HOWEA
FORSTERIANA
THE KENTIA PALM
EXOTIC & TROPICAL - GREAT PALM FOR SO CAL
TEN DAY SPECIAL SINGLES - NICE 24 INCH BOX PLANTS
This popular single trunk palm species is native to Lord Howe Island.
Enthusiast have found that this is a superb species for our locality,
either in full sun along the coast or filtered light far inland.
It has a cold tolerance of about 24 to 25 degrees F. It is a slow
growing species. Below I'm showing you some nice 24 inch box
singles. They are about twelve years old or more. These have
been outdoor grown in sun. Be aware this species is often sold as
a "multiple" with several in the same pot. But, as a single, they
grow faster and some feel appear more beautiful. A big difference
when you grow them in the sun is that the leaflet hang downwards
(droopy). Photos show this below.
This species also does great indoors and is one of the most popular
interior palms around. There are seven photos of our nursery
plants. If you prefer, we also have similar plants in 25 gallon
containers. These are ready to be planted in the garden. We
also have smaller plants for sale in one, five, and 15 gallon sizes.

BECCARIOPHOENIX MADAGASCARENSIS
MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE MADAGASCAR PALM
SINGLE TRUNK - GREEN LEAVES
VERY SLOW GROWING SPECIES
SALE ON 20 GALLON PLANTS
It took over a decade for taxonomists to figure out how many species of Beccariophoenix there
were in Madagascar. Thirty years ago there were felt to be two.
They were distinguished by the presence or absence of "windows" in the
juvenile leaves and for quite a while were referred to as "windows" and
"no-windows" species by collectors. A third species was
subsequently found in the High Plateau area of Madagascar. This
newer species has been named Beccariophoenix alfredii.
Beccariophoenix madagascarensis is
the original "no windows" species and is a single trunk green palm that
gets to a height of about 30 feet. It has leaves that are green,
upright and about ten feet long. A full crown has about a a dozen
such leaves. There is no crown shaft and the trunk is about 16
inches in width. Although not overly tall, the crown of leaves is
full. It wants full sun and has a cold tolerance in the 25 to 28
degree F. range. I know of multiple specimens here in the San
Diego area. It has been quite difficult nowadays to find with the
lack of importation of Madagascar seeds into the U.S.
We have a limited number of 20 gallon
plants. We're putting them on sale.

This species of palm is native to Madagascar.There are both single trunk and suckering varieties.Shown here is what should be the single trunk form.It has a thicker trunk that the suckering form.It can reach heights of over thirty feet. It has leaves
arranged in three ranks - "tristichous". Trunk diameter is

VERY LIMITED SUPPLY AVAILABLE
TEN DAY SPECIAL FEW REMAINING 5 GALLON SIZE
This easy to grow Mexican fan palm hardly ever
gets over five feet tall. In the sun, it gets super blue, suckers
and doesn't have a large footprint in the garden. Surprisingly,
when young, plants are green in color. But, outdoors in the sun, I
guarantee that they'll turn blue. Leaves are small compared to
other Braheas. It is rare and, unfortunately, very slow
growing. I am showing here our 5 gallon plants which are about 5-6
years old. They are quite old for their containers. This
species will take sun in all areas and does not like shade. It
does well in desert areas. Cold tolerance is about 17 to 18
degrees. We're offering both sizes on a ten day special.
And, for this slow growing species, they are oversized in their pots.
After a little acclimation, put them right into your garden!

such a good species for those of us in Southern California. It
comes from high elevation in its native 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.
The first six photos show our band size that we're putting on special.

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII
BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD FOR SUN
GOOD OFFERING OF 15 GALLON PLANTS
CAUDEXES 3.5 TO 6 INCHES TEN DAY
SPECIAL THESE 15 GALLON E.
LEHMANNII
This is a popular blue cycad from the Eastern Cape area of South Africa.
I say “popular” because some people don't like spines and prickles.
The leaflets of this species are narrow with only a point at the end.
They are nothing as gnarly as E. horridus. The leaves and crown
are very neat and uniform. The nearest species to this one is Encephalartos
princeps. Trunks of E. lehmannii can get to five feet, but
one with two to three feet of trunk is very old. Leaves average
about four feet long and are strongly curled. Sometimes they'll
almost do a 180 or more degree re-curve. Leaf color is intensely
blue like E. horridus. But, you'll only see this color with
full, hot sun. In shade or inside a greenhouse they are often
green. Cold hardiness is about 21 to 22 degrees F. In the
desert only give it a few hours sun. Next to Encephalartos
horridus, this is the second most popular cycad we grow. Shown
below is an assortment of 15 gallon plants of this species with caudexes
of 3 to 5-6 inches. We have about a half dozen of them. All
are sun ready. I am showing some of these 15g below.
REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON THIS SPECIES $150 PER INCH CAUDEX DIAMETER
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SPECIES $125 PER INCH CAUDEX DIAMETER.
This size can possibly be mail ordered. This caudex size price
applies to plants that do not have vertical trunk height.
ENCEPHALARTOS ARENARIUS - BLUE
VARIETY RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE - LIKES COASTAL SUN STUNNING BLUE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15 GALLON PLANT
Encephalartos arenarius is
from the coastal dunes and forest close to Alexandria in the Eastern
Cape. This species is small to medium in mature size. Leaf
length can range from one to two meters (i.e. three to six feet
approximately) depending on cultivar and exposure to sun. Like
many of the Encephalartos from the Eastern Cape, this species is
variable in color, size and leaf type. E. arenarius can range in
color from a dull green to a powdery white color (bearing a likeness to E.
horridus).
The plant we are putting on special is the blue variety.This plant is in sun, in a 15g pot and has a caudex of 5 inches.It’s a very stunning blue.To get this color they will want full sun or an ample amount of
sun. It prefers a well draining soil. Speed of growth of this
cycad is good. I’m also showing a garden plant and several
larger nursery plants.

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

CYCAS GUIZHOUENSIS
RARE SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED CHINESE CYCAD
GREEN UPRIGHT LEAVES TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE ONE GALLON PLANTS
This small to medium sized exotic cycad is from southwestern China.
Only in the past 20 years has this species been available in the
U.S. It has green upright leaves and can develop a trunk about three
feet tall. Leaves are green and leaflets narrow and shiny. Sometimes
you’ll see the leaflets twisted on their axis. It comes from elevations
of 1000 to 1500 feet or more and has potential to have reasonable cold
hardiness, at least into the mid and possibly low 20’s F. The crown
width is about eight feet across with leaf lengths of three to five
feet. At the nursery it seems to grow quite well. We’re
putting nice one gallon plants on special. Caudexes are about 2 inches.The eighth photo, by George Yao at PACSOA, shows a plant in full
sun although growers may get away with part day sun as well.

SPECIMEN SIZE KENTIA PALMS HOWEA FORSTERIANA
FROM FIVE TO FIFTEEN FEET OF TRUNK
SINGLES AND MULTIPLES SALE PRICE
THESE SPECIMEN KENTIA PALMS
For several decades we've worked with an
associate grower who offers old specimen Kentia Palms. Starting in the
late 1980's, these were field grown here in Encinitas, CA. Over time,
many have been dug and put into boxes. Usually this is into 36 inch box
sizes - rarely into 24 inch boxes. Some are still in the growing
fields. Even if dug from the grower's and moved to your garden for
immediate planting, most do just fine. And, these have been sun grown
only getting shade from adjacent Kentias.
Kentia palms dig quite easily. The ones shown
in boxes below were typically dug three to four years ago. Several
hundred trees are available. All need heavy equipment to lift and
handle - and a flatbed truck for delivery (at least 25 feet long).
Delivery can be arranged as needed. Call or email us for more
information. Random photos below were taken recently of plants
available. Of note, most remaining are multiples with a few tall
singles.

EASILY TOLERATES TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW
20'S F. IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND! TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 25 GALLON
PLANTS
This morning I'm showing you a hard to find suckering palm from northern
India, Tibet and surrounding areas. Quite remarkably, its native
habitat is at elevations of 5000 to 7500 feet. As you'd suspect,
it tolerates temperatures way below freezing, probably into the upper
teens F. It's felt to be the most cold hardy of the
genus Arenga. It's
not a small Arenga. It
can get up to 20 feet with trunks about 8 inches (mature) in diameter.
Like other species of the genus, the trunks are hairy and a bit shaggy.
Leaves are large and silver colored on their underside. It is a
part day sun or filtered light species.Shown here is a 25 gallon nursery plant which is the size we’re

BISMARCKIA NOBILIS
BLUE SINGLE TRUNK FAN PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
A DEFINITE STATEMENT PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 24 INCH BOX SIZE
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. In Southern CA, these cannot be
transplanted once established in the garden. They get a husky trunk and
probably about 40 feet tall in many decades. This is a very attractive
palm and should be given room in the garden to show it off. Many
people in desert locations have found they can grow it. Shown
below is our 24 inch box size that we have on special. These have
seen a freeze every winter for quite a few years. This is a
good size for those who want to start with a bigger plant.

BISMARCKIA SPECIES
MAYOTTE ISLAND
THIS SPECIES HAS GREEN LEAVES – NOT BLUE!
VERY ATTRACTIVE FAN PALM WITH LARGE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZED PLANTS
One of the favorite characteristics of Bismarckiais the
blue color to the leaves. But, there is a green variety on Mayotte
Island northwest of the main Island of Madagascar. The
Bismarckia there are green with huge fan leave up to ten feet
across. Mature heights can reach 60 feet in the wild. This
rare green Bismarckia is known as the "Mayotte Island" form.
There is very little published about it. 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. One last photo below shows the stature
of this palm with its large green leaves. On these green Bismarckias, when juvenile 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.
The plants on special are over ten years old and absolutely huge
for their pots. It is extremely difficult to find
this type of Bismarckia.

PRESTOEA MONTANA AKA PRESTOEA ACUMINATA VAR. MONTANA
RARE PINNATE PALM FROM PUERTO RICO TEN
DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
Prestoea is
a genus that is very closely related to another palm genus, Euterpe. It
is found in the Caribbean, Central and South America. Essentially
all Euterpe are crown shafted palms. Many of the Prestoea are not.
There are also distinctions between the flowers of these two genera.
Also, many of the Prestoea are
suckering. But, there is one that is single trunk. This is Prestoea
montana, native
to mountainous areas of Puerto Rico. I've always known of this
species as not having a crown shaft. But, I've seen photos
(including ones from native habitats) where a crown shaft is seen.
The hallmarks of this species are its wide
and very shiny green leaves, its somewhat slender trunk and its overall
beautiful appearance. Plant heights can reach forty feet or more.
This species should be grown in part day sun or filtered light. It
likes rich soil and ample moisture. I'd estimate its cold
tolerance is down to about a freeze or a bit less. It is not a
species for a beginner to try. We're putting the 15g plants on
special. Note that this species has historically been known as "Prestoea
montana" but
in more recent years has been considered a variety of P.
acuminata. REGULAR PRICE 15G $225 TEN DAY

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

VEITCHIA MERRILLII HYBRID POTENTIAL TO GROW SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE GROWN HERE
VERY EXCITING – NOT PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE
ONLY A FEW PLANTS LEFT THIS CROSS
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 5 GALLON SIZE
There is an interesting story behind the plants I'm showing you here.
About four years ago, we got some seeds from a botanical garden that
were labeled as Veitchia merrillii (aka Adonidia merrillii).
This palm resembles a miniature Royal Palm, so it is a popular choice by
enthusiasts who see it in tropical areas. Rarely does it get over
twenty feet tall and many people like this smaller size. But,
native to the Philippines, you might expect it'd be too tropical and
cold sensitive to grow here. Well, that is the case and I don't
know of one mature tree in Southern California.
The seeds we got were thought to be pure Veitchia merrillii. The
seeds looked to be the right size for merrillii - the anticipated
small size as you see with this species. Seeds of other Veitchia species
are much larger. Of the fifty or so seeds that germinated, about
half died off quickly in our greenhouses the first winter. We
figured - that makes sense - cold sensitive. But, to our surprise,
the other half grew quite well. As they got bigger, it was
apparent that they looked nothing like a true species Veitchia
merrillii we have grown in the past. The prominent speckling
and dark color to the leaf stems was not expected - merrillii is
plain green usually. And, there is a diversity of appearance of
the various plants we were now growing.
We figure these are a hybrid of a Veitchia merrillii crossed with
something else. Most likely it's with another species of Veitchia that
are more cold tolerant. This is to our customer's benefit as this
means perhaps they can grow these and end up with a smaller palm that
resembles V. merrillii. We have a limited number of these
plants left.They’ve gotten

BRAHEA DULCIS
MEDIUM SIZED ATTRACTIVE FAN PALM
VARIOUS LEAF
COLORS - CAN TAKE SOME SHADE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This good looking fan palm comes from southern Mexico as well as various
countries in Central America. There is variability in this
species: Some plants are green, others blue. Some specimens get to
twenty feet, others remain shorter. And, some even sucker to make
multiple trunks. But, all are attractive. Over time, leaf
bases fall away to give a smooth trunk. We're offering our 5
gallon size on these at a good discount. These plants are nicely
sized and can be shipped.
This species likes part sun or full sun along the coast and is cold
hardy to about 20 degrees F.
In far inland areas I’d recommend some morning or late day sun.

LARGE DIVIDED AND FLAT TROPICAL LEAF
THIN TRUNK, EXOTIC APPEARANCE
SOME DEGREE OF COLD HARDINESS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This is a tall, thin trunked tropical fan palm
that is native to regions from northeastern India down through the Malay
Peninsula. It is known for its green divided flat leaves that can be
almost six feet in width and have deeply divided segments that go all
the way to the leaf stem. Thus, from below, you see a full flat leaf
that is divided into segments. Tree height can be up to 30 feet. The
trunk is thin, about 4 inches in diameter. It is a filtered light plant
that could works its way into more sun. Cold tolerance is about 30
degrees F. or a bit lower.
We recently acquired some huge one gallon plants
that needed a late winter repotting into 5 gallon containers. We're
putting these on special. My thanks to Paul Craft for the 7th and 9th

CRYOSOPHILA STAURACANTHA SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED TROPICAL FAN PALM
SILVER UNDERSIDE TO THE LEAVES MODIFIED SPINES ON TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This single trunk fan palm is native to Southern Mexico and parts of
Central America. It can get up to a height of 25 feet but most garden
specimens are under 15 feet. Two things are quite noteworthy: First,
the undersides of the leaves are a silver-white. A picture below of a
nursery plant shows this. Secondly, the trunk is narrow and covered
with "modified" spines. They are not real sharp and are not true
spines. The dorsal side of the leaves is green. This palm likes strong
filtered light and right on the coast may take part day sun. Cold
tolerance is estimated to be in the high 20's F. Growth rate is
medium. The garden photo by Tobias Spanner shows a near mature tree.
You have to have an overhead crown of leaves to really see the silver
color.The last photo is a 15g

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

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

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

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

of nice 15g plants for sale. Brahea edulis is
a slow growing, shorter fan palm that is native to an island just off

Island.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 to
upper teens F. They are also reasonably drought tolerant.
Like other Brahea, large
specimens are very difficult to successfully transplant. Presently
we are offering very nice 15g plants. These can be shipped by UPS

This is a more tropical appearing species of Dioon and is
native to Central America in Nicaragua and Honduras. There it is

similar to the lush leaves of Dioon spinulosum but typically, on mature
plants, lack any spines on the leaflets. Trunks ten to be somewhat
narrow, usually under twelve inches. But, a mature plant in

attractive thing about this species are the super soft, wooly and yet
fragile new leaves as they emerge (last photo). One is so tempted
to feel them. Leaf color is green with a length of about six feet.
This is a super attractive plant for morning sun or

HIBISCUS MIDNIGHT RED BLOSSOM

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

years of growing time.

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA SUCKERING AND SINGLE
TRUNK MOUNTAIN FORM
BEST GROWING SPECIES OF THE GENUS SORT OF LIKE A SUCKERING KENTIA PALM
TEN TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
When one considers the species Laccospadix
australasica, he has to realize that there
are different forms depending on native habitats and localities.
There are also single trunk and suckering forms. The one for sale
here is the mountain form. I feel it's the best subspecies one can
purchase. It doesn't throw the new red leaf although
occasionally you see a bit of bronze in the new leaf. This variety
of the L. australasica is fairly
easy to grow in our area. I can’t predict if your plant will
sucker or not.The seeds
for these plants today came from a local flowering tree here in
Encinitas. This variety has thinner leaves that are dull green in
color, trunks about four to five inches thick and reaches a height of 12
feet. It sort of looks like a suckering Kentia Palm. I'd
recommend morning sun, strong filtered light or perhaps several hours of
daily sun. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F.

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

This species of exotic palm is from the

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

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

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.

stacking blue green leaves. The same is true with E. princeps
but the leaves are super blue but not stacking. I'd predict this cross
will end up being a good sized rather blue adult with medium size. It

FLOWERS & EDIBLE TROPICAL FRUIT TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON
PLANTS
The Passion Fruit Vine is native to Brazil.
It is fast growing, will climb almost anything and produces very large
and unusual purple and white flowers as shown here. These are
pollinated by bees, hummingbirds or bats. This results in about two
inch egg-shaped purple fruit that are quite seedy but have a unique
tropical flavor. The fruit is often squeezed to make a drink. Eating
the fruit off the tree, some will spit out the seeds while others just
swallow them. This vine wants sun, average water and can tolerate a
freeze easily. We're putting husky 5 gallon on special.

OUR NURSERY DISCOUNT
ON PURCHASES OR NURSERY CREDIT ON CONTAINERS
I'd 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. 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. We
are especially looking for larger pots, 5g and bigger. Our
nursery is plush with one gallon or smaller but
really appreciate citrus pots.
We also like bigger pots like 35 gallon or bigger.
So, don't give them to the garbage man for your local landfill.
Bring them to our nursery. The fourth photo below shows all
containers from a band to a 24 inch box, left to right.
And, if they are sitting around waiting to go in the trash, drop off you
used and soon to be discarded cardboard boxes. We load customer
purchases into them and thus they are recycled from a usage standpoint.
We also recycle old newspapers. Donating these means we purchase
less and this is conservational.
NO WEBSITE "SHOPPING CART" - WHY?
We don't have a shopping cart because
experience has taught us that 90% of customers have questions and need
personal help when ordering plants - So, we like to talk to customers. This way
customers don't order the wrong plants
for their locality and it gives us the chance to guide them on culture.

DESCRIPTION , PHOTOS, AVAILABILITY and REGULAR PRICES
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.

all the genera above there may be many more species within the same
genus that also grow well for us here. I apologize if I
haven't included your favorite species in this group, but this is meant
to be a brief introduction and I wanted to keep it simple. I have
utilized these species in a brief article summarizing Palms for Southern
California elsewhere at this website
PLANT
CONTAINER SIZES
For growers
here on the West Coast, there are black plastic containers that most of us use
on our plants. Surprisingly, there are differences between
the pots used
on the West Coast and East Coast of the U.S. Here we refer to most
containers by "gallon size" On the East Coast pots are referred to
by
"diameter in inches". So,
back East you might find a plant in a "14 inch pot". Here is might be
called a "15 gallon pot". If you visit our price
and availability catalog,
plants are shown by their pot size. I'm hoping that this Blog post this morning will help clarify
what individual pots look like.

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

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