BUT, THIS MAY CHANGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
OUR EMPLOYEES BY CHOICE HAVE CONTINUED TO WEAR THEM AT THIS TIME.
This is a "just for fun" post of many close up photographs of the
leaflets of an assortment of unusual
Encephalartos
species from either South or Central Africa. I am showing you
these to demonstrate the diversity of the leaflets of this genus as a
whole. Some are blue. And, there's many colors of green.
Leaflet shapes are also quite varied. You'll see shorter leaflets
compared to long narrow ones. Some are spiny, others are more
smooth at their margins. The texture on some are smooth and shiny
whereas others are furry showing hairs. Some stack on each other,
others are widely spaced. Some are prominently veined. Many
pictures were taken twelve inches away while others show more leaflets,
taken at two feet. I'll not get into mentioning the species shown
here but rather show them as a whole so you see how different they are
from each other. All photos were taken on nursery plants recently.
CHAMAEDOREA TENELLA SUPER CUTE DWARF UNDERSTORY PALM
SIMPLE, UNDIVIDED LEAVES
A REAL COLLECTOR ITEM
This is an adorable small, single trunk,
understory palm from Southern Mexico that is typically about two feet
tall. In habitat, it has been known to attain a height of three to
four feet. Trunks are quite thin, usually about a quarter of an
inch thick. Leaves are complete (simple) with no divided leaflets.
It is closely related toChamaedorea
geonomiformis, just smaller. The lumping type taxonomists
must drool at the possibility of someday lumping the two together.
It is rarely seen on the market. Recently we got in about five of
these and they sold the same day. But, I still wanted to show them
to you. It wants filtered light and has a cold hardiness somewhere
in the mid-twenties F. Because of its rarity, little is offered
about culture in reference books. Anticipate in the future that,
from time to time, we'll have small plants available.
LIVISTONA LANUGINOSA
THE CAPE RIVER
LIVISTONA –
THE WOOLY LIVISTONA
TALL FAN PALM WITH THIN TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This Australian fan palm is a very interesting species and also known as
the "Wooly Livistona". It is apparently threatened in
habitat. In the northeastern part of Australia it lives at
an altitude of 200 meters. It reaches a height of over fifty
feet with a trunk that’s about a foot thick.Leaves are bluish or blue-green, stiff and waxy.Leaf stems have barbs and leaves extend out six to eight feet.
It is most similar to Livistonamarie but,
by report, has larger purple fruit.It is one of the most rare species of this genus.It enjoys full hot sun. Exact cold tolerance is unclear but
probably into the mid-twenties F.We have a limited number of 15g which we’re putting on special.
The habitat photo is by John Dowe of AU.

BRAHEA ARMATA THE MEXICAN BLUE FAN PALM
BLUE HESPER PALM
VERY BLUE COLORED LEAVES – SLOW GROWING
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE PLANTS
This species of blue fan palm is not only known for its intense blue
color but also for the fact that it is extremely cold hardy. It
goes down to about 16 degrees. It is native to Mexico,
specifically to Baja Mexico.It prefers dry heat and is a challenge to grow in humid areas.
Mature plants take 30 years or more to reach a height of 20 to 25 feet.The trunks are stout but clean.These 25g plants have nice color and are sun acclimated.
They are begging to be planted into someone's garden. This species
is also very drought tolerant.The plants we’re putting on special are intensely blue 15g
plants, large for their containers.The plants on special are shown in the first four photos.I’m also showing a 25 gallon and a larger boxed plant.

This is the hallmark of this species.
We have very limited numbers.
CHAMAEDOREA GLAUCIFOLIA
SUPER SIMILAR TO C. PLUMOSA
TAKES A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
From time to time I discuss this interesting single trunk
Chamaedorea. It is very similar to Chamaedorea plumosa -
except: The plumosa has a more plumose leaf and takes a
little more sun. But, the glaucifolia has the silver powder
on the leaf stems and crown shaft as shown here. This is quite
attractive and typically very prominent. Otherwise, you would
mistake the two. They are fast growing and get to a mature height
of about 14 feet. They look their best when planted in colonies of
three to five plants.It
takes almost full sun on the coast and is a durable species and seem
exempt from fungal problems that can plague C. plumosa.Cold hardiness is about 25 degrees F.

ARCHONTOPHOENIX BEATRICAE
RARE VARIETY OF THE KING PALM
SILVER UNDERSIDES TO LEAFLETS
GREEN CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
Archontophoenix Alexandrae
is native to Australia.It
has green leaves that have silver discoloration to the underside of the
leaflets as shown below.
Leaves tend to stay flat without the twist on their axis as seen with
the more common King Palm, Archotophoenix cunninghamiana.Although they are a tad less cold hardy than the latter,
they are felt by most to be more beautiful.Mature height can exceed 50 feet.The crown shaft with green without the brown discoloration seen
with the common King Palm.
Cold hardiness is about 26 degrees F.They can take coastal sun but half-day sun might give the
pretties specimen.The 15g

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

DYPSIS SPECIES BEF
SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
THIN TRUNK, ARCHING LEAVES, WHITE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 7 GALLON SIZE
For quite a few years, palm enthusiasts have been familiar with this
rare species from Madagascar. It has been called "Dypsis
species bef". But, to this day, it has no accepted botanical
name. It has a rather narrow ringed trunk with arching and keeled
green leaves. The crown shaft is white. It is medium sized
with a height of about 20 feet. The garden specimen is c/o Steve
S., PalmPedia. As a nursery plant it has soft green relaxed leaves
with hanging leaflets. But, when older, it is firmly keeled.
Five of the six photos below show the 7 gallon size on sale. This
is a very difficult palm to find and very sought after.We only have a couple.
REGULAR PRICE 7 GALLON $175
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $145
This species will take coastal sun. Cold tolerance is unknown at
this time.
RHOPALOSTYLIS CHEESEMANII
BEAUTIFUL GREEN CROWN SHAFTED PALM
TOLERATES A FAIR AMOUNT OF COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
Rhopalostylis cheesemanii is
from Roul Island in the Kermadecs.It reportedly has darker brown tomentum on the crown shaft and
petioles compared to R.
baueri and
the fruits are larger in size. But, the most remarkable thing is
that some enthusiasts have noticed is that it is a more aggressive
grower in Southern California. It is a green leafed, single trunk
pinnate palm with a crown shaft.Opposed to R.
baueri,
it has been known to do quite well in full sun right along the coast.
One of our staff, Rusty, swears by this species and thinks it's far
superior to other Rhopalostylis.
In his yard it has grown at a phenomenal rate. The pictures here
show the darker petioles compared to R. sapida.I have limited photos of larger garden plants. Be aware
that many people feel this should be considered a sub-variety of Rhopalostylis
baueri.
Growth rate of this species is medium at best.It is a stunning palm when mature.The 5 gallon size can be shipped.

PTYCHOSPERMA ELEGANS
THE SOLITAIRE PALM - NATIVE TO AUSTRALIA
ELEGANT SINGLE TRUNK SPECIES
CROWN SHAFT - THIN TRUNK - MEDIUM HEIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This single trunk palm species is native to the Northern Territory and
Queensland in Australia. It has a rather thin trunk that typically
is six to eight inches thick. Leaves are about six feet long.
The crown shaft is silver green in color and the leaves are green.
Mature height is about 25 feet on average. It tolerates
temperatures into the 20's F. I've been growing one in my garden
for about 40 years. It's still gorgeous. Some plant them as
small colonies, two or three together. We're putting our 5g size
on special. It's been a while since we've offered this species or
size. The plant shown below is a double but most we have are singles.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $135

DYPSIS
ONILAHENSIS SINGLE TRUNK OR SUCKERING PALM
VERY POPULAR, EASY TO GROW TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD 5 GALLON SIZE
This species is a suckering palm from Madagascar but can also be found
as a single trunk specimen. The crown shaft is often white or
silver. The plants we're offering here appear to be the suckering
form. As a species, it has either flat or droopy leaves/leaflets
and white to silver crown shafts. Overall height is about twenty
feet and trunk thickness is four to six inches. It likes coastal
part day sun, perhaps more, and is cold tolerant to the mid-twenties F.
The plants on sale are the 5g size with an age of about 5 years from
seed. They tolerate full sun along the coast and are cold hardy into the
twenties F.

CYPHOPHOENIX ELEGANS
THE ELEGANT PALM
MEDIUM SIZE – THIN TRUNK – CROWN SHAFTED
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
This species is from New Caledonia in the northern part of the island.
It is of similar height to C. nucele and has the same trunk
diameter. The crown shaft on C. elegans is slightly more
swollen than that of C. nucele. The crown shaft is also
more of a green color, but can show silver. The leaflets are
thinner and, as you can see, the leaves curve downward as opposed to the
stiff, upright leaves of nucele. Another important
difference between the two is that the leaves of C. elegans are
keeled whereas the leaves of nucele are more flat. Of note,
on both species the bare petiole (stem with no leaves) is very short.
This helps you identify this genus.
Shown here are our 2 gallon sized plants that I photographed recently.
Also shown are lots of photos of mature plants. This species
should be started in filtered light and be allowed to grow into some sun
if you live along the coast. Inland full sun is too harsh for this
species. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.
REGULAR PRICE 2 GALLON $80
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $70

ARCHONTOPHOENIX "TERACARPA"
THE BEST KING PALM EVER!
BIGGER, FASTER GROWING, NO BROWNING OF LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE BAND SIZE PLANTS
Archontophoenix teracarpa
is a fictitious name given to an unknown species/type of King Palm that
I have in my garden and no one can identify. I've been collecting
seeds from it for quite a few years and offering it for sale.
Everyone who gets one agrees - "It's the best King Palm ever!" It
got the name from the Latin "Large body", which it has. After
trying to identify the species over many years and with no success, we
coined the name "Archontophoenix teracarpa". The closest
species to it would be A. maxima but it's not the same. So,
what are the differences that makes teracarpa more ideal?
It is faster growing It gets taller than the regular King Palm It tolerates full sun better It doesn't brown tip in full sun It has a blue crown shaft It has a super thick trunk
The band size plants are about 3-4 years old and huge – about 2 feet
tall and need to be planted or repotted into 5g pots.

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

ENCEPHALARTOS PAUCIDENTATUS
MEDIUM TO LARGE RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
UPRIGHT GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL GOOD SIZED 15G CYCAD
This rare cycad is native to Swaziland, northern South Africa. It
is known as one of the most attractive of all the green cycads. It does
great in Southern California but is rare and hard to find. New
leaves tend to be upright. Most pronounced is the "frost"
appearance of leaves as shown below. This is from small hairs on
the leaflets. Compared to other cycads leaflets are fairly thin –
and they carry spines.It
makes a medium to large mature specimen. Mature size can be over
fifteen feet with 6 to 10 foot green leaves. Along the coast it’ll take
full sun. Far inland I’d recommend limited sun. Cold tolerance is down
to the low 20’s F.The plant
on Special is in a 15g pot and has an 8 inch caudex.
REGULAR PRICE THIS ACTUAL 15 GALLON CYCAD $1280
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS ACTUAL PLANT $880
Below I'm showing photos of a large specimen at the nursery.We have another of this species in a 25g pot and a few seedlings.
ENCEPHALARTOS LANATUS A RARE BLUE CYCAD FROM SOUTH AFRICA
LOVES HEAT AND SUN – VERY THIN LEAFLETS TEN
DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This beautiful South African species of cycad is best known for the
silvery throw of new leaves that it displays. It has a medium
sized trunk, usually to a maximum height of six feet. It does
sucker from the base. Leaves are about three feet long and arching
downward. The leaflets are very narrow and essentially unarmed.
When new leaves emerge they are a brilliant silver in color. I was
absolutely stunned by the beauty of this species the first time I saw a
mature plant throw new leaves. As they age, they become more of a
blue green color.
The native locality for this species experiences
extremes in weather from very high summer heat to definite freezes in
winter. In the garden, this species demands sun. I'd
estimate cold hardiness to be in the low 20's. It is a good
species for those in cooler areas who still get summer heat. .
Shown here is a citrus pot sized plant
that has a caudex of 2.75 inches.
Remember that rare cycads are sold by their caudex size.
We’re offering nice prices on this size.If you buy one and it’s a bit smaller caudex
size, it’ll cost less.If it’s bigger, it’ll be more.

CORDYLINE TERMINALIS SINGAPORE TWIST
NEW SPECIES TO OUR NURSERY
COLORFUL HAWAIIAN TI TYPE PLANT
BUT, TOTALLY DIFFERENT! LEAVES IN ONE PLANE
TEN DAY SPECIAL SIZE SHOWN
For the past two
years, we have gotten in something brand new to the nursery market and
our Nursery. They typically have sold out within a few days.
It is a plant that is super colorful. It may look like the
Hawaiian Ti plant. But, it is totally different. This
species is a dischitous type plant. Its leaves are in one single
plane - from the front is totally seen and wide but from the side it is
narrow. It's similar to a Traveler Palm in this way. Also,
it is a rhizomitous plant. It grows from rhizomes in the ground.
So, it is suckering! Leaves are wide like the Hawaiian Ti
but the color is shown more on older leaves. They are purple-red.
Leaf stems are a colorful red.
Mature height is
four to seven feet and it will take coastal sun. Inland areas
would consider part sun or strong filtered light. By report, it
will take a freeze. We only have a few dozen plants. They’ll
probably sell out quickly. They
can be mail ordered but may take an oversized box to ship.

ROYSTONEA REGIA THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
PICTURES SHOWING THIS SPECIES
This pinnate New World species is another
favorite of mine. When I started with palms about forty years ago,
enthusiasts frowned when I mentioned this species and said
"unfortunately, Phil, you can't grow the Royal Palm here". Well, I
didn't buy that and instead had optimism over it's possibly doing well
here. And, exactly the latter has proven to be the case. 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. Natives to Florida are chagrined with the fact
that "Roystonea elata" was determined not be a unique Royal
Palm native to Florida but rather at most a variety of Roystonea
regia. Compared to the South American Royal Palm, Roystonea
regia's leaves hang down past (lower than) the midway point of the
crown. Roystonea oleracea's leaves stop at the "half
moon" point and don't hang down near the trunk.
Royal Palms love heat and sun. Cold
tolerance is about 25 degrees F. They are fast growers. We
have a pretty good supply available. I hope you like the photos
I'm showing here. Note how the base of the Royal Palm is quite swollen
and fat. On up the trunk there is variable swelling present.
One picture here shows a really massive base on the Royal.
Of note, we always have smaller sizes of this species available.
And, sometimes, we can offer 15g and boxed sized plants.
DIOON SONORENSE
THE GREEN VARIETY
SUPER RARE SPECIES
SELDOM SEEN
FORTY YEAR OLD PLANT
THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT
From time to time I have discussed the genus of Dioon cycads.I am particularly fond of this genus because they tend to be very
durable plants.As a group,
some get quite tall, others are hort. I am showing below as forty
year old specimen of one of the more rare species of Dioon – Dioon
sonorense. This
species used to be grouped as a type of tomasellii.
In 1998 it was given its own status as a species. Dioon
sonorense is
from northwest Mexico in the Sonora and Sinaloa states.It lives at rather high elevations in hot and dry climates.
Trunks are usually short, typically four feet or less after many decades
of growth.Leaves are
straight, sometimes with a bit of a twist along the axis. Leaf
color is green to blue, depending on the locality of the variety one
has. The blue variety is referred to as the “bacanora”
type.Leaflets are thin and
pointed at the end.
Sometimes they are falcate (sickle shaped).This species prefers sun and cold tolerance is down to the low
20's F. or perhaps even colder. This species has always been super
difficult to find.
I thought you'd like to see this coning sized cycad. The plant
shown here is about 40 years old.I sold it to a customer 25 years ago and he grew it.He decided to sell it and called me.The caudex is about 10 inches wide and 14 inches tall.It is the green variety and shown in the first eight photos.It was sold the same day I got it in.Below are photos of this plant and both the blue and green
variety of this species with one photo showing the falcate leaflets.
Note that the blue and green varieties are similar except for the
leaflet color.
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.

RAVENEA JULIETIAE
AN EXTREMELY RARE PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
LAST CHANCE TO GET ONE
THIN TRUNK, UPRIGHT ARCHING GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 15 GALLON SIZE ONLY A FEW LEFT
This is a rather thin trunked, tall pinnate palm that is rarely seen and
native to eastern Madagascar. How I found out about this species
has always made this species special to me. About twenty-five
years ago at a meeting in Florida, just before the book, Palms of
Madagascar, was released, I met and talked to its authors, John
Dransfield and Henk Benjtee, both of Kew Gardens in the U.K. Both
of these taxonomists and field researchers had heard about this unusual Ravenea species.
They drove for hours trying to get a look at it, always with no results.
Out of frustration, they stopped the car on a remote dirt road, got out
the binoculars and started an intense scanning of the horizon, hoping
for a glimpse of this yet to be described species. With them was
Henk's wife, Julie. In frustration, they were about to give up
their search. Then, Henk's wife pointed to a large specimen just
feet from the car and by the side of the road. She said, "Maybe
it's this one". And, it was! Right in front of them was the
specimen they used to describe this species. And, because of her
"assistance", it was named after Julie.
Trunk height is thirty feet with a diameter of only about six inches.
Leaves are recurved a bit and leaflets are widely spaced. Leaf
color is green and leaflets are thin.The leaf stem is green and also thin.We've found this species to be very slow growing. Most
would grow it in coastal sun or at least part day sun. Cold
tolerance is unknown but appears to be in at least the upper 20's F.
This species is near impossible to find.And, because seeds are no longer available and can’t be gotten
from habitat anymore, this species is essentially impossible to find.
Originally we had five or six plants in 15g and 25g sizes. Now we
are down to one or two 15 gallon. I suspect I'll never be able to
offer this species again.
These plants cam from a private collection as we sold out of them last
year.

MATURE, FLOWERING SIZE 15G
FILTERED LIKE, SHORTER PALM TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON PLANTS
This New World suckering shade palm has pinnate leaves
and never gets much above 8 to 9 feet. This is the
reason it's so popular. It is sought out as one of
the most popular interior palms. This has been the
case for about 100 years. A good thing is that it
does fit inside the home of the average house without
hitting the ceiling. Outdoors, it wants filtered
light and is cold hard into the mid, perhaps lower 20's
F. The 15g on sale here are about ten or more
years old and locally grown. They shouldn't get any
taller and have about as many canes as a 15g pot will
support. And, they are much more sturdy and hardy
than imported plants. They've seen all of our cold

RHAPIS MULTIFIDA

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

GASTROCOCOS CRISPA AKAACROCOMIA CRISPA
THE CUBAN BELLY PALM
SPINY PINNATE PALM
CENTRAL TRUNK SWOLLEN
Native to various areas of Cuba, this single
trunk spiny palm is most known for the prominent bulge in the central
trunk as shown here. The spines on the trunk are variable.
Some older plants seem to lose their spines whereas others keep them.
See the photos below. I've shown some photos that definitely show
the bulge in the trunk.
Heights can get to over thirty feet, crowns are full, leaves are plumose
and overall appearance of the trees are very interesting. This is
a full sun species that can be grown in frost free areas of Southern
California. We probably have some smaller sizes available
presently. BTW, I am old fashioned and really like the old name ofGastrococos
crispa.
From a private grower we have gotten in this
really impressiveAlocasiathat
struck my fancy. It has super dark, essentially black stems.
And, the black continues up into the leaf on the underside veins.
We tried one outdoors about two months ago - sort of an experiment to
see how it would do with winter. And, it had no damage with our
low this year at 34 degrees F. So, I got the last two or three to
offer to customers. These are in 5g pots and stand about four feet
tall. I anticipate it'll be an understory plant with filtered
light. I suspect a freeze would damage them. Although just a
guess, I'd say mature height will be about six feet. No one knows
presently the species name of this plant. As mentioned, available
only for a short time in very limited number.
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.

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.

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

CHAMAEDOREA KLOTZSCHIANA SINGLE TRUNK MEXICAN CHAMAEDOREA
THIN TRUNKED, GROUPED LEAFLETS TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON
MULTIPLES
This single trunk, shade loving palm is from
the Veracruz area of Mexico and named after a German botanist, Johann
Klotzsch. The plant shown here has reached its mature height of twelve
feet. It has a prominently ringed but narrow green trunk.The most remarkable characteristic of
this species is the grouping of leaflets along the rachis. These groups
are irregularly spaced. Also note how they leaflets are held at
different angles from the rachis. Leaflets are a dark green, small to
medium in length, wide and a bit puffy. It's this grouping of leaflets
that allows you to ID this species.
Another surprising this is how hard it is to find this species. When I
started my nursery 42 years ago, I had lots of these and seeds were
available. Nowadays you can't find seeds to save your soul.This is a shade loving species and
cold hardy into the mid-twenties F. At best perhaps it'd take down to
about 25 degrees. These
plants should probably work fine as a house plant and are shippable in a

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

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 etonia.
Both are nicely sized. The last photo is c/o TS at RPS. This is a

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

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 and are at least 3 years old. These are a
piece of cake to ship, but only within the U.S. Be aware that we have
limited numbers and are repotting them into cit pots / 5 gallon

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

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

About four decades ago I visited Seaborne Nursery up in the

planted them and within about five to ten years found they have the most
peculiar, large and swollen trunks. The leaflets are quite fine;
but the trunk is massive. It has a green snake skin type of
texture and is a fast growing tree. The plant I’m showing
here is a 25 gallon we’ve been growing for years.It’s about 15 feet tall and begging for a home.I am also showing you pictures of mature trees in Australia, the

RHAPIDOPHYLLUM HYSTRIX
THE NEEDLE PALM
WORLD'S MOST COLD HARDY PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD FIFTEEN GALLON SIZE
There is no doubt in my mind that this species is the most cold tolerant
of any palm species. It is native to the southeastern United States
with native habitats stretching from South Carolina down to northern
Florida and into Alabama and Mississippi. There are reports of
this species tolerating below zero degrees F. Now, this doesn't
mean that you can grow it in Michigan. But, in areas that see
significant cold such as North Carolina, central Texas or even New
Mexico, this species might work for you.
It is a suckering fan palm and known as the "Needle Palm" because it
forms dark colored, protuberant needles on the trunk. One photo
below shows the spines. In sun the leaf color is a silver green
with more silver underneath. In shade the color gets dark green,
reminiscent of a Rhapis Palm. Trunks are usually under
three feet tall and four to six inches thick. But, because the
leaves come upwards, the overall height of the plant can be six to seven
feet or taller. They can get a bit bushy. The common name of
“Needle Palm” comes from the fact that the stubby trunks have long dark
colored needles – reminiscent of a knitting needle.This is a very slow growing species that slowly crawls the ground
by suckering. These are rare to find for sale. We're putting
very old 15g on special.

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.

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.

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

Alocasia sumo is a hybrid species - a cross between A.
portora and "purple cloak". The cold hardiness comes
from the portora parentage. This is a medium sized hybrid
with 3 to 4 foot long leaves that are diamond shaped with a purple hue
to the underside of the leaves. Leaves point upwards. There
are prominent veins on the leaves. Plant height should be about 6
to 8 feet. It is reported that this species is a "7b" zone species
which means it should tolerate a freeze. Obviously, it'd look best
in summer. We'd recommend filtered light or limited sun. The

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 but got in some about 9 months
ago. So, we are just about able to offer some small band plants.
PRITCHARDIA MINORIN SAN
DIEGO
MATURE AND FRUITING FOR YEARS
THIN TRUNK, MEDIUM HEIGHT
ENABLES US TO OFFER YOU NURSERY PLANTS
I wanted to show you photographs of a maturePritchardia
minorthat's thriving in central San Diego, CA. For
many years our nursery has been selling young plants that come from the
seeds of this mother tree. It is a magnificent specimen. I'd estimate
its height to be fifteen feet with a trunk diameter of eight inches.
Native to the Island of Kaui in HI, this tree is quite rare and grows at
high elevation in locality. It tolerates full sun here if you are not
too far inland. I've seen this species in habitat and the one shown in
the first three rows of photos (San Diego) is taller than ones I've seen
in the wild. I figure its culture that made it this large. The last
row shows some photos of plants we have for sale and a specimen of this
species in HI. Although availability changes over time, we hope that we
can continue to offer this unique species in the future.
CHAMBEYRONIA HOOKERI
THE BLONDE FLAME THROWER PALM
GORGEOUS PALM FROM NEW CALEDONIA
USUALLY HAVE A 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. The crown shaft of the hookeri is a tan to yellow
color. Along the coast it's possible to grow this species in full
sun but for most areas several hours of sun or strong filtered light
will work fine. Cold tolerance is about 23 degrees F. Mature
plant height is about 25 feet. About one in twenty of both
Chambeyronia species will not throw a new leaf and, with smaller plants,
we can't tell which ones won't throw one. But, the majority do put
out the sought after new red leaf. If you want to secure such a
plant, look for a smaller one that has or is showing this red trait.
BTW, this species makes a great interior palm.

RHOPALOSTYLIS BAUERI NORFOLK ISLAND PALM
SINGLE TRUNK - CROWN SHAFTED TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Rhopalostylis baueri,
the Norfolk Island Palm, is native to two locations. Norfolk
Island (an Australian island) is the home of the classic Rhopalostylis
baueri but
there is also a population in Kermadec Islands, a New Zealand territory.
The population of Rhopalostylis
baueri on
Norfolk Island is near the elevated center of the island, rare
elsewhere. In this locality, it is threatened by rodents that eat
the seeds and young seedlings. In the Kermadec location, this
species is found on Raoul Island. It is more plentiful there
because there have been efforts to eliminate the rat population.
In my experience, this species does best in less than full sun along the
coast. Half day morning sun is about perfect. It has a cold
tolerance into the low 20's F. and is being grown in the SF Bay area.
Anticipate a height typically of about 25 feet mature. We are putting our 15 gallon size on special. The 8th photo

Its leaf stems are armed as shown here. It prefers full sun, even in
desert areas. I've read reports of it tolerating snow in Georgia.I'd estimate cold tolerance to be at least 20 degrees F.

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?

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. We are getting very low on this

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.

CHAMBEYRONIA HOOKERI
THE BLONDE FLAME THROWER PALM
GORGEOUS PALM FROM NEW CALEDONIA
The palm shown in the first two rows is a 5 gallon
size of Chambeyronia hookeri with its blonde colored crown
shaft. This species is hard to find. It is different in appearance
from the dark green crown shafted form, Chambeyronia macrocarpa.
Here's some facts about this species:
• Growth habit and care about the same as
macrocarpa
• Along the coast will tolerate full sun if you're are not too far
inland
• Crown shaft is yellow-tan colored and quite prominent
• Cold tolerance is about 23 degrees
• Growth rate on this species like macrocarpa is slow to
medium but improves once planted in the ground.
• Trunk diameter is about 8 inches typically and overall height of
mature plants is about 25 feet
• Leaflets are shiny green, thick and sturdy, and quite wide as shown
• Like macrocarpa, about 95% of the time throws newly emerging
red leaf as shown here. Rarely a plant will not throw new red leaves
and there's no way of predicting this.
• Also makes a great interior palm inside the home
We have very limited numbers available of this species and only several
in this 5 gallon size. But, we also have some band sized plants.
ASSORTEDPRITCHARDIASPECIES THE HAWAIIAN PALM
OLD AND NICE SPECIMENS IN LARGER POTS
MULTIPLE SPECIES AVAILABLE
Pritchardiaare a tropical fan palm. Most
do not get overly large and many are under fifteen feet tall.
Along the coast they tolerate full sun. There are about 25
species with habitats ranging from Hawaii to some South Pacific
islands. We only grow the Hawaiian varieties as they do the
best in Southern California where most will take coastal full
sun. Or, grow them in part day sun. Cold tolerance is in the
mid-twenties or a bit lower.
I'm showing you three different species that are representative
of this genus. all are between ten and fifteen years old and in
25 gallon pots or 24 inch boxes. All have some degree of
trunk. On pair are over 14 feet tall in their pots. We have a
pretty good supply of such large specimen Pritchardiuas.
Almost all are outdoor grown in sun. Leaves on some species are
totally flat. Others have a wave to the leaf. Some are colored
on the undersides. There's a perfect Hawaiian Palm for anyone.
These are way too big and tall for mail order but can be
trucked. We have about eight different species of Pritchardia
in these sizes.
EUTERPE EDULIS THIN, SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM EXOTIC AND TROPICAL APPEARING
SMOOTH CROWN, COLORED CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON TRIPLE
Euterpe edulisis
a fun palm to grow because it is super attractive, has a narrow trunk
and a beautiful, smooth crown shaft. I have had several in my
garden. On mine, the crown shafts were a purple-green color but
it's more common to see them as a lime green. Maximum height is
about thirty feet with about a four inch thick trunk. Leaves tend
to arch down and leaf color is green. Typically and most
successful is 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.
The palm on special is a triple that has come from a private
collection.It has been
acclimated to sun and has been seeing coastal sun for about two years.Overall height of this triple in the pot is 8 to 10 feet.Seeing this species available as a triple and of this size is
almost unheard of. I only have this one.

RHAPIS HUMILIS
VERY RARE TYPE OF LADY PALM
TWO LARGE SPECIMEN PLANTS JUST AVAILABLE INTERIOR OR GARDEN PALM TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON SIZE
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 one of the two plants in 25 gallon pots that we
just got in. These have been growing for 30 years in a small SD
County nursery that closed down. They are absolutely huge
specimens, the largest plants of this species we've had in years.
Heights in the pots are 12 to 14 feet as shown. The pots are full
with stems. They are a matching pair. I'm just showing one
of the two. These two plants are not inexpensive and truly deserve
a great private or botanical garden for display. I'm putting them
on special but doubt they'll be around long. They are too big for
shipping unless we use a delivery service. The garden photo is by FM at
the LA Arboretum.

TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD 25 GALLON PLANTS
I rarely have this size R. multifida available as seeds are
impossible to get and it’s equally hard to import plants from HI.But, we just obtained two 30 year old specimens from a private
collection. This is a another
very rare type of Lady Palm. This species is from China and is often
mistaken for Rhapis humilis. But, it is a smaller species,
getting to about 8 to 9 feet tall whereas humilus gets about
twice as tall. R. humilis also has more leaflets that, in
general are thinner.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. But, some of the leaflets are wide,
especially the more central ones.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.
The plants on special are full size and about 30 years old.They are too big for standard mail order but can be delivered.

CHAMAEDOREA HOOPERIANA BAMBOO PALM THAT IS TALL AND FULL
STRONG & LARGE 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 15 GALLON AS SHOWN $325

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

ALSO GREAT UNDERSTORY GARDEN PLANT TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 15G SIZE
We have an assortment of Lady Palms which
are near perfect - almost as nice as the expensive ones we bring in out
of Hawaii. But, they are locally grown and better priced. And, we are
offering them on special. Have you ever wondered why you hardly ever
see Rhapis on sale? It's because they are super slow growing.
The plants shown here are eight, maybe ten years old. Therefore,
growers have little motivation to sell them cheap. The plants shown
here are nice enough for a bank or hotel lobby, a professional office or
even your living room.
Rhapis excelsa is native to Asia and typically doesn't get much
over 8 feet tall in a pot. They do great in shady locations of the
garden or inside the home. They are a very nice patio plant. Cold
hardiness is about 20 degrees F. They want low dose fertilizer. Too
much fertilizer will burn them. The plants on special here are 15g

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

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

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

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

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

This species of a green cycad can be grown in the garden or as an
interior palm. We just got in from a private collection a 30 year
old plant in a 25 gallon pot.The caudex is about 7 inches wide and 24 inches tall.Planted in your garden this specimen will be about 8 feet tall in
a few decades.In a pot it
will grow more slowly.
Dioon spinulosum is native to tropical areas in Mexico where it
grows in limestone forests. Trunks don't get overly thick,
typically a maximum of 12 to 14 inches thick. Leaves are green and
mildly armed. Leaf length is about six feet. My preference
is to grow this species in filtered light or several hours of sun.
Right on the coast some grow it in full sun but the leaves are a more
limy green if you do this.
Cold tolerance is into the mid twenties F. If you grow it indoors
give it ample light but it doesn’t require direct sun.
At the nursery we usually have a good selection of this species from
small to large. We’re putting this 25 gallon specimen on sale for
ten days with a steep discount.Note that we have both smaller and larger plants of this species
for sale as well. This includes

TEN DAY SPECIAL FORTY YEAR OLD SPECIMEN
I enjoy talking about cycad, Lepidozamia peoffskyana, because
it is one of my favorites. It is a large species over time.
I say "user friendly" because this is one of the few cycad species that
has absolutely no spines - none of the leaflets, none one the stems.
A leaf brushing across your face feels no more intense than brushing
past a Maiden Hair Fern. We have a good selection of this species from
seedlings to quite a few very old specimens as shown below.The main characteristics of this species include:
*Large species with trunks slowly getting to over ten feet
*Leaf length typically six to eight feet, sometimes bigger.
*Trunk diameter to 18 inches
*Smooth petiole with no spines
*Great for strong filtered light or full sun along the coast
*Large interesting cones
*Leaflets soft and glossy green in color
*New leaves emerge upward, older leaves lay more horizontal
*Easy to grow
I've found that even customers who say "I only like palms, not cycads"
tend to love this species. The plant on special is in a 35 gallon
container and is well established.It had been present in a performing arts center for several
decades before we received it six or eight years ago.The caudex is 17 inches wide and 27 inches tall.I’m offering it on special and don’t recall the sex of this

VARIEGATED MONSTERA DELICIOSA
"MONSTERA ALBO"
THE CRAZE - "EVERYONE HAS TO GET ONE"
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THEM ONE CUTTING FOR SALE
Our nursery has three or four mother plants of
the variegated Monstera deliciosa.
Nowadays the name "Monstera
albo" has surfaced. We are not
experts on these plants but have learned a few things about them.
1. In the past year I've had over a
hundred emails or phone calls from people that want one. It's
definitely a craze for these plants and prices are extremely pricey. 2. If you Google "variegated Monstera",
for the first four pages of results you just see people trying to sell
them. It's hard to find a good article about them. 3. Sometimes (through probably mutations)
green Monstera
spontaneously become variegated. My suspicion is that all existing
"albo's" originally came from plant mutations. 4. If you propagate from such a
spontaneous plant, never take cuttings below the point where the plant
became variegated. I.e., don't cut down to a green leaf. If
you do, you may lose the variegation on future leaves. 5. Every new leaf from our plants is
different - as shown on the photos here. This seems to be true
universally for all the variegated plants we have. Don't think
you'll get the exact plant that's shown in a photo (on line) because
yours will probably be different over time. 6. It's probably best to take a two leaf
cutting and make sure you've included a "node". If it has roots
coming out at the bottom of your cut, that's definitely a good thing.
7. Grow them in a open well draining mix
and don't overwater them. We use a mix of sphagnum moss, bark and
a tiny bit of soil. Filtered light is preferred. 8. Remember that Monstera
normally live in trees and not the ground. Small plants crawl the
ground looking for a tree that they can climb. As a potted plant,
give them something to climb.
Over time we'll have more cuttings for four
sale. We're anticipating a few more in the next month or two.
The one shown here was removed about a month ago from a mother plant and
is rooting out now. It was a three leaf cutting. Note all
leaves are different. We give no guarantees on cutting survival or
future appearance on plants that we sell nor a promised appearance of
variegation. For mail order, we pack carefully in slightly damp
moss and ship in a box via Fed Exp. I can ship priority if needed.

For about a year folks have called us to obtain smaller sized Traveler
Palms. But, we didn't have any. In fact, the industry is

available a small number of fairly nice 2 gallon plants.They are about 18 inches tall.We have about ten for sale. This is a quick growing plant and
these should do well for most of you that don't freeze. These are
fast growing. They like sun in most areas but do not take a freeze
- which will melt them overnight. Also be aware that they do

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

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 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

GALLON SIZE This
suckering palm species is native to Mexico and Central America. It
is one of about four types of "Bamboo Palms" and is probably either the
best or in a stiff competition with Chamaedorea
hooperiana. This species gets to a
mature height of twelve to sixteen feet, has strong 1 inch to 1.5 inch
trunks which are green in color with prominent rings, and about three to
four foot long leaves. It is an upright grower and does clump.
It doesn't run. It takes filtered light or morning sun along the
coast. I've even heard of some growing it in full sun although I'd
not recommend it. It is a good growing species. Cold hardiness is
into the mid to lower 20's F. It
is far superior to the more common Bamboo Palm, Chamaedorea seifritzii.
Below I'm showing

CHAMAEDOREA RADICALIS HYBRID COASTAL SUN TOLERANT - COLD HARDY
THIN TRUNK - GREEN LEAVES TEN DAY
SPECIAL THESE UNUSUAL HYBRIDS
On many occasions in the past, I've discussed Chamaedorea radicalis.
I've presented both the dwarf and trunking forms. The dwarf form
has wider green leaflets and never trunks. The trunking form has
about a inch thick green trunk, gets to a height of twelve feet or so
and has thin leaflets with bluish leaf stems. Well, let me
introduce what appears to be a hybrid of the two. These plants
came from domestic private garden seeds and don't fit the
characteristics of either dwarf or trunking forms. The leaflets
are green, a bit wide but not to the extent of the dwarf form, and are
forming a trunk. I've not seen this before. They should be
cold hardy to 20 degrees F or a bit lower and tolerate full coastal sun.
The 15g size are seen in the first two rows of photos below. In
the last row I'm showing the dwarf and trunking forms (nursery plants).
I have no mature garden plants to show you.

BRAHEA CLARA
SINGLE TRUNK BLUE FAN PALM
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
MAYBE TOLERATES HUMIDITY BETTER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This is a single trunk, blue fan palm from the area of Sonora in Mexico.
It is closely related to Brahea
armata and
some would consider it a variant of the latter. But, there are
others who praise the interesting characteristics of this "species" and
think it's indeed a different species. We've heard that people in
the southern U.S. say this species tolerates the humid summers better
than the desert-loving Brahea
armata.
People in the San Francisco bay area say it grows better there and
doesn't seem to demand as much hot weather in the summer. Brahea
armata has
to have hot summers. Others claim it's faster growing than armata,
and this is probably true. There are some who feel this fast
growth is because of natural hybridization with Brahea brandegeei
in the wild. Others will tell you that the petiole is longer,
has a different color and the crown is more open.
So, what does one make of all this?
You have to be the judge. All I can say is that I got in some very
nice and chunky 15g plants as shown here. This will be a medium
sized, full sun palm that takes temperatures into the mid-teens.
And, if you like blue and live in the South, perhaps this is the species
to get. BTW, there are very few photos of this species on the
Internet. I wish to thank TS at RPS for his photo in the wild.
This is the first time I've offered this species in three years and
they'll sell out quickly. I have six of them. It is near
impossible to find available for sale.

ONE OF THE MOST COLD HARDY PALMS
GREEN LEAVES - SINGLE TRUNK FAN PALM
NICE 15G ON TEN DAY SPECIAL
Trachyarpus fortunei is
the most commonly available and commonly grown of the Windmill Palms.
It is of Chinese origin . It is referred to as the Chinese
Windmill Palm, the Windmill Palm, or the Chusan Palm. Note how the
term "Windmill Palm" can refer to this particular species or to the
genus as a whole. It is not uncommon to see it growing in
colder areas of the United States, southern Europe, the Mediterranean
and southern portions of Australia and Africa.
Most specimens one will see are in the height range of ten to twenty
feet. However, the oldest of trees may reach forty feet height.
The actual trunk diameter is typically six to ten inches. The
leaves are typically about three feet in diameter and have variable
division of the segments. Leaves are green on the upper side and below,
but it is not uncommon for one can see a bit of blue discoloration to
the underside of the leaf. Distal leaf segments can flex downward
toward the ground. Cold hardiness appears to be down into the
single digits F. This palm wants at least some sun or full sun on
the coast. It does poorly in deep shade. Shown here are our
good sized 15g which we're putting on sale..

to the touch. With good culture, maybe you can get three new
leaves a year. About one in twenty plants fail to throw a new red
leaf - rather, it remains green. This is just bad luck and there's
no way to predict which will do this. Shown here are our squat 15

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

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

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

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

bright filtered light. It's a great species to grow.

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

full sun right on the coast but most give it part day sun, especially in
inland areas. Cold tolerance is down to the mid-twenties F. We’re

in almost any coastal or near-coastal garden.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. One photo
shows this below.The

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA
THE PURPLE CROWN SHAFT KING PALM
VERY BEAUTIFUL - GOOD GROWER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SINGLE OR MULTIPLE SIZE
The native home of Archontophoenix purpurea is the Mt. Lewis
mountain range in Queensland, Australia. This species is known for
the purple color to the crown shaft. It is found at an elevation
up to 4000 feet. Mature height is quoted to be over fifty feet,
but in habitat and culture I didn't see one this tall. For types
of King Palms, this species is stated to have the thickest trunk.
I don't think I agree with this and feel A. maxima is thicker.
Most I've seen have a trunk diameter of twelve inches or somewhat more.
Cold hardiness is about 25 degrees F. It takes full coastal sun.
The degree of purple in the crown shaft is variable but never "lollipop"
purple. The underside of the leaves is silver and there is ramenta
hairs only on this side. On younger plants the leaf bases and leaf
stem tend to have a yellow color. I'm showing our 15g size which
we're putting on a Ten Day Special. This size is shown in the
first two rows of photos and has three individual plants together. We
also have singles available as well as smaller 5g and 1g sizes.

BECCARIOPHOENIX ALFREDII
THE MADAGASCAR PLATEAU COCONUT PALM
MEDIUM SIZES SINGLE TRUNK PALM
HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER – NEW BATH JUST AVAILABLE
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. These can be mail ordered.

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.

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.

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

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII EASTERN CAPE BLUE CYCAD
FULL SUN, NEVER VERY BIG
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
One of the most popular blue cycads that we sell is this South African
species from the Eastern Cape region (toward the ocean). It is a
very slow growing species that, in fifty years, is rarely over a height
of five feet tall. So, like the Dioon above,
it'll always stay small and not obstruct a view. The color is
intensely blue. I tell people it's like the color of a clear blue
sky after you've thrown in a tiny bit of fog. The other thing
about this species, compared to E.
horridus and trispinosus,
is that it's much less spiny and very uniform in shape when mature.
Expect a trunk of no more than three feet and a crown width of no more
than six feet. It loves full sun on the coast and is cold hardy to
about 22 degrees F. Our band size which are on sale are shown in
the first five photos below.

CYCAS DEBAOENSIS
VERY RARE CHINESE CYCAD
MULTI-PINNATE, SMALL CAUDEX, LONG LEAVES
SUPER RARE SMALL SHADE CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON FEMALE PLANT
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. The plant on Special was obtained from a private
collection.The caudex is 7
inches and it’s a female in cone as shown below.At nurseries, this is considered an extremely rare cycad and is
always hard to find. Regular price at $175 per inch is $1225.

ENCEPHALARTOS MUNCHII
A BLUE TO BLUE-GREEN CYCAD
RARE AND VERY ATTRACTIVE CYCAD TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE FIVE GALLON SIZE
Native to Mozambique, this small to medium sized cycad grows in scrub
forest among rocks and boulders. It is distinguished by its blue to
blue-green color and by having leaflets that are prominently spiny. In
my experience, leaf color is sometimes very blue, other times
blue-green. You'll sometimes hear the description as "soapy green" to
describe the leaves. Overall, the leaf color is variable and I've shown
several photos here to demonstrate this. I've seen specimens that are
as blue as an Encephalartos horridus.
Trunk size is usually under three feet. Upright leaves are about four
feet long or less. Leaves are keeled and leaflets are lanceolate and
spiny. This species likes full sun and is cold tolerant into the low
20's F. The five gallon size on special are very nice - about six years
old - with caudexes of about 3 inches wide. They came from parents
domestically that both had extreme blue color. These can be mail

RAVENEA JULIETIAE AN EXTREMELY RARE PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
THIN TRUNK, UPRIGHT ARCHING GREEN LEAVES TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This is a rather thin trunked, tall pinnate palm that is rarely seen and
native to eastern Madagascar. How I found out about this species
has always made this species special to me. About twenty-five
years ago at a meeting in Florida, just before the book, Palms of
Madagascar, was released, I met and talked to its authors, John
Dransfield and Henk Benjtee, both of Kew Gardens in the U.K. Both
of these taxonomists and field researchers had heard about this unusual Ravenea species.
They drove for hours trying to get a look at it, always with no results.
Out of frustration, they stopped the car on a remote dirt road, got out
the binoculars and started an intense scanning of the horizon, hoping
for a glimpse of this yet to be described species. With them was
Henk's wife, Julie. In frustration, they were about to give up
their search. Then, Henk's wife pointed to a large specimen just
feet from the car and by the side of the road. She said, "Maybe
it's this one". And, it was! Right in front of them was the
specimen they used to describe this species. And, because of her
"assistance", it was named after Julie.
Trunk height is thirty feet with a diameter of only about six inches.
Leaves are recurved a bit and leaflets are widely spaced. Leaf
color is green. We've found this species to be very slow growing.
Most would grow it in coastal sun or at least part day sun. Cold
tolerance is unknown but appears to be in at least the upper 20's F.
This species is near impossible to find.
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $350

TRITHRINAX SCHIZOPHYLLA
THE CARANDILLA PALM
BLUE-GREEN 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 not quite as blue as campestris and
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.
Leaf color is blue-green, not nearly as blue as campestris.
It is a very cold hardy species that tolerates temperatures down to at
least 18 degrees F. On sale are very old, outdoor grown 15g
plants. I think we've been growing these for about 12 to 14 years.
It likes full sun and loves heat. It is possible to mail order

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

CHAMAEDOREA TEPEJILOTE
SINGLE TRUNK, TALL SHADE-LOVING PINNATE PALM
DARK GREEN RINGED TRUNK OFTEN GROWN AS A "MULTIPLE"
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
This single trunk pinnate palm is native to areas extending from
southern Mexico down to Columbia. They are often grown for food as
the male blossoms are cooked and eaten as a delicacy. This species
doesn't take sun here - it'll burn. But, in shade it thrives in
temperatures down to the mid-twenties F. It is quick growing and
has a rather thick, prominently ringed dark green trunk. Flowers
are quite prominent and, if you have several plants closely situated,
the chances are you'll obtain fruit without even trying. The last
photo shows a flower with green fruit. This species can also be
grown inside the home as long as the air is not too hot and dry. I
personally like the looks of a collection of several plants grown
together. Over time, as they age and get overhead, there will be
some "stair-stepping" of the crowns and this is quite attractive.
Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. It needs filtered
light, even when tall. We have singles and some multiples of our
5g that are on sale. Both singles and multiples are shown in the
first six photos. We also have nice 15g which are overhead in
their pots.

TRACHYCARPUS FORTUNEI
THE WINDMILL PALM
ONE OF THE MOST COLD HARDY PALMS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
Trachyarpus
fortunei is
the most commonly available and commonly grown of the Windmill Palms.
It is of Chinese origin. It is referred to as the Chinese Windmill
Palm, the Windmill Palm, or the Chusan Palm. Note how the term
"Windmill Palm" can refer to this particular species or to the genus as
a whole. It is not uncommon to see it growing in colder
areas of the United States, southern Europe, the Mediterranean and
southern portions of Australia and Africa. Cold tolerance is
between five and ten degrees F.
To get an overhead canopy of leaves may take one
about ten years. Mature, they get to a height of 20 feet or
more. The actual trunk diameter is typically six to ten inches.
The leaves are typically about three feet in diameter and have variable
division of the segments. Leaves are green on the upper side and below,
but it is not uncommon for one can see a bit of blue discoloration to
the underside of the leaf. Distal leaf segments can flex downward
toward the ground.
We’re putting a very shippable 5g size on special.

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

CYCAS PANZHIHUAENSIS
RARE GREEN CHINESE CYCAD
EXCELLENT COLD HARDINESS
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE AS SHOWN
This is a rare green cycad from China. It is different than the
Sago Palm - smaller and, to me, more attractive. Leaf color is
green to blue green. It tolerates coastal sun and is cold hardy
into the upper teens F. Some feel it's one of the most cold hardy
cycads in the world - even better than the Sago Palm. Mature
height should be about eight feet. They can sucker, but much less
than the Sago. They also take up less garden space than the Sago
Palm. Leaflets are narrow without armor except on the tips
(pointed).
The 15 gallon as shown in the five photos below has a caudex of 8
inches. We also have larger and smaller plants for sale. We
are putting plants of this size (about 8 inches caudex) on
special. These can be easily mail ordered but would take a large box to

tropical plants with an emphasis on palm trees. Some of the palm
species were quite rare. I was able to take some photos of these two
adjacent gardens. I am showing more general pictures of species with no

All the time customers are seeking out
Bismarckia, especially for mail orders to other states. We

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

BURRETIOKENTIA KOGHIENSIS RARE NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
NARROW TRUNK & WHITE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15G PLANTS
Back in the year 2000, I was the President of the International
Palm Society. One of my goals at the time was to break the
monotony of Biennial meetings always being held in the United States.
I found them to be repetitious and sort of boring. Certainly, no
one at the time would have called them exciting meetings.
With this in mind, I set up the 1998 Biennial in Thailand at Nong Nook
Gardens. That was a first. And, to outdo that meeting, I
arranged with the Palm Society of New Caledonia to have to 2000 Biennial
in their country. The palms of New Caledonia are some of the most
exciting and pretties palms of the world.
This gave Jesse and I a great opportunity to see
the New Caledonian palms in the wild. About 45 minutes out of
Noumea (the capitol) is Mount Koghi. This is the home habitat for
this species. It has a thin to medium trunk, a white crown shaft
and gets to about 25 feet tall. It's very beautiful and does great
in Southern California. Most grow it in part day sun. Cold
tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. (sort of like a King Palm with
tolerance of cold). Shown here are plants that we germinated about
8 years ago. They are finally really nice, old 15g plants.
You'll not see locally grown plants of this species and size around at

from Roul Island as opposed to Norfolk Island, the home of R. baueri.
It reportedly has darker brown tomentum on the crown shaft and petioles

But, the most remarkable thing is that some enthusiasts have noticed is
that it is a more aggressive grower in Southern California. In
fact, opposed to R. baueri, it has been known to do quite well in
full sun right along the coast. It is a medium sized pinnate palm
with a mature height of 25 to 30 feet and crown shafted. The trunk
is about 8 inches thick or a bit more.
Although you can't see it below, it has a a dark petiole. Be aware

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

Please read above where I introduced this South
African species and commented that there were various "forms" native to

Little is published about these plants or presented on the Internet.
From what I see, this variety has green leaflets that are thinner than
other varieties and have less spination on the leaflets. I anticipate
mature size will be similar to the regular E. natalensis
above. The plant on special is in a 15g pot and has a caudex of about 6

SPECIAL 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
are sun ready. I am showing some of these 15g below. The

DIOON MEROLAE
SLOW GROWING SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED CYCAD
GRAY-GREEN LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLDER BAND SIZED PLANTS
This is a slow growing New World cycad species that comes from Mexico.
It is very attractive. One of the things that is particularly nice
about this species is that the crown size is compact and not that large.
For this reason, it fits into a small sunny location in the garden where
no other plant would work. Its leaves are a silver-green in color
(can be just green) and it holds many leaves. An extremely old
plant might have a foot or two of trunk. In the wild there are
specimens that are possibly a thousand years old with many meters of
trunk, often leaning over toward the ground. But, from a practical
point of view, it is a small plant. If you grow this species,
you'll probably find that it will take fifty years or more to get three
feet of trunk. Cold hardiness is into the low 20's F. and it
prefers full sun except for harsh desert climates. We offer many
sizes of this species from seedlings up to trunked plants that are many
decades old. For mail orders, the band size is easy to ship.These are not newly germinated seedlings but rather plants with
an inch or more of caudex.
Most germinated five or more years ago.If you want larger, we do have citrus pot, 15g and boxed sized
plants. I hope that you like this cycad; it's one of my favorites. For
upscale landscaping, nothing beats it.

MEDIUM SIZED MATURE - LONG
GREEN LEAVES TEN DAY SPECIAL OLDER BAND
SIZE
This vigorous growing green cycad is native
to northern Mozambique and Malawi. In habitat it grows of mountain
slopes and in gorges. This
is a large, green leafed cycad which is fast growing. It
gets to a mature height of about ten feet in many decades with leaves
averaging six to eight feet long. Crowns
tend to stay erect, although it can become wide with full crowns.
Leaflets and petioles are armed with sharp spines, though the leaflets
have some flex to them. Thereby making them less pokey than some
species. This species is moderately rare among Encephalartos,
but is quite rare in cultivation. Female cones are a very pale

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.

HYBRIDALOCASIA -
EXOTIC WITH SOME COLD HARDINESS
MEDIUM SIZED, LUSH TROPICAL COMPANION PLANT TEN DAY SPECIAL FIFTEEN GALLON SIZE
Alocasia sumo is a hybrid species - a cross
between A. portora
and "purple cloak". The
cold hardiness comes from the portora
parentage. This is a medium
sized hybrid with 3 to 4 foot long leaves that are diamond shaped with a
purple hue to the underside of the leaves. Leaves are a lesser
purple-green and point upwards. There are prominent veins on the
leaves. Plant height should be about 6 to 8 feet. It is
reported that this species is a "7b" zone species which means it should
tolerate a freeze. Obviously, it'd look best in summer. We'd
recommend filtered light or limited sun. The juvenile plants on
sale are in one gallon pots. They are being grown in an un-heated
greenhouse.

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.

lives at lower elevations. At higher elevations up the mountains
one sees Howea belmoreana and Hedyscepe. The Kentia does
great here in So California. It is a single trunk species
that is often grown as a "multiple" with several plants in the same pot.
It does NOT sucker. Along the coast it takes full sun or part day
sun. Far inland, filtered light is needed. Cold
tolerance is about 25 degrees F. Mature height in sun is usually
about thirty feet in 30 years. Shown here is are examples of
absolutely good sized 25 gallon palms.These have been outdoor grown and are about twelve years old.
Standing next to them, most are about ten feet tall or more with 8 to 12

Most people are familiar with this species, the Pygmy Date Palm.
It is naturally a single trunks species. But, they are usually
sold as "triples" - three individual plants in the same pot - so often,
that people think it's a suckering species. And, 99% of plants are
sold as a "multiples". Over a few decades, this species can get to
a height of over ten feet. They are slow growing. Triples grow slower
than singles. This species is a type of Date Palm, so it does have
spines on its stems. Growth rate is medium to slow. It likes
full sun and is cold hardy to about 22 degrees F. Shown here are
some 15 gallon singles that we’re putting on sale.They have about 2 feet of trunk and are at least 8 years old.

ATTRACTIVE, LARGER GREEN FAN PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD 15G SIZED PLANTS
One of the favorite characteristics of Bismarckia is the blue
color to the leaves. But, there is a green variety on the island of
Madagascar. At another location, there is an endemic green Bismarckia known
as the "Mayotte Island" form. There is very little published
about these green forms of the Bismarck Palm. It likes sun and is
probably cold hardy into the low 20's F. Most feel it's not quite
as cold hardy as the blue form. On these green Bismarckias,
often you'll see red in the leaf stem or a hint of it on the leaves.
Of course, this is a full sun palm. This is a very rare palm to
find as everyone seeks out the blue type. But, we have this more
rare green form and have found they are showing nice cold hardiness to
the low 20's F. The plant shown below is about twelve years old.

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 not quite as blue as campestris and
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.
Leaf color is blue-green, not nearly as blue as campestris.
It is a very cold hardy species that tolerates temperatures down to at
least 18 degrees F. On sale are very old, outdoor grown 15g
plants. I think we've been growing these for about 12 to 14 years.
It likes full sun and loves heat. It is possible to mail order

FAIRLY COLD HARDY - TOLERATE SUN

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

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

ENCEPHALARTOS MSINGANUS

GREEN SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
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

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.

COCONUT PALM COCOS NUCIFERA
A GORGEOUS TROPICAL PALM
VERY LARGE BRIGHT YELLOW FRUIT
VERY DIFFICULT TO GROW IN SOUTHERN CA
There is hardly a palm more beautiful thanCocos
nucifera,the Coconut Palm. Although no one
knows for sure it's original native habitat, presently they are found
naturalized in tropical areas around the world. They tolerate heat
and sun, live right near salt containing oceans and get to a height of
about 40 feet. The yellow colored fruits are produced in
abundance. You might recognize store bought coconuts that are
brown. These are the seeds and within the thick fibrous husk of
the fruit. From a cultural point of view, this palm doesn't have a
lot of cold tolerance. It succumbs with temperatures below the
upper thirties F.
There are few if any Coconuts flourishing in Southern CA.
Once in a while you'll hear of one that's gotten overhead. But,
invariably, even these die. All the photos here were taken in the

quite sure what it is. Ceratozamia latifolia is similar but
typically throws emerging brown to red-brown leaves. We've never had a
Ceratozamia that threw gold. It's amazing to look at. I've
chosen larger photos for this particular post so you get a good look at
this plant. Unfortunately, leaves will predictably turn green over the
next month or so. This plant is about six feet tall in the box. It has
one main caudex about ten inches tall with four five inch offsets. The
next to last photo shows the leaves eventual green leaf color. BTW,
this plant sold immediately after it threw this set of leaves.
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.

CHAMAEDOREA CATARACTARUM THE
CAT PALM
A SEMI-DWARF CLUSTERING PALM SEMI-DWARF TO SIX FEET TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This species of palm has been sold under the name "Cat Palm", which
is an abbreviation 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 mature height.

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.

native to montane forests in Brazil and is near extinct in the wild.
It is rarely seen offered for sale. The more frequently seen
species of this genus is Lytocaryum
weddellianum, also from Brazil
rainforests. The latter is a much smaller plant than L.

filtered light genus with a cold tolerance in the mid-twenties F.
I've found from experience that Lytocaryum seem
to thrive on neglect. Too much water, fertilizer or attention
seems to not be right for them. Just plant one, don't pay
attention to it other than average watering, and they seem to do fine.

slowly getting to over ten feet and leaf length typically six to eight
feet or a bit more. Trunk diameter is usually about 18 inches. Leaves
are green with a smooth petiole with no spines. Leaflets are
glossy green. It prefers filtered light or full sun along the coast. I

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

HUGE HEART-SHAPED LEAVES
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND FOR SALE
FAIRLY COLD HARDY - MAKES A GARDEN HIGHLIGHT!
TEN DAY 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
time. And, they are never inexpensive to purchase.

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. I’m putting nice squat 15g on sale. See

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

HOWEA BELMOREANA THE SENTRY OR UMBRELLA PALM
ANOTHER PALM FROM LORD HOW ISLAND TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
There is a second endemic species of Howea
on Lord Howe Island. This is Howea belmoreana. Common
names used to describe this species include the Sentry Palm, the Belmore
Palm, the "Kentia Palm", and even the Umbrella Palm. However, the
name "Kentia Palm" is usually used to refer to the H. forsteriana. Howea
belmoreana comes from a higher elevation in its natural habitat
compared to the H. forsteriana. And, given this fact, one
might expect that this species is a little more cold tolerant.
Most growers have found this to be true, tolerating temperatures to
about 25 degrees F.
The main difference between this palm and the
standard Kentia is that the crown of leaves are quite curved pointing
downwards toward the grown. This gives the crown an overall
umbrella appearance. Like the H. forsteriana, the Belmore
Palm doesn't like full sun if away from the Coast and is rather slow
growing. Most find it to be slower than the regular Kentia Palm.
Culture is similar and there is little data on the transplant of this
species, but I suspect it will perform about the same as the standard
Kentia.

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

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"

giving a "V-shape" in cross section. Leaf length is two to five
feet. Leaflets are 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide and have a sharp
terminal tip. Encephalartos middleburgensis is a closely related
species and was originally felt to be a subspecies of eugene-maraisii. This
is a full sun cycad. In the wild it commonly sees freezing
temperatures. In culture it is know to tolerate mid to low 20's F.
We are currently putting our band sized plants on sale for ten days.
REGULAR PRICE BAND SIZE $135
TEN DAD SPECIAL BAND SIZE $95

ENCEPHALARTOS FEROX
SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
STUNNING RED OR ORANGE CONES
GREEN HOLLY FERN - LIKE LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLDER BAND SIZE PLANTS
This South African cycad is perhaps best known for two things: It
can grow in shady conditions and the cones (especially the female cone)
are red. The cone color varies from fire engine red to orange.
Female cones seem to be more colorful. The leaflets look like a
holly fern. Right along the coast, this species can take almost
full sun and look good. But, most people grow it in part day sun
or filtered light. From a seedling, it takes about ten years in
the ground to get a big, coning sized plant. Cold tolerance is
into the low 20's F. We’re offering our older band size on
special.Ages of these are
at least 4 years. Ideally, they
should be repotted into a larger container. These are easy
to ship within the U.S
REGULAR PRICE OLDER BAND SIZE $75 TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE BAND $60
MONSTERA DELICIOSA “SWISS
CHEESE PHILODENDRON”
LARGE GREEN LEAVES WITH HOLES IN THE LEAVES
CLIMBING SPECIES TEN DAY
SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Monstera deliciosa is a climbing tropical plant native to areas from southern
Mexico down through Latin America. It climbs up tree trunks and
can get up to 100 feet into the canopy. It has green leaves with
horizontal splits/openings. A particular form of this plant
doesn’t just have splits but rather holes/openings in the leaves.The plants on sale are this latter type.The trunks attached to whatever is near (tree trunks, fences,
posts, etc) and are about an inch thick. Trunks put out attaching
roots for support.Leaves
can be much larger than shown here when mature. They can easily
reach two to three feet in width.It is super easy to grow. Just plant it next to almost
anything. We’re putting our limited numbers of 15 gallon and 7
gallon on sale. The first six
photos shown the 15 gallon size.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON (SHOWN
BELOW) $175
TEN DAY SPECIAL 7 GALLON (NOT SHOWN) $145
The photos below are of the split leaf Philodendron, not the "Swiss
Cheese" variety.
TILLANDSIA
SPECIES WITH VIOLET BLUE FLOWERS CLUSTERS IN BLOSSOM IN SPRINGTIME
A TYPE OF AIR PLANT - JUST IN TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE CLUSTERS As I've mentioned before, I'm not a Tillandsia
expert. But, I could not pass when a private collector offered me
several clumps of a blue-gray Tillandsia in full blossom. The
blossoms are a violet-blue (photos make them appear a bit pink - which
they are not). I was told by the collector that the
blossom every spring to summer with lots of flowers. The clumps are composed
of ten to fifteen plants. I did my research and they are similar
to Tillandsia recurvata
or neglecta
- But this is only a guess. They'd like sun or part sun and to be
watered at least weekly. They can be mounted to a tree limb, post
or a fence. I've never had or seen this variety before.
These would be easy to mail order. TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE CLUSTERS $65
CORDYLINE FRUITICOSA CHILE
PEPPER
See Above. Pinkish-red thin leaflets. Tolerate coastal
full or part day sun. Far inland areas filtered light.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 3 GALLON SIZE $47.50
CORDYLINE FRUITICOSA
HARLEQUIN
See above. This variety has a mixture of light and dark
green, yellows-green and pink splotches throughout. They prefer
filtered light in most areas or a bit of sun.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 3 GALLON SIZE $47.50
CORDYLINE FRUITICOSA PINK
CASCADE
See above This variety is new to us. It has green leaves
of different tones with longitudinal stripes of lime color. Although I
can't be sure, I'd recommend filtered light or a bit of sun. They
haven't shown any pink color yet.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 3 GALLON SIZE $47.50
CORDYLINE FRUITICOSA FLORICA
These are the larger size of a dark red
variety. Leaves are super colorful, especially in sun, and can show a
bit of green. They can tolerate full or part day sun in most coastal
areas. The plants below are in 7 gallon containers and about five feet
or more in their pots.
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE LARGER 7

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

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

species in a brief article

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