA TRUNKING RADICALIS
QUICK GROWING, SINGLE STEM
FAIRLY COLD HARDY - TOLERATE SUN
PHOTOS OF A NEAR MATURE GROUP
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS 35 GALLON SPECIMEN
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 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.

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA SUCKERING AND SINGLE
TRUNK MOUNTAIN FORM
BEST GROWING SPECIES OF THE GENUS SORT OF LIKE A SUCKERING KENTIA PALM
TEN TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 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 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. 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 four to five inches thick and reaches a height of 12
feet. It sort of looks like a suckering 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.

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.

types of Chamaedorea, only being beat out by C. radicalis.
Leaf color is green and sometimes there are hints of blue, a blue
iridescence or even blue leaflet backs on this species. Fruits are
numerous and red in color. Trunks are very thin. I'd
recommend filtered light for this species although some have grown in in

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

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.
Almost every week we put cycad
seedlings on special. Just check further down in this Blog.

CHAMAEDOREA MICROSPADIX
A SEMI-DWARF TYPE OF BAMBOO PALM
GET UP TO ABOUT 8 FEET - SUCKERING SPECIES
COLD HARDY INTO THE UPPER TEENS F.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This type of Bamboo Palm is known for several things. First, it is
one of the shorter true suckering and pinnate types of Chamaedorea. It
gets to a mature height of about 8 feet. It is a great patio plant
or can be grown inside quite easily. It is also one of the more
cold hardy types of Chamaedorea, only being beat out by C.
radicalis. It'll go down to about 20 degrees F. or a bit
lower. Leaf color is green and sometimes there are hints of blue,
a blue iridescence or even blue leaflet backs on this species.
Fruits are numerous and red in color. Trunks are very thin.
I'd recommend filtered light for this species although some have grown
in in coastal sun. Of note, it's one of the more cold hardy Bamboo
Palms around. The 15 gallon size are fruiting size and on
sale.

VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND LATELY
THE BEST "NEIGHBOR BLOCKER" PLANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL SQUAT 15G PLANTS
This is an attractive, suckering, thin trunked palm species is from
Madagascar or surrounding areas. The number one reason people buy
this species is "to hide something". By this, I mean they want to
hide a neighbor, an ugly next door structure, an unsightly fence, the
side of a garage, etc. This is an ideal species for this purpose
as it suckers and is fairly dense. You can't see through it well.
Mature height averages 14 feet in California. Cold hardiness is
into the mid-twenties F. Trunk diameter is about 3 inches.
It'll take full sun along the coast and far inland areas must give it
only morning or filtered sun. I am offering nice squat 15g plants
on special for ten days. They are about 6 feet tall in their pots.
We do have limited numbers available. Please note that this size plants
have not been available for two months.

ACANTHOPHOENIX RUBRA
THE RED PALM OR THE BARBEL PALM
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.
Until
recently, we haven't had these for over ten years.

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.

BURRETIOKENTIA

STRIPED CROWN SHAFT
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.
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

This species is native to Madagascar and is
usually found as a single trunk specimen, although it can sucker

about 25 feet if well grown and has a six inch thick trunk. There
is a stunning contrast of dark red new spear against the white stem as
shown in the photos. Leaves are six feet long and upright.
This species is an easy palm to grow. It will tolerate sun along
the coast but needs some inland protection. Exact cold hardiness
is still being determined, but many have reported it grows into the
twenties F. I would highly recommend this species as it isn't too
big and is very attractive. The nursery plant shown is a 5g size

about thirty feet with about a four inch thick trunk. Leaves tend
to arch down and leaf color is green. This species likes to start
in filtered light and work it's way into full sun along the coast.
It's cold hardy into the upper twenties F. Anticipate a plant life
of about thirty years. Also of note is the fact that the hearts of
this palm are edible and a delicacy in many areas.

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

HOWEA BELMOREANA THE SENTRY OR UMBRELLA PALM
ANOTHER PALM FROM LORD HOW ISLAND TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE 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.

1.5 inches wide, pungently tipped at the end, and spiny along the
margins. This is a fast growing species that can tolerate our
coastal part day or perhaps full day sun. Far inland locations
should use part day sun. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties,
perhaps a bit lower. We had no leaf damage at the nursery in 2007
with lows of 25 degrees F. Shown here are our one and a half

ENCEPHALARTOS MSINGANUS

TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
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
sale are 4 years old, bigger and older than shown here and with about
four to five leaves.

are very easy to grow either in the garden or inside the home. The
species we are showing today we call "Coyote Face" because of the shape
of the leaves. We got it from a botanical garden we trade with. I

GIANT SPLIT LEAF PHILODENDRON

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

WODYETIA BIFURCATA
THE FOXTAIL PALM
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
produce viable seeds.

Many of you may know of Euterpe edulis, a thin solitary palm with

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

HIBISCUS MIDNIGHT RED BLOSSOM
RARE VARIETY TEN DAY SPECIAL FLOWERING ONE GALLON
As a nursery, we're not a specialty Hibiscus grower. But, I've always loved these plants.
Even older species, around for quite a while, add color and charm to the
garden. And, newer varieties are amazing. The reason we backed off
from Hibiscus
is that they attract white fly problems. This was especially present a
decade ago but has become less of a problem nowadays. So, we are
growing some cool varieties presently. Most are from cuttings from
collections of desirable plants. The one on sale here has large red
(touch of pink) blossoms. They are fully rooted.

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 profile companion plant to cover the garden floor.
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
plants. We often put them on sale for reduced prices. When people see
how they perform they often come back for more.
The last two photos shown plants of this species at our nursery. From
time to time we do put this species on special. Also, we offer super
unusual and different types ofAlocasia, so if you
are a tropical plant freak, come and see us.

QUEEN PALM
DESIRABLE SYAGRUS HYBRID ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE BOXED PLANTS
This interesting hybrid originated in Thailand by a grower and
propagator of rare palms. It is a cross between the common Queen
Palm and an unusual type of palm from the same genus, Syagrus
schizophylla.
The offspring have proven to be quite beautiful and have good cold
tolerance. These will be a medium to large palm. The trunk
will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size will be less.
The attached photos of mature plants show how pretty it is.Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the Queen
Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm.
This is a very rare hybrid to come across.
We’re putting huge 24 inch boxes on sale.They are about 12 feet tall in their box.This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a
cold hardiness estimated to be in the low 20's F.

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.

SUPER RARE HYBRID PINNATE PALM NEW TO THE MARKET (BUTIA X JUBAEA) X SYAGRUS
FANTASTIC HYBRID – VERY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON SIZE The hybrid I'm presenting today is a recent
introduction to the market. Most people are familiar with the Mule Palm
- which is a hybrid of Butia with the Queen Palm with the Butia being
the seed bearing parent. The Mule Palm is cold hardy to about 17
degrees and can live in Tucson, AZ. Butia x Jubaea is even more
cold tolerant and takes temperatures down to about 15 to 16 degrees. We
routinely have both of these crosses available.
The hybrid offered below is between a Butia
x Jubaea (seed bearer) and the Queen Palm - using pollen from the
Queen Palm. It will look very different and should have a cold
tolerance of about 16 to 17 degrees. We offered these at the end of
last year and all sold out within about three days. We are lucky enough
to offer some more presently.
It'll want full sun. Before, I've only known
of small one gallons available of this hybrid and for sale for about
$150. Recently we’ve had some 5 gallon which sold out.But, we just got in some very nicely sized 25 gallon that I’m
putting on sale.
Important: We only have a couple left!

SINGLE TRUNK – NICE GREEN CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
Of the Shaving Brush Palm family, this is the hardest one to find.
And, many think it's the prettiest and most desirable species.
Some consider it to be a variety of R. baueri. We like to
consider it a species. Native to Raoul Island, an island well off
the eastern side of New Zealand, this species has a medium sized trunk
and reaches a height of twenty five feet. The crown shaft is
gorgeous but not as swollen as R. sapida. I have some
customers who report the crown shaft being a purple color. On
younger plants the leaf stems may shown colors of red to purple.
With age they are a brown-green.Leaves are green and arching.Trunks are prominently ringed.It will take coastal sun or part day sun.Some grow it in strong filtered light.Far inland it needs protection from full sun.Growth rate is slow to medium.We’re putting nice 15g plants on sale.See first seven photos.The last photo is c/o cloudforest website.

For several decades we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from
Madagascar. These are the blue form. This palm species loves
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

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.

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.

This small fan palm is native to almost all
areas of Florida. It is different than Sabal palmetto
in that it is smaller. Although not quite as small as the Sabal louisiana
below, it rarely gets to a height of about eight feet. Leaves are
green and the trunk is a bit stout. It tolerates full sun or part
day sun. It is difficult to find. In the fifth photo, it is
the band plant that the staff is holding in his left hand (right hand is

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 5th photo it is the band palm in the staff's right
hand. On the left is the Sabal

ENCEPHALARTOS ITURIENSIS
SUPER RARE CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD
LONG UPRIGHT GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL TALL 15 GALLON PLANT
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
caudex.
It is shown in the first seven photos below. We
are putting this actual plant on sale.Remember, it’s very difficult to find this species, especially
with size.We may have a few
smaller plants in stock.
REGULAR PRICE THIS ACTUAL PLANT $1600
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $1250
Presently I only have one nice 15 gallon specimen.The last photo shows a plant we sold about a decade ago that was

Leaves are green to soapy green in color, stand erect and are six to ten
feet long. Leaflets are 1.5 inches wide, pungently tipped at the
end, and spiny along the margins. This is a good growing species
that can tolerate our coastal sun. Far inland locations should use
part day sun. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties, perhaps a
bit lower. We had no leaf damage at the nursery in 2007 with lows
of 25 degrees F. Shown here are 2 gallon plants that we have on a

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.

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.

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.
