CARYOTA
GIGAS MOUNTAIN GIANT FISHTAIL - GIANT BLACK FISHTAIL AKA CARYOTA OBTUSA This is one of the most popular Fishtail Palms because of it's beautiful full leaves. It has leaf lengths up to 14 feet with similar widths and definitely produces shade. It is quick growing and has a thick trunk, especially at the base. So, it needs plenty of room. It wants full sun and is cold hardy to the low 20's F. Like all Fishtail Palms, it is monocarpic - and dies when it flowers and finishes its seeding process. This palm is rather hard to find with size nowadays. A side note is that one taxonomist feels it should be called "Caryota obtusa", a species from India. Regular price one gallon $75 Sale price one gallon $60 until December 9th Regular price small 5 gallon $115 Sale price these small 5 gallon $85 until December 9th |

CHAMAEDOREA
BENZIEI AKA CHAMAEDOREA CARCHENSIS SOLITARY PALM WITH THICK TRUNK FOR GENUS This fairly newly named species is native to the Chiapas area of Mexico. It is single trunk and, for a Chamaedorea, has a rather thick two inch trunk. Leaves are green and leathery. Leaflets are wide and leaves arch. Mature height is 8 to 10 feet. It looks nicely planted in a small colony of two or three plants. It'll tolerate coastal sun or part sun. Cold tolerance is 25 to 27 degrees F. Interestingly, it was named after a palm enthusiast here in Southern CA. Below, the band size is shown first followed by the 5g size.

CYCAS
REVOLUTA X CYCAS DEBAOENSIS THE "REV-DEB" CYCAD - BEST OF BOTH SPEICES NEW HYBRID This very interesting hybrid would combine the rapid growth and sturdiness of the Sago Palm with the exotic branching leaves of the C. debaoensis. You can already see the bifid leaflets below. We anticipate a small to medium sized green cycad that perhaps can take sun along the coast. It'll be strikingly different than the Sago Palm. Also, it should have hybrid vigor and perform well. This cross is a recent hybridization and rare to find. We can ship these easily. I anticipate they'll have a cold hardiness into the upper teens F. I'm offering two sizes at this time. The 15g is shown in the last photo below. There are no mature garden plants that I know of. Cycas revoluta x debaoensis 1 gallon, caudex 2.5 inches or bigger - price $265 Sale Sale price this size 1 gallon $195 until December 9th Cycas revoluta X debaoensis 15 gallon, caudex 5 inches - price $650 Sale price this size 15 gallon $465 until December 9th |

BRAHEA EDULIS
SHORTER GREEN,
SINGLE TRUNK SUN FAN PALM
This is not what I'd
call a super rare species of palm, but for some reason they are near
impossible to find. We have a limited number of nice various sizes
for sale. Brahea
edulis is a
slow growing, shorter fan palm that is native to an island just off the
coast of Mexico south of San Diego, CA. It is found natively
nowhere else. The trunk is medium sized and mature trees obtain a
maximum height of under fifteen feet. The colony of 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-teens F.
They are also reasonably drought tolerant. Like other Brahea, large
specimens are very difficult to successfully transplant. On
special are one gallon plants we’ve grown from local seed.
REGULAR PRICE
ONE GALLON $70
Easy to mail order. We
may have other sizes available. |

DIOON EDULE
In other posts I’ve discussed Dioon edule, a typically small to
medium sized sun-loving cycad from Mexico. There are known to be
about six different varieties of this species - all from different
localities. The variety on sale here is from the Mexican state of
Queretaro. Leaves are
typically blue in full bright sun.
Leaves are about 4 feet long and leaflets are thin, coming to a
pointed end. Mature height
after a few decades may be six feet with an trunk height of 18 inches.
Cold tolerance is excellent, being able to take cold weather into
the teens F. The band size on sale are not new seedlings but
rather established older (five year old) plants with an average caudex
of 1.5 to 2 inches. The bands are shown in the first five photos
below. These are hard to find and easy to mail order. |

There is a yellow color to the leaf bases and leaf stems. It wants coastal sun or strong filtered light. Cold hardiness is about 24 degrees F.

HOWEA BELMOREANA THE SENTRY OR UMBRELLA PALM THE RARE TYPE OF KENTIA PALM 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. Sale price band size $50 Regular price 5 gallon $145 Sale price 5 gallon $110 Regular price 15 gallon $255 Sales price this size $200 |

tomentum. It
is hardy to sun, though it can tolerate a partial sun exposure. This
species is slow growing, but can get to heights several meters tall. This

ENCEPHALARTOS LEBOMBOENSIS MEDIUM SIZED MATURE SOUTH AFRICAN GREEN CYCAD EASY TO GROW - TOLERATES FULL COASTAL SUN
This medium sized, green leaf cycad comes from the Lebombo Mountains in
the Republic of South Africa. It has several habitat locations.
In more recent times, the species of E.
senticosus was
split from this complex. E.
lebomboensis has
a trunk that is fairly narrow for its trunk height of ten to twelve
feet. I call this a "medium" size because leaves are typically only four
to six feet long with widths of about two feet. Leaflets are a
glossy green, not very long or wide and mildly armed. In the
average garden, don't expect more than four to six feet in your
lifetime. This is a full sun species and cold hardy to the low
20's F.

DIOON MEROLAE
This has always been one of our nursery favorites. It's a slow
growing species from Chiapas, Mexico. Trunks can, over centuries,
get up to ten feet tall. Trunk thickness is about a foot on
average. They can branch overhead and pup from the base.
Leaf color is green or a definite gray-green.
A plant with a 3 foot trunk can easily be a hundred years old.
Leaves are gently keeled and leaflets are spiney and reflected backwards
toward the ground. Thus, in cross section the leaf looks like the
wings of a bird. Leaves are often stacked as you see with the
citrus pot plant below. The span of leaves on a healthy plant is
five to eight feet. Along the coast this species takes full sun.
In far inland areas, I'd give morning sun. Cold hardiness is down
to about 20 to 22 degrees F. It's not as cold hardy as Dioon
edule but,
I think, a lot prettier. We can offer a nice variety of sizes for sale. Sale price this band size $72.50 Regular price citrus pot plant with a caudex of 3.25 inches $440 Sale price citrus pot with caudex 3.25 inches $350 Regular price citrus pot with caudex 4.5 inches $650 Sale price cit pot with 4.5 inch caudex $495 Regular price fifty year old 24 inch box specimen with caudex 9 x 22 inches tall $3800 Sale price this fifty year old specimen as described $2950 |

PRITCHARDIA PACIFICA EXOTIC MEDIUM SIZED HAWIAAN FAN PALMS GEORGEOUS FAN PALM BUT NOT FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA If you have followed this Blog for a while, you know that I have an affinity for Pritchardia. I consider them one of the most tropical and beautiful fan palms around. They are un-armed, have attractive green leaves and often are colored with white wool or hair on the leaves or stems. I've found that almost any species from Hawaii does well for us in Southern California. But, those native to other South Pacific Islands don't survive our winters here. If you are in Southern Florida you can grow them. But, over the long haul, they'll decline in our locality. Pritchardia pacifica is not from Hawaii but rather from Tonga, Fiji and Samoa. It is one pretty palm. It has large, flat leaves with white tomentum on the leaf stems. The pictures here actually don't do it justice. You can see it gets quite tall, up to forty feet or more. In tropical environments it is a full sun species. I'd estimate cold hardiness at about 40 to 45 degrees F. This means that most of us will eventually lose this species in Southern California. But, don't be bummed out. There are plenty of other equally pretty Hawaiian species that we can grow. Some of the photos below are c/o TS at RPS, Flora of Singapore website and Missouri Botanical Garden website. |

ALOCASIA CAL-ODORA THE MINIATURE ELEPHANT EAR EASY TO GROW - TOLERATES COASTAL SUN NEVER OVER ABOUT THREE FEET TALL Customers often shy away from the regular Elephant Ear Alocasia because of it's potential size of up to eight feet with huge leaves. There is even one species that gets super tall and almost takes over the garden. But, what I'm showing you here (Alocasia Cal-Odora) is a true dwarf with plants that never get much above your knees. The leaves are a foot wide and color is green. They are an ideal plant where you want a low profile companion plant to cover the garden floor. This species can take full coastal sun or part day sun and filtered light in all areas. They do like and respond to water. We sell a ton of these but do have limited supplies of five and fifteen gallon plants. We often put them on sale for reduced prices. When people see how they perform they often come back for more. The last two photos shown plants of this species at our nursery. From time to time we do put this species on special. Also, we offer super unusual and different types of Alocasia, so if you are a tropical plant freak, come and see us. |

ARCHONTOPHOENIX "TERACARPA"
THE BEST KING PALM EVER!
SO, WHAT IS IT?
ARE THEY EVER ON SALE?
YES, 10 DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE - SINGLES OR
MULTIPLES
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 along the coast
It has a blueish crown shaft
It has a super thick trunk

DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZED SEEDLINGS
Yes, this species of Fishtail is super fast growing. And, it's not
unusual for one to get above 70 feet tall. Some people love the
grandeur of these palms. And, for some, they want it "right now".
Well, this is an opportunity to satisfy that need. Planted out,
once established, this is a super fast growing palm.
It would not be unusual to go from a seedling to a height of 30
feet in six or seven years.
This species is native to northern Thailand and surrounding countries.
The trunk is about 16 inches or so thick and light tan in color.
The leaves are compound – bipinnate.
This means the main stem branches off into secondary leaf stems.
Leaflets are jagged at their ends.
Also, this is a monoecious palm that dies about three years after
flowering It wants full coastal
sun. It is taller than
Caryota gigas and has shorter leaves and a thinner trunk.
We’re putting young two-leaf seedlings on sale.
Easy to mail order.

ENCEPHALARTOS EUGENE-MARAISII
NATIVE TO SOUTH AFRICA – EXTREMELY RARE
This desirable species of Encephalartos comes from the Transvaal
region of the northern Republic of South Africa. This area is also
home to other sought-after species like E. dolomiticus, dolomiticus, and nubimontanus.
\Encephalartos eugene-maraisii is a medium to large species
with trunk height up to almost ten feet. It will sucker from the
base. Leaf color is blue or blue-green. The leaves are
sharply keeled giving a "V-shape" in cross section. Leaf length is
two to five feet. Leaflets are 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide and have a
sharp terminal tip. Encephalartos middleburgensis is a closely
related species and was originally felt to be a subspecies of eugene-maraisii. This
is a full sun cycad. In the wild it commonly sees freezing
temperatures. In culture it is know to tolerate mid to low 20's F.
We are currently putting our band sized plants on sale for ten days.

CYCAS PETRAEA
REGULAR PRICE THIS ACTUAL PLANT $2100
SUPER RARE GREEN CYCAD FROM THAILAND
TWENTY YEAR OLD SPECIMEN WITH VASE SHAPED TRUNK
AS FAR AS WE KNOW, A SPECIMEN LIKE THIS AVAILABLE NOWHERE ELSE
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS ACTUAL CYCAD
This is an unusual Cycas species
from colder parts of northern Thailand. In locality, freezes are
experienced and it's reported this species will even tolerate snow.
Cycas petraea can
get trunks over 15 feet tall in dozens of decades. More typically,
domestic plant trunks are under three feet tall. Leaves are flat
and green and about four to six feet long. Crowns consist of
dozens of leaves. The bases of the trunks have a peculiar swelling
to them as seen here. They can form a classical "water vase trunk"
which is fat and swollen and then gets thinner above. Culturally,
this species likes nice draining soil, temperatures above a freeze and
part day or filtered sun. As an interior cycad, this would be one
to try. This is probably one of the coolest Cycas species
around.
The plant
on special is in a 7 gallon pot and is about 20 years old from seed.
The caudex has the classic “vase” shape, is 9 inches wide at the
base and 11 to 12 inches tall.
As you can see it’s holding a nice set of softer green leaves.
We’re putting this plant on a Ten Day Special.
This is an old, near impossible species to find, especially with
this size & age. It can be
mail ordered.

MUSA MEKONG GIANT TALLER, EDIBLE & FRUITING BANANA WITH COLD HARDINESS TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE GALLON PLANTS This fruiting banana is from China and gets quite tall, especially if grown in a tropical environment. But, in this locality it is typically about 15 feet tall. It has broad green leaves and a six inch thick stem. It does sucker forming a clump of plants. It produces edible yellow fruit. It also is known to be somewhat cold hardy. Although it will freeze in weather below 32 degrees, often plants come back when it's warmer. I've read that folks in zones 6 & 7 are growing this species. This species wants full sun. REGULAR PRICE ONE GALLON $45 TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE GALLON $35 |

BRAZILIAN RED CLOAK
MEDIUM SIZED BUSH / TREE
WITH PROMINENT RED BLOSSOMS
The Brazilian Red Cloak is super rare and hard to find. This is
probably because most propagation is by cuttings only. And, you
have to have a mother plant to do this. We obtained two mother
plants about eight years ago and have established them here in
Encinitas. We began propagating about a year or two ago.
This is considered a "bush" but can reach heights of eight feet or more.
It blooms red when the weather is more cool - November to April.
The terminal leaves turn red and hide the small white blossoms within
(thus the "cloak" in the name). The red colored photos are of our
mother plants. These can be mail ordered but you have to be in at
least a 9A environment to grow it. Cold tolerance is down to about
a freeze. We only have a few for sale. |

GASTROCOCOS CRISPA AKA ACROCOMIA 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 of Gastrococos crispa. But, taxonomists have to make a living. You can pretty much be guaranteed they'll change 25% of the names you know and lover over the next twenty-five years. They always have their reasons for this. |

CERATOZAMIA LATIFOLIA
MEDIUM SIZED MEXICAN CYCAD
NEWLY EMERGENT GOLD/BROWN TO RED LEAVES
SOMETIMES SUPER GOLD COLORED
AVAILABLE AT THE NURSERY IN VARIOUS SIZES
This desirable and lush appearing cycad is
native to Southern Mexico in the states of Queretaro,
Hidalgo and San Luis Potosi. There it lives among oaks on
steep and rugged cliffs. It is medium sized mature with
trunks under 18 inches and leaves that are four to six feet
long. Leaf stems are armed with short spines as shown.
The most striking thing about this cycad is that it typically
has colored emergent new leaves. The color lasts for
several weeks. This color is variable from a bronze-red to
gold to sometimes a purple-red. Over time these leaves
convert to a typical green leaf as shown in the last photo.
The first six photos show a 15g plant at the nursery. I
have previously shown photos of Nursery plants with these
striking newly emerging leaf colors. With the 8th photo
below I am also showing the gold colored crown of leaves of a
mature, coning sized specimen in a box. This species likes
filtered light and is cold hardy to at least 20 degrees F.
I can ship or deliver almost any size of this species within the
U.S.
MULE PALM
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 squat 25g plants. They are ten to twelve feet
tall in thier pots. They are ready for planting but we only have a
few of them left. |

PRITCHARDIA SPECIES
UNKNOWN SPECIES FROM PRIVATE COLLECTION
Pritchardia are single trunk fan palms. They grow in
Hawaii and some tropical islands, but we only grow the Hawaiian species
as they grow much better in Southern California. We offer about 15
species. Most species are short to medium mature heights but there
are a few that get up to fifty feet or more. Leaves are green with
some having dusty colors on the bottom of the leaves. Trunk widths
are thin to medium in size. The Pritchardia shown here
are representative of most of the 15 gallon that we have.
They are super large and the size of a typical 25 gallon plant.
Note the formed trunk at the base and overall size. A
representative 15g (not the largest of the group for sure) is shown in
the first two rows of photos. A 25 gallon is shown in the third

UNDERSTORY
PINNATE SUCKERING PALM
Taxonomically, this
species of Chamaedorea is an accepted species. When I got
started in palms about 44 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 last year. I haven't this species for
sale for at least 20 years. No one has them. We're offering
them in a small size and have very few available. |

Of the Shaving Brush Palm family, this is the
hardest one to find. And, many think it's the prettiest and most
desirable species. Some consider it to be a variety of R.
baueri. We like to consider it a species. Native to Raoul
Island, an island well off the eastern side of New Zealand, this species
has a medium sized trunk and reaches a height of twenty five feet.
The crown shaft is gorgeous but not as swollen as R.
sapida. I have some customers who report the crown shaft being a
purple color. On younger plants, the leaf stems are red colored as
shown here. Cold tolerance is the low 20's F. It will take
coastal sun or consider morning sun or strong filtered light inland.

TILLANDSIA

SPECIES WITH VIOLET BLUE FLOWERS
CLUSTERS IN BLOSSOM IN SPRING - SUMMER
A TYPE OF AIR PLANT - EASY TO GROW - BLOSSOMS IN FALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL TWO SIZES OF CLUSTERS
As I've mentioned before, I'm not a Tillandsia
expert. But, I could not pass when a private collector offered me
multiple clumps of a blue-gray Tillandsia mllemontii 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
have two sizes available.
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. This species
is rare to find. These would be easy to mail order. We have
small to medium clusters as well as large clusters on sale. The
larger clusters contain 15 to 20 plants.
Note
that, when you buy Tillandsia on line, you ususally get one
dinky plant, not huge clusters 15 years old like shown here.

SYAGRUS PICROPHYLLA
HYBRID
SUPER RARE SYAGRUS HYBRID
A SHORTER ALTERNATIVE TO THE QUEEN PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON SIZE
I have only two of these extremely rare hybrids of Syagrus
picrophylla. The seeds were produced by the same hybridizer that
created the Coconut Queen Palm. I do not know what they are
hybridized with and probably can't find out. The hybridizer is in
his mid eighties and a bit forgetful. Plants are in 25 gallon
containers, have been outdoor grown in sun. They should prove to
be a very interesting hybrid palm. They are twelve feet tall and
too tall for typical shipping or mail order. The last photo is of
the pure Syagrus picrophylla by G.M from PACSOA.

BISMARCKIA NOBILIS
A DEFINITE STATEMENT PALM
For several decades we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from
Madagascar. These are the blue form. This palm species loves
sun, heat and is cold hardy to the low 20’s F. It doesn’t like the
grower to fool with or cut its roots. These cannot be transplanted once
established in the garden. They get a husky trunk and probably about 40
feet tall in many decades. This is a very attractive palm and should be
given room in the garden to show it off. Many people in desert
locations have found they can grow it. Shown below are our 15
gallon sized plants that we’re putting on special.
They are sun acclimated and ready to plant.

A HAWAIIAN LOULU FAN PALM
WHITE TOMENTUM ON LEAF STEMS AND INNER CROWN
TEN DAY SPECIAL THREE GALLON SIZE
If you like fan palms, then you have to try some Pritchardia palms.
There are about 25 species of Pritchardia.
All the best ones come from the Hawaiian Islands. The species from
the South Pacific are to be avoided as they don't do well here.
This species is from Hawaii and reaches a medium height of 25 feet.
Leaves are green. They have white tomentum (hairs) on the leaf
stem and trunk. I’d estimate the trunk diameter at about eight
inches by my experience. It
becomes clean as old leaf bases fall off.
Growth rate is medium. This is a very attractive palm.
I have one in my garden that gets partial sun and is at least 20 feet
tall. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. Mail order
easy.

KENTIOPSIS OLIVIFORMIS
A GREAT CROWN SHAFTED PALM
IDEAL FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
MEDIUM MATURE HEIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
I've discussed this great New Caledonian species
before because it is such a good species for those of us in Southern
California. It comes from high elevation in its native New
Caledonia habitat, is a good growing palm and can tolerate full sun
easily along the coastal strip. Its cold hardiness is down to
about 23 degrees, better than the King Palm or Kentia Palm. It has
an average trunk diameter of eight to ten inches and a mature height of
usually about thirty feet. It can also be grown in part day sun or
strong filtered light. Shown here is the 5 gallon size we’re
putting on special
Growth rate on this species is good.
This species is highly recommended.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE $125
COPERNICIA HOSPITA
This difficult to find and beautiful blue fan palm is native to Cuba.
Mature trees carry a large number of blue, circular and pleated and flat
leaves. The trunk holds on to old leaf bases for a while but
eventually is smooth with about a 12 inch diameter. Many feel that
this, along with other Copernicia, are some of the most beautiful
of all fan palms. Expect a mature height of 20 to 25 feet.
It wants full sun and is cold tolerant to at least a freeze. We're
putting our one gallon plants on special. Their age is approaching
3 years. I’d highly recommend getting one as they are near impossible
to find. Easy to mail order.

SUPER RARE MADAGASCAR PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
Discovered by John Dransfield and named after a U.K. executive of
Macdonald's Hamburgers (who funded the expedition to Madagascar), this
single trunk palm is new to the market, super rare and quite attractive.
It has orange-brown leaf bases at the point of trunk attachment, plumose
leaves and gets to a height of about 25 to 30 feet. It is single
trunked with a medium thickness and prominent rings. It takes full
sun in coastal areas and, once established, is a good growing palm.
Shown here are our band sized seedlings. On occasion we have
larger sizes for sale. These are easy to ship. Growers tell
us that this species takes temperatures into the mid-20's F. I
know of several enthusiasts who live in cool areas and now have fruiting
specimens of this species. It is an excellent grower.

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 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.

TALL INTERIOR QUALITY KENTIA PALMS HOWEA FORSTERIANA ELEGANT, GREEN LEAVES, THINNER TRUNKS TEN DAY SPECIAL TALL SQUAT 7 OR 15G SIZE Our major focus with the Howea forsteriana has been historically dealing with their usage in landscape. But, this species - The Kentia Palm - is also an excellent house plant. We get calls about obtaining them for hotel lobbies, restaurants, and upscale business offices. Inside the home or facility they tolerate adequate light but don't demand being in front of a window. Leaves are elegant, dark green and have a gentle arch. Trunks are thin. The squat 15g are interior quality with stretched upward leaves. This is what interior designers seek. These are too tall for mail order. They are in squat 15g pots or 7 gallon pots and 8 to 10 feet tall in their pots. Almost all are multiples with two to three plants per pot. Sorry, but I don't have any good photos of this palm in an interior application. TEN DAY SPECIAL INTERIOR QUALITY SQUAT 7 & 15G $375 |

PHOENIX ROEBELENII
NATURALLY A SINGLE TRUNK PALM 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.
In the garden, some feel they are more attractive than the triples and
really show off their petite size and soft appearance.
Limited numbers available.
BTW, we do have 15 gallon triples that are cheaper than the
singles but are not as old or tall.
REGULAR PRICE OF OLDER 15 GALLON SINGLES $250 Shipping for mail order would be expensive because of the plant size. |

JUBAEA CHILENSIS
FATTEST TRUNK OF ANY PALM
STATELY AND MAGNIFICENT SPECIES
TEN DAY SPECIAL GOOD SIZED 15G
I'm down to the last few of the large 15g that
we're offering for sale on this, the Chilean Wine Palm. These
plants are approaching ten years old from seed! As most know, they
are unbearably slow to grow and getting a nice plant as shown in the
first four photos seems to take forever. Try it yourself some day
from seed. You'll know why it takes a decade to produce a nice
sized Jubaea. Interestingly enough, we ship a lot of this
sized Chilean Wine Palms to people in colder states like Texas and South
Carolina. This size are not the biggest 15g we offer, but fairly
old and very nice. Typical basal trunk diameter is four to six
inches on this batch. I do have massive 15g that are 10 inches in
diameter, but they cost more. This size is an affordable size for
people who want to save a lot of years of growing time.
Ultimate height can reach at least forty feet
(in several decades) and trunk diameter up to four feet. The leaf
stems are unarmed. Seeds are large and globular as shown here.
Cold hardiness in into the mid teens F. It's a sun species, even
in the desert.
REGULAR PRICE 15G AS SHOWN $385
TEN DAY SPECIAL PRICE 15 GALLON $300
But, mention this Special to get your discount.
Note that we have limited numbers but should be able to get more if
needed. Mail order, in the pot with soil, totally possible but
it'll be a big and heavy box to ship.
