COCONUT
QUEEN PALM
DESIRABLE SYAGRUS HYBRID ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE BOXED PLANTS
This interesting hybrid originated in Thailand by a grower and
propagator of rare palms. It is a cross between the common Queen
Palm and an unusual type of palm from the same genus, Syagrus
schizophylla.
The offspring have proven to be quite beautiful and have good cold
tolerance. These will be a medium to large palm. The trunk
will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size will be less.
The attached photos of mature plants show how pretty it is.Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the Queen
Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm.
This is a very rare hybrid to come across.
We’re putting huge 24 inch boxes on sale.They are about 12 feet tall in their box.This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a
cold hardiness estimated to be in the low 20's F.
REGULAR PRICE 24 INCH BOX $750
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $675
This is probably one of the last times we’ll offer this rare hybrid in
this large size for sale. We only have a few left.
CHAMAEDOREA RADICALIS
TRUE TRUNK-LESS, DWARF FORM
NEVER GETS OVER SIX FEET TALL
SHADE PALM - QUITE COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL MATURE 7 & 15 GALLON SIZE
Previously I discussed the trunking form of this species. What I'm
showing today is the true dwarf form that never forms a trunk and never
gets over six feet tall. It is native to Mexico. It grows in
filtered light but can tolerate some sun along the coast. Compared
to the trunking form, you'll note the leaflets are darker green and
wider. Blossoms often protrude above the leaves when it's in
flower. Cold hardiness is the upper teens F. It grows great
in cooler areas like the SF Bay area. We have a few 15g which
we're putting on sale.
These are mature, flowering palms.

LIKES SUN & HEAT - NOT TOO TALL TEN DAY
SPECIAL SQUAT 15G SIZE
The Foxtail Palm, Wodyetia
bifuracata, is native to Queensland,
Australia and is a single trunk palm. In Southern CA it gets to about
twenty-two to twenty-five feet height, has fluffy plumose leaves, is
crown shafted as shown below and is single trunk. It loves heat and
sun. The trunk is thin, ringed and has a silver-green crown shaft.
It’s very attractive. It is best grown in full sun in most areas and
has a cold tolerance of about 22 degrees F. Right on the oceanfront you
may see brown tipping of the leaflets. People like this palm because it
doesn’t get too tall and is easy to care for. We have limited numbers
of this size available. They are about six to seven feet tall in their
pots.

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

ARCHONTOPHOENIX MAXIMA LARGEST OF THE KING PALMS
GREEN LEAVES – STATELY TRUNK AND CROWN TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
By popular
demand I have put this great palm on special. This is the largest
of the King Palm family. It got its name "maxima" by the flower
size, but most have found it to be an aggressive grower, have a larger
trunk and get taller than the other species of King Palms. It does
have silver on the underside of the leaves. The crown shaft is
sort of a yellow, sometimes blue color. It is a quick growing
pinnate palm native to Australia. It's rare to see them available
and also hard to find good photos of this species. The plants I'm
putting on special are the 5 gallon size, mostly singles. It tolerates
full coastal sun and is cold hardy into the mid-twenties F. Another
interesting thing is that sometimes they’ll throw a new red leaf as
shown in one photo below.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $100
Of note, our Archontophoenix "teracarpa" is probably a larger
King Palm than A. maxima but still escapes exact species
identification. It does not have silver undersides to the leaflets and
has a blue crown shaft. It is routinely discussed elsewhere at this
Blog. The habitat photo is by Luke Nancarrow AU.
CHAMAEDOREA OREOPHILA
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM
TOLERATES SOME SUN - FAIRLY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL FIVE GALLON PLANTS
This is a great palm for Southern CA and other areas that may see winter
colds into the mid-twenties F. It is native to southwestern Mexico
at high elevations to 4500 feet. It tolerates bright filtered
light or, along the coast, some degree of sun. It is single
trunked with a modified crown shaft and somewhat short green leaves.
It resembles a Chamaedorea elegans on steroids - taller, thicker
trunk and longer leaves. Trunks are about an inch thick and
ringed. In filtered light trunks remain green. Mature height
is about ten feet. This is an extremely difficult species to find.

RHAPIS MULTIFIDA
A RARE TYPE OF LADY PALM
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
special.

TEN DAY SPECIAL SINGLE 5 GALLON SIZE
For anyone who's looked for this species lately, you realize it's in
very short supply and essentially unavailable in larger sizes.
This is because of a several year shortage of seeds. We are
pleased to presently put nice single stem 5 gallon plants on special.Plant heights are about 4 feet in the pot. This species
gets up to about 14 feet height with a green, ringed trunk about 1.5
inches in diameter. The leaves are plumose or fluffy. They
are quick growing and perfect for narrow planter areas. It will
take full coastal sun. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.
It can also be used as a houseplant in a bright area. These plants
in this size pot are quite shippable.We also have multiple (several in one pot) if desired at the same

BUTIA PARAGUAYENSIS
BLUE-GREEN BUTIA FROM SOUTH AMERICA
ARCHING LEAVES – MEDIUM HEIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species is interesting because, in the wild, it is known as a dwarf
species that forms minimal trunk. But, when it is grown
domestically, it forms a trunk about the size of Butia capitata.
It, as you'd guess, comes from Paraguay, with habitat 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. It is a full sun plant with cold hardiness into the teens
F. We haven’t had them available for a few years. We are now offering
5 gallon plants on sale that are about 4 years old.Culture includes full sun and good draining soil. Cold
hardiness is into the teens F. I am also showing a photo of a 15g

KENTIOPSIS PYRIFORMIS SUPER RARE SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM
NATIVE TO NEW CALEDONIA
THIN TRUNK - VERY ELEGANT TEN DAY SPECIAL VERY NICE BAND SIZE PLANTS
This is a single trunk,
crown shafted pinnate palm native to New Caledonia. Many feel it's
the prettiest species of this genus. It gets to a height of about
40 feet or more and has a thin trunk. Leaves are upright, green
and arched. They are keeled and green in color. The crown
shaft is a copper color, covered with a white wax. It can be grown
in some sun, depending on where you live. It's probably best to
start it in bright filtered light and let it work its way into overhead
sun. Growth rate is good, comparable or faster than K.
oliviformis. Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze.
This is an extremely difficult species
to find for sale nowadays. I only have an excellent selection of
large band sized plants. This is an extremely rare species and we
rarely have them for sale.

CARYOTA URENS

FAST GROWING - SUPER TALL

BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS Caryota urens is a tall single trunk monocarpic palm
species native to Asia.It is fast growing and can get to a
height of 70 feet. It is definitely a canopy-forming palm species.Leaves a green and leaflets are
premorse (jagged at their ends).Some people love the grandeur of
these palms. Trunks are tan, ringed and about 16 inches diameter
on average.It will get taller and more quickly
get there than almost any other palm in your garden.They want full sun and, especially if
inland, plenty of water. Because they are monocarpic (flower and
then die), one needs a plant that is near death to get seeds.This occurs rarely.We were able to germinate seeds from
such a plant.I’ve not had seedlings for six to
eight years.They are on their first leaf and can
be mail ordered within the U.S. easily.

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 three 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 presently and
these won't be ready until next summer.

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

DICKSONIA ANTARCTICA THE TASMANIAN TREE FERN

SPECIAL NICE 5G SIZE
This typically single trunk tree fern is native to Southeastern
Australia and Tasmania. It is much slower growing than the
Australian Tree Fern above and has a mature height typically of 8 to 10
feet although they can get even taller. Trunks are a similar
diameter to the Australian Tree Fern. Of note, apparently the
lower trunk is filled with old, decaying trunk material and new roots
grow through this material to get water and nutrition. Cuttings of
the top of the trunk can be re-established and root out. This
plant likes a bit of sun or filtered light and also loves water.
Cold tolerance is 25 degrees F. or lower. The 5g on sale here are

Diego show potential height. I have several with twenty-five feet

fairly well. Trunks can get up to twelve inches thick although
most are more thin. This species is a bigger alternative to the
Tasmanian Tree Fern and has a thicker trunk and longer leaves. It
tolerates coastal sun or part day sun. It is cold hardy into the
upper twenties or lower.
It’s fairly fast growing and one just needs to keep up on the water.If it goes downhill it’s almost always lack of water.Otherwise it’s quite easy to grow.

The Red Banana is an ideal landscape item for color and

more or less. Basal diameter at maturity is 12 to 16 inches.
Be aware they are fast growing but only last five or six years before
flowering and dying. But, if you replace the plant, they quickly
offer a good sized plant to replace the last one. They do not bear
fruit, like full sun and are cold tolerant down to about a freeze. The

attractive and typically very prominent. Otherwise, you would
mistake the two. They are fast growing and get to a mature height

to 6 inches thick. The leaves are about six feet long and arch at their

upright leaves compared to this species. Another important difference
between these two is that the leaves of C. elegans are keeled
whereas the leaves of nucele are more flat. This species can take
full sun right on the coast but most give it part day sun, especially in

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

not too large crown of leaves that are green in color. Sometimes
they'll be blue-green. Overall height can get over fifty feet but
it’s more common to see them shorter. Old leaf bases can be
adherent to the trunk as a petticoat as shown in a photo
below. Economically, the leaves of this species produce a wax that
makes carnauba wax. The latter is marketed for various usages
including car and shoe wax. This palm wants heat and sun and is
cold hardy to at least the lower 20's F. We are offering our 5g
plants on sale.

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

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.

This is a species of Elephant Ear Alocasia. Some feel it comes
from the island of New Guinea but others feel that it is a hybrid of
unknown origin. The reason I mention it is because it is known to
be quite cold hardy, perhaps even adaptable to growing zone 7B. It
is a small plant, typically under 3 feet. The leaves are smaller
than many other Elephant Ear Plants. The dorsal side of the leaves are
green (sometimes black-green) while the underside is purple-black.
It prefers to stay dry in the winter when cold and likes filtered light.
It is a nice companion plant for any garden. Cold tolerance is

It does have silver on the underside of the leaves. The crown
shaft is sort of a yellow, sometimes blue color. It is a quick

RED BASE FORM – “RED STEM”
IDEAL SUCKERING MADAGASCAR PALM TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE SUCKERING 7 GALLON PLANTS
Over the years and having grown between fifty and one hundred different
species of Dypsis, I
can say that Dypsis baronii is
one of the best species of Dypsis for
Southern California. It is a reliablly performing plant and quite
beautiful. Palm enthusiasts get really excited about the variety
of color seen in the stem, crown shaft and new petioles. The
plants shown here are the “red stem” form with obvious red coloring at
the base of the trunks.
Crown shafts vary in color from red to yellow to powder white.
Eventually, most plants give a silver green trunk with a light colored
crown shaft as shown here. Trunks are several inches thick, leaves
are about five to six feet long and overall heights peak out under
twenty feet. Right on the coast this species can be grown in full sun
although strong filtered light or part day sun is ok too. Far
inland areas should expose this species to only a few hours of sun.Cold tolerance is into the mid and perhaps low 20's F.
Growth rate is slow to medium.
Availability on this species is variable.

HYOPHORBE VERSCHAFELTII
THE SPINDLE PALM WITH ITS CIGAR SHAPED TRUNK
EXOTIC, UNUSUAL APPEARING AND RARE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
Hyophorbe verschafeltii is
known as the Spindle Palm. It is closely related to Hyophorbe
lagenicaulis, the Bottle Palm. But, the Spindle Palm is a bit
more cold hardy and therefore the one that is a better choice for
Southern California. Most Bottle Palms don’t survive in this ara.
Both are native to the Mascarene Islands. Mature height in many
decades is fifteen feet or a bit more. On the trunk, the Spindle
Palm has the bulge off the ground, somewhere in the middle of a mature
trunk. The Bottle Palm swells at the base and above this gets more
narrow. Cold tolerance of the Spindle Palm is about freezing.
The Bottle Palm gets into trouble below thirty-five degrees. This
small difference makes a huge difference for growers. This
species wants full sun along the coast. Shown below is our 5 gallon

The trunk is thin and prominently ringed.I'm also showing an old photo of a more mature plant’s female
flower with near-mature black seeds. This is one super attractive
species.In terms of
culture, it is a shade loving species. So, one would plant it

TEN DAY SPECIAL
BAND SIZED SEEDLINGS I enjoy talking about this species because it is
one of my favorites. It is a large species over time. I say
'user friendly" because this is one of the few species that has
absolutely no spines; none of the leaflets, none one the stems. A
leaf brushing across your face feels no more intense than brushing past
a Maiden Hair Fern. We have a huge selection of this species.
Today I’m putting seedlings in band size on sale. Below are a few
of the main characteristics of this species:
*Large species with trunks slowly getting to over ten feet
*Leaf length typically six to eight feet, sometimes bigger.
*Trunk diameter to 18 inches
*Smooth petiole with no spines
*Great for strong filtered light or full sun along the coast
*Large interesting cones
*Leaflets soft and glossy green in color
*New leaves emerge upward, older leaves lay more horizontal
*Easy to grow
I've found that even customers who say "I only like palms, not cycads"
tend to love this species.

SHADE PLANT - SPRING - SUMMER BLOOMER
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE MULTI-STEMMED 5G PLANTS
We've been growing this winning plant for a time. It prefers
filtered light and is a dwarf plant that puts out clusters of huge pink
flowers. This variety is pink but they also can come in red,
apricot, orange, yellow and a whole assortment of other colors.
They typically get to a height of five feet or less and throw long
lasting blossoms. See how beautiful they are now - yet pictures
from a month ago had no flowers. Along the coast they can take
some sun. Cold hardiness is into the twenties F. Plants are
about as wide as they are tall and make a wonderful and colorful
addition to the garden floor. You'll not see this plant around too
much. We sold them like crazy last year as everyone wants color
for shady areas. On sale we are offering our 5 gallon size.These all have multiple stems.Each stem is either blooming now or about to bloom.Easy to ship. BTW, they blossom in the spring. So, if
you get one now, you'll have color soon. One picture below shows

CALATHEA SPECIES - PINK
BLOSSOMS A TYPE OF PRAYER PLANT
COLORFUL FOLIAGE WITH PURPLE BACKS THIS SPECIES HAS SOME COLD HARDINESS TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON IN BLOSSOM
Over the years we've grown quite a few types of
Calathea - known as the prayer plant. Native to the
tropical Americas, we've found these plants are somewhat difficult to
grow. They like warmth, humidity and filtered light. The main problem
has been that, in our un-heated greenhouses, the plants would literally
die during winter. To perfectly grow these plants you need a heated
high humidity greenhouse. They typically don't like outdoor winter
temperatures and most have had little success with them.
But, we had one variety shown below that has
done well with our temperatures that get down to a freeze. They have
flourished and are now showing pink blossom, lush green foliate with
purple ventral sides to the leaves. We don't know the species name.
They are a cluster of many plants. Limited numbers available. They'd
want filtered light in the garden.

About five or size years ago we received some
seeds labeled as Ficus macrophylla
or the Moreton's Bay Fig Tree. This
species makes a huge Banyon type tree that has a very thick trunk, large
roots that crawl the ground and has leaves that are three to five inches
long with red-colored backs. As we germinated and grew these seeds it
became apparent that the trees that they produced were not the Moreton's
Bay Fig but some other species. The leaves are larger that Ficus macrophylla,
have green backs with white veins. The tree is quite attractive and I'm
sure will make a large mature tree or could be used as a container grown
house or patio plant. Height in the pot is size to seven feet. In the
garden I suspect it'd do fine with full sun although I don't know the
cold hardiness. It has seen a freeze already and did fine. These are
too big for mail order. I can't show a mature plant as I don't know

plants grow from bulbs. They can become leafless during the winter and
sometimes the first thing you see in spring is a blossom. Blossoms are
spectacular - large funnel shaped blooms in an assortment of colors.
Leaves are green and strap like. Blossoms last for about 3 weeks are
are very showy. After the blossoms die off one has a small green plant
that goes dormant in winter. Plants slowly divide and multiply, forming
large garden clusters that really show off in the spring. They are easy
to grow in sun or part sun and require no special care. They just get
bigger and show more spring blossoms over the years. We have several

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.

RHAPIDOPHYLLUM HYSTRIX
THE NEEDLE PALM
WORLD'S MOST COLD HARDY PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE 20 YEAR OLD 45 GALLON PLANT
There is no doubt in my mind that this species is the most cold tolerant
of any palm species. It is native to the southeastern United States
with native habitats stretching from South Carolina down to northern
Florida and into Alabama and Mississippi. There are reports of
this species tolerating below zero degrees F. Now, this doesn't
mean that you can grow it in Michigan. But, in areas that see
significant cold such as North Carolina, central Texas or even New
Mexico, this species might work for you.
It is a suckering fan palm and known as the "Needle Palm" because it
forms dark colored, protuberant needles on the trunk. The eighth
picture below shows the needles on the trunk of an older garden plant.The first six photos shown this mature, seed producing palm.I only have this one specimen – came from a private grower and is
very old.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. If you don’t want a big
mature specimen, I do have much smaller 5g which are shippable.

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.

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

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?

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

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

This 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.

This unique and larger cycad is native to
Uganda. In fact, at one point it was called the "Uganda Giant
Cycad". This is because it has leaves that extend almost straight
up toward the sky and can be twelve feet long or more. Leaflets
are narrow and armed with small spines. The caudex is a light
color and in the wild can be up to ten feet tall. Historically, as
this species is similar toE.
laurentianus,
it was called also "Encephalartos
laurentianus Lake George",
referring to its specific habitat. The nursery plants I'm

of 4 to 5 inches.
They are about 8 years old and very nice. This is the perfect size for

of these plants with their long leaves with narrow leaflets.
Enthusiasts love this species because it's a good growing cycad.
Right on the coast I'd give it half day sun. It's not quite a
sun-tolerant as many of the South African species. Cold tolerance

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.
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.

On
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:
band size one gallon two gallon five gallon seven gallon

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