MEDIUM SIZED HAWAIIAN FAN PALM
GREEN LEAVES - TOLERATES COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE 25G SIZE
This popular type of fan palm native to Hawaii is easy to grow
and typically, over many years, will get to a height of about
twenty feet. We are growing at least five or six species
that have gotten huge in 25 gallon pots. Leaves are
usually green but there is a blue-leafed form. Trunk
diameter is about 8 to 10 inches. Leaves are palmate with
a bit of wave in the cross section.
Along the coast they'll take full sun. Inland areas should
try morning sun or strong filtered light. Cold tolerance
is into the upper twenties F. Some of the 25g we have
shown here is about 12 feet tall in the pot and at least 12
years old. I’d estimate some of them are the size of a 36
inch boxed plant. They are all too big for mail orders but
could be delivered. We have limited numbers available.
The first four photos show one of these beauties and the other
photos are garden pictures.
REGULAR PRICE 25 GALLON THIS

fifty feet. This is a sun species in all areas with a cold tolerance
into the teens F.

BRAHEA SPECIES "SUPER SILVER"
NICE 15 GALLON PLANTS
BLUE WITH THINNER TRUNK THAT B. ARMATA
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON PLANTS
|
Shown here is a 15
gallon plant of a Brahea species
from Mexico that is presently known as "Brahea species
Super Silver". Undoubtedly someone will describe it
in the near future. Seeds have been available only twice.
These plants are from the first batch that came along. It
is a blue plant but doesn't show the blue until older. It
wants full hot sun and would be perfect for the desert. I
suspect the cold tolerance is similar to Brahea
armata, about 15 degrees F. But, compared to the
later, this species trunk is much thinner and it is faster
growing. But, the blue color is just as intense.
Limited numbers available. Mature

PHOENIX
PUSILLA
PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST RARE DATE PALMS AROUND
5 GALLON SIZE FROM WILD COLLECTED SEEDS
SMALLER SPECIES OF DATE PALM – IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
It's almost impossible to get this smaller and super rare
species of Phoenix. I was lucky to get some wild collected
seeds about 7 years ago and am now offering 5 gallon plants at a
discount. Native to India, mature this species is rarely over ten
feet and has a maximum of fifteen feet. The trunk is typically
eight to ten inches thick. It is usually a single trunk plant but
can sucker. Leaves are six feet long and flat. The plants
mature are not very big. This is a sun species and I don't know
for sure the cold tolerance. But, most Southern California areas
should be able to grow it. These plants are about six years old
and are ready for planting.
This is the only size I have for sale and I know of no one else that has
them. Very limited
supply.
REGULAR PRICE THESE 5 GALLON $100

ARENGA ENGLERI
SUCKERING COLD HARDY PALM FROM
JAPAN AND TAIWAN
NEVER GETS OVERLY LARGE – COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL
LARGE 5G SIZE
This suckering Asian palm rarely gets over ten feet tall and has medium
width leaflets that are jagged at their apical ends. The underside
of the leaflets are silver. But, from afar, it looks like a green
palm. It is thick with stems because it suckers heavily and cannot
be seen through. Therefore, it's a good species to block
visibility. Growth rate is slow. Cold tolerance is into the
upper teens F. Flowers are very fragrant but seeds contain a
substance which makes the skin itch.
REGULAR PRICE 5G SIZE $95

CHAMAEDOREA OREOPHILA
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM
TOLERATES SOME SUN - FAIRLY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE 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. 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. We happen to have some
plants grown by Don Hodel. The last two photos are by Australian friend
Colin Wilson.

BRAHEA ARMATA
THE MEXICAN BLUE FAN PALM
BLUE HESPER PALM
VERY BLUE COLORED LEAVES – SLOW GROWING
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE PLANTS
This species of blue fan palm is not only known for its intense blue
color but also for the fact that it is extremely cold hardy. It
goes down to about 16 degrees. It is native to Mexico,
specifically to Baja Mexico. It prefers dry heat and is a challenge to
grow in humid areas. Mature plants take 30 years or more to reach
a height of 20 to 25 feet. The trunks are stout but clean. These
25g plants have nice color and are sun acclimated. They are
begging to be planted into someone's garden. This species is also
very drought tolerant. The plants we are putting on special are
intensely blue 2 gallon plants, large for their containers. The plants
on special are shown in the first five photos.
These would be easy to mail order and are extremely cold hardy.
REGULAR PRICE 2 GALLON $65

BUTIA PARAGUAYENSIS
GREEN COLORED BUTIA WITH ARCHED LEAVES
FAIRLY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND 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. Culture includes full sun and good draining soil.
Cold hardiness is into the teens F. The band size on special are
finally up to size for a band with about five leaves.
The photo by Tobias Spanner (8th picture) shows a larger
specimen. The last photo shows a 15g at the nursery. It
demonstrates the marked curved leaves.
REGULAR PRICE BAND SIZE $55
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE $45
These would be simple to mail order.

HUSKY CARIBBEAN FAN PALM
GREEN TO BLUE GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
This species of fan palm, according to some taxonomists, may be the same
as Sabal Bermudana,
native to Bermuda. We got the seeds from a botanical garden and
are keeping the same name as called by that garden. It gets an 18
to 24 inch thick trunk and has wide green leaves. It can reach
maximum heights of greater than fifty feet, loves sun and heat and is
cold hardy into the teens F. Our band sizes are nicely sized for
their container and on sale.

QUICK GROWING, CROWN SHAFTED
SIMILAR TO PTYCHOSPERMA
ELEGANS BUT
FASTER GROWING
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE SIZE
This rare pinnate, crown shafted and thin trunked palm tree is from the
Solomon Islands. Most growers comment that this species is very
similar appearing to Ptychosperma
elegans .
It gets a height of up to thirty feet with a four inch thick trunk.
Leaves are about five feet long. Leaf color is green. The
crown shaft is silver-green. Compared to Ptychosperma
elegans, this
species is:
faster growing
taller
has wider leaflets
has larger leaves
It is a part day sun species and has a cold tolerance into the mid to
upper twenties F. Perhaps one could grow it in full sun right on
the coast. It is rarely available. I'm offering band sized
plants on special for ten days.

SUPER UNUSUAL ENCEPHALARTOS HYBRID
F2 HYBRID WITH E. WOODII POLLEN
ENCEPHALARTOS (E. NATALENSIS X E. WOODII) X
(ENCEPHALARTOS HORRIDUS X E. WOODII)
CHANCE FOR "WOODII" LIKE CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This should prove to be one of the most
interesting hybrid Encephalartos
available on the market. It is an F2 hybrid. These were done from
domestic plants in Southern California. The hybridizer took pollen from
the E. horridus x woodii
to pollinate a receptive female of
E. natalensis x woodii. As most
know, E. woodii
is extinct in the wild and only male plants are known to exist.
E. horridus x woodii
(Encephalartos "horwood")
is one of the most sought after hybrids around. I've shown multiple
photos of the plants on Special as well as close up photos of the leaves
of both parents. Respect that since this is a backcross of two parents
with woodii blood that it may be one of the more "woodii-appearing"
hybrids on the market nowadays. It'll want full sun and be cold hardy
to the low 20's F.
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POTS THIS
HYBRID $110
I have limited numbers available. They'll not
last long.

MACROZAMIA MOOREI
LARGER COLD HARDY CYCAD
A CYCAD THAT EVENTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A PALM TREE

decades, it establishes a thick trunk and can get ten to twenty feet
tall. At this size the truly resemble a palm tree, both in crown
size and trunk size. It is recognizable because of its long,
curved and keeled leaves (V shaped in cross section). Other
species like M. johnsoni and communis have
much flatter leaves. The nursery plants shown here are mostly
larger plants from 15 gallon to box size specimens. Caudex sizes
are all quite large for the container. You’ll notice the keeled
leaves on the photos. This species wants full sun and is cold
hardy into the upper teens F. We have multiple other pecie of

DWARF GREEN MEXICAN CYCAD
CONES AT A SMALL SIZE - NEVER OVER 3 TO FOUR FEET TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL CIT POT SIZE
This is small Mexican cycad with stems typically under one foot
tall in size and leaves green in color and up to three feet long,
sometimes shorter. It usually holds about five or so leaves,
sometimes more. It is a variable species and leaflets can be
lanceolate or wedge shaped. Leaflets are quite thin in texture and
have soft spines on the margins. Overall, this species has a
"fern-like" appearance and would not be considered spiny. The
names "vasquezii" replaced the more commonly known name of "fischeri"
in the past fifteen years or so. I'm showing two plants below that
are in citrus pot containers with caudexes of between 3 and 5 inches.
Several we have are in cone. The last two photos show garden

50 years old.

PLANT BROKER VERSUS NURSERYMAN
WHO DOES AND DOES NOT GROW THEIR OWN PLANTS
HOW TO TELL IF A NURSERY PRODUCES ITS OWN PLANTS
There's a little secret among people who sell
plants. That secret is that
some nurseries don't "grow plants" but merely buy someone else's plants
and re-sell them. Unfortunately, they
are often brokering plants grown elsewhere, often in more tropical
areas, and that these plants won't do as well as locally grown plants.
Why would this be a secret? Because they want to appear that all the
plants were grown by them whereas the opposite is true.
Most gardeners have found that locally grown plants are definitely
superior.
How
do you tell who is who? How do you know if a "nursery" is growing their
own plant material or just brokering?
It's quite simple. Look inside the nursery for evidence of
germination. Look for small plants in addition to large ones.
Look for plants of the same species in many sizes.
If you see none of these things, perhaps just one size of a given plant,
you're almost guaranteed that that person is just selling other
nursery's material. Examples would be large companies and chains. But,
even small nurseries do this as well.
I'd
estimate that fewer than 10% of all nurseries actually grow plants from
seedlngs or younger plants on to larger plants.
This is important because growers are the most familiar with the species
they grow and how they'll do for you.
Yes, on occasion Jungle Music does bring in
plants from other sources. But, it's most often young seedlings when we
do. And we then grow them up for many years to the large palms your
know us for. I've found that we can't germinate everything. Sometimes
we can't get seeds or run out of a given species. So, occasionally we
need some help. We'll seek out several species we need. We usually get
small seedlings and grow them into larger plants. With this said, 95%
of our plant material we've grown ourselves. Just looking at the our
nursery, you realize this.
We've got a quarter million plants in about ten different container
sizes.
We
feel it's best that you buy from a nursery that really knows their
plants. The pictures below show you some
of the two miles of tables we put our plants on. You'll see plants of
all sizes - from new seedlings to 5g, 15g and larger plants.
You'll spot instantly that we are a grower, not a plant broker.
I thought you'd like to know this.
On any plant we sell, we can tell you what
it wants in your area, the chances you can grow it well and its cultural
requirements.

CHAMAEROPS CERIFERA
NATIVE TO MOROCCO
THE SEMI-DWARF "BLUE MED FAN"
FULL HOT SUN - EXTREMELY COLD HARDY
SUPER OLD 15G PLANTS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G PLANTS
This interesting palm is a suckering blue fan palm is native to Morocco.
It's actually quite amazing that it took a long time for taxonomists to
realize that it was a species and had it's own unique characteristics.
It's definitely a deep blue color but also it never gets as large as Chamaereops
humilus. The problem was that
there were also native short clones of the later. Chamaerops
cerifera is
one of the most cold hardy species for those of you in super cold areas.
I've had reports of it going down to 13 degrees F. Mature height
is about six feet or so. Color is blue in hot sun. This
species does sucker. The plants on special here are nice 15g
plants. They'd be difficult to ship and for mail order customers,
consider the 5g size. As seen, they are suckering out with a nice
sized primary trunk. We do
sell boxed plants if needed on special order.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $195
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE LARGE 5G $165

RHOPALOSTYLIS CHEESEMANII
MEDIUM SIZED PINNATE PALM WITH CROWN SHAFT
FROM
ROUL ISLAND
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Rhopalostylis cheesemanii is
from Roul Island as opposed to Norfolk Island, the home of R. baueri.
It reportedly has darker brown tomentum on the crown shaft and petioles
compared to R.
baueri and
the fruits are larger in size. But, the most remarkable thing is
that some enthusiasts have noticed is that it is a more aggressive
grower in Southern California. In fact, opposed to R.
baueri,
it has been known to do quite well in full sun right along the coast.
It is a medium sized pinnate palm with a mature height of 25 to 30 feet
and crown shafted. The trunk is about 8 inches thick or a bit
more.
Although you can't see it below, it has a a dark petiole. Be aware
that many people feel this should be considered a sub-variety of Rhopalostylis
baueri.
Some have reported that the crown shaft can take on a purple color.

description was first done by John Dowe in 1998 - followed by other
revisions. It gets to heights above thirty feet with a trunk diameter
of 10 to 18 inches. In habitat it tolerates hot and arid conditions.
It is a full sun species with cold hardiness to at least the low 20's
F. We're putting our 15 gallon sized plants on special. These are
large for mail order but it can be done.

DYPSIS PEMBANA
SINGLE TRUNK OR SUCKERING
NATIVE TO PEMBA ISLAND
TAKES FULL COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
There are both single trunk and suckering forms of
this species. Nowadays, most of the plants available of this
species are the suckering form. Both get to a height of 25 feet,
have an attractive green trunk and a light colored crown shaft.
Leaves have a graceful arch and the leaflet color is green. It's a
great alternative for the garden. Note how the trunks are rather
thin. The two plants shown here are going to be the suckering
variety. Along our coast it will take full sun but I'd recommend
filtered or morning light inland. The plants on special are in 5g
size and on sale. They are not huge so we’re giving a good
discount. We may have both larger and smaller size.

DYPSIS PLUMOSA
THIN TRUNK PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
FLUFFY LEAVES – SILVER CROWN SHAFT
TOLERATES SUN ALONG TH COAST
TEN DAY SPECIAL STRONG ONE GALLON PLANTS
This single trunk, crown shafted pinnate palm comes from Madagascar.
It is a medium size palm with a narrow trunk and plumose leaves.
Trunk diameter is four to six inches. The trunk color is
silver-green and it has prominent rings. Leaflets are narrow and
green in color. The ends of the leaves curve downwards. We
have been growing this species for over two decades and found it to be a
reliable grower. When young the trunk is much thinner but fattens
up with age. It is quite cold tolerant, down into the mid to
low 20's F. It's growth rate is good. It likes full sun in
most areas. We are offering good sized one gallon plants on
sale. As you can see, they are very tall for their pots.
We also have 5 and 15 gallon plants available.
We prefer, when possible, to plant several in one pot on this
species. We think as a
larger plant they look nicer and more full looking.

RHOPALOSTYLIS CHEESEMANII
MORE RARE SPECIES OF THIS GENUS
GORGEOUS CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
Of the Shaving Brush Palm family, this is the
hardest one to find. And, many think it's the prettiest and most
desirable species. Some consider it to be a variety of R.
baueri.
We like to consider it a species. Native to Raoul Island, an
island well off the eastern side of New Zealand, this species has a
medium sized trunk and reaches a height of twenty five feet. The
crown shaft is gorgeous but not as swollen as R. sapida.
I have some customers who report the crown shaft being a purple color.
On younger plants, the leaf stems 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.
REGULAR PRICE BAND SIZE $50

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

CYPHOPHOENIX ELEGANS
BEAUTIFUL SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM NEW CALEDONIA
ARCHING GREEN LEAVES, CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species is from New Caledonia in the northern part of the island of
New Caledonia. It gets to a height of 20 to 25 feet in many years
and has a green to silver, slightly swollen crown shaft.
The trunk is thin, about 4 to 6 inches thick. The leaves
are about six feet long and arch at their ends.
Cyphophoenix nucele has stiffer, 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 inland areas.
Cold tolerance is down to the mid-twenties F.
We’re putting 5g plants on special.
Of note, this is a very rare species and hard to find for sale.

I was told by the collector that the blossom every summer with lots of

WODYETIA BIFURCATA
THE FOXTAIL PALM
TREES IN FRUIT
Wodyetia bifurcata, a species from
Queensland, Australia, is known for it's fluffy leaves, medium stature
and bright red and large fruit. Shown here are several plants in fruit
in various stages. Fruit first appears green. Fruit will attain full
size but still be green. Then it changes to a light yellow, then to
orange and finally to a prominent red. At this red stage it may fall to
the ground. When red, it is ready to be removed and germinated. Green
fruit germinates poorly. Fruit size is about like a small chicken egg.
Seeds inside are brown and prominently grooved. In our local
growing area here in San Diego, we've had scores of mature trees of this
species produce viable seeds.

BISMARCKIA NOBILIS
STUNNING BLUE FAN PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
POPULAR, BLUE, STATELY AND BEAUTIFUL!
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 25 GALLON SIZE
All the time customers are seeking out
Bismarckia, especially for mail orders to other states. We
have available some 15 gallon plants of this species that can be mail
ordered. But, we don't have too many. For several decades
we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from Madagascar.
These are the blue form. You’ll note that there’s some purple
color to the leaves and stems. This is because they were outdoor grown
and saw cold weather into the twenties F. But, this is the blue form as
only the blue ones seem to show purple with cold. As they grow,
all leaves remain blue. Mature specimens in their native habitat reach
heights of over forty feet. Trunk diameter can reach 18 inches or
a bit more. Leaf width can be up to eight feet.
This is a very attractive palm and should be given room in the garden to
show it off. It prefers full, hot sun. Many people in desert
locations have found they can grow it. Cold tolerance is about 22
degrees, although plants seeing colder have come back from injury.
Shown are our 25 gallon plants on special.

ARENGA MICRANTHA
LARGE SUCKERING PINNATE PALM FROM INDIA THAT TOLERATES COLD
WE HAVE A FEW VERY LARGE 15 GALLON PLANTS
SUPER DIFFICULT TO FIND
20% OFF REGULAR PRICE FOR TEN DAYS
Today 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. I don't really know for sure as of yet.
But, 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 large 15 gallon nursery plant. A habitat photo by
T. Spanner is also shown. For those of you in colder areas, this
is a great palm. We only have a few for sale.

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

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

PINANGA CORONATA
SUPER BEAUTIFUL IVORY CANE PALM
SUCKERING FILTERED LIGHT EXOTIC PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This exotic suckering pinnate palm is native to Sumatra, Java and
Sulawesi. It has thin trunks that can have a blonde color.
Leaves are somewhat narrow, green in color with an unarmed petiole.
Mature height in CA is usually about twelve feet although in the tropics
they get much taller. They like filtered light but can take a bit
of morning sun. Too much sun here will burn them. Cold
hardiness is into the upper 20's F. I had a mature specimen that
produced large numbers of purple fruit for years. This species is
similar to Pinanga kuhlii but
has more repetitive regular leaves and less mottling to the leaflets.
Of note, some taxonomists consider these two species synonymous.
Shown here are some 5 gallon plants which we’re putting on

SHOULD BE AN
INTERESTING BLUE MATURE PLANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
Recently we have been offering some very unusual
Encephalartos hybrids. But, we still carry the pure species
almost all the time. This hybrid comes from two South African species.
Both parents are native to the Eastern Cape region of RSA. Male pollen
of trispinosus was used to fertilize the female cone of E.
arenarius. Both parents had blue color. The offspring should
produce a small to medium sized adult blue plant with hybrid vigor,
curved leaves and leaflets with prominent lobes/spines. It should be
very attractive. It'll want full sun along the coast and be cold hardy
to about 22 degrees F. This is the first time we have offered this
hybrid.

ROYSTONEA BORINQUENA
PERHAPS A MORE COLD HARDY ROYAL PALM
PHOTOGRAPHS OF MATURE PALMS
During the winter of
2007 when we had a severe cold spell, I came to find that this species
or Royal Palm seemed to posses more cold hardiness than Roystonea
regia and others that
are more commonly seen. Our area got down to about 25 degrees F. An
enthusiast about a mile from the nursery said his R.
regias were
totally burned but the Roystonea
borninquena went
untouched. Because of this I pursued seeds and grew more. We've sold a
lot of this beautiful palm since then. It is native to Puerto Rico,
Hispaniola and a few other islands. You'll note the absence of the
super swollen base often seen with other species. It likes full sun,
enjoys ample water and can get to heights over forty feet. At the
present time, availability of this species of Royal Palm has been almost
zero as no new seeds have been on the market for several years.
But, hopefully this will change soon.

RHAPIS EXCELSA
THE LADY PALM
ONE OF THE BEST INTERIOR PALMS
ALSO GREAT UNDERSTORY GARDEN PLANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 15G SIZE
We have an assortment of Lady Palms which
are near perfect - almost as nice as the expensive ones we bring in out
of Hawaii. But, they are locally grown and better priced. And, we are
offering them on special. Have you ever wondered why you hardly ever
see Rhapis on sale? It's because they are super slow growing.
The plants shown here are eight, maybe ten years old. Therefore,
growers have little motivation to sell them cheap. The plants shown
here are nice enough for a bank or hotel lobby, a professional office or
even your living room.
Rhapis excelsa is native to Asia and typically doesn't get much
over 8 feet tall in a pot. They do great in shady locations of the
garden or inside the home. They are a very nice patio plant. Cold
hardiness is about 20 degrees F. They want low dose fertilizer. Too
much fertilizer will burn them. The plants on special here are 15g
size, very full with lots of canes. They won't last long.
REGULAR PRICE THESE 15G $375

NEWLY EMERGING

FAIRLY TALL CROWN SHAFTED PALM
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.
Mature heights can read 60 to 80 feet. Compare this to the height
of the common King Palm at about 40 to 50 feet. 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. Of note, as you see on one photo
below, the newly emerging leaf is red. I wish to thank L.N. below
for his picture of a mature tree. The plants I'm putting on

This great palm from Madagascar is known for its rusty-brown/red crown

Trunk color is silver with prominent rings. Leaf color is green.
Right on the coast it takes full sun easily. Far inland would
require part day sun or filtered light. Cold tolerance is down to

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

RHAPIDOPHYLLUM HYSTRIX
THE NEEDLE PALM
WORLD'S MOST COLD HARDY PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE GALLON SIZE
There is no doubt in my mind that this species is the most cold tolerant
of any palm species. It is native to the southeastern United States
with native habitats stretching from South Carolina down to northern
Florida and into Alabama and Mississippi. There are reports of
this species tolerating below zero degrees F. Now, this doesn't
mean that you can grow it in Michigan. But, in areas that see
significant cold such as North Carolina, central Texas or even New
Mexico, this species might work for you.
It is a suckering fan palm and known as the "Needle Palm" because it
forms dark colored, protuberant needles on the trunk. The fourth
picture below shows small needles forming on the trunk. The first
five photos show the 5g on sale followed by a few 15g plants. All
are in limited supply. In sun the 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. The one gallon plants are being put on sale.

PRITCHARDIA NAPALIENSIS
THE NAPALIE LOULU PALM
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN
MEDIUM SIZED TROPICAL FAN PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE GALLON JUVENILE PLANTS
This palm is a tropical fan palm native to Hawaii. Its habitat is
located on the cliffs of the Napali coastline on the island of Kauai.
It reaches a trunk height of fourteen to twenty feet with a trunk
diameter of about 8 inches. Taller specimens have been reported in
habitat. Leaves are green, flat with distinctly divided segments
when mature. Seeds become black and are round, about an inch in
length. Near the leaf attachment, the proximal leaf and terminal
leaf stem have pronounced rusty-brown hairs/tomentum. The rest of
the ventral leaves are green. Along the coast it can be grown in
full sun and cold hardiness is a bit below a freeze (exact low
uncertain). We rarely have these for sale. Seeds were from a
domestic tree.

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

ZAMIA AMBLYPHYLLIDIA
DWARF GREEN CYCAD
GOOD LOW PROFILE CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE PLANTS
This dwarf species of Zamia is
from Puerto Rico and surrounding Caribbean areas. It is a small
cycad with a caudex of six inches. It suckers, forming clumps.
Its leaves are about 3 feet long, arching downwards and the leaflets are
small. The petioles are unarmed. It likes filtered light and
tolerates temperatures into the upper twenties F. It prefers
partial sun or strong filtered light. But, it can be grown in sun
along our coastal areas here. It is an ideal cycad species where one
wants plants to stay small. It's perfect for planting next to a

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

THE BOTTLE PALM
HYOPHORBE LAGENICAULIS
POPULAR AND INTERESTING SEMI-DWARF PALM
BUT, VERY COLD SENSITIVE & DIFFICULT TO GROW
SPINDLE PALM - A MUCH BETTER ALTERNATIVE PALM
The common name for Hyophorbe
lagenicaulis is the Bottle Palm. It gets
this common name from the fact that an old specimen has a markedly
enlarged base. So, when larger, it looks like a large water
bottle. It is a semi-short, sun loving palm that gets to a height
of ten feet in a few decades. People enjoy the small stature.
But, there are serious limitations. It does very poorly
with colder winter weather that we see in Southern California.
A freeze will often be the end of it. Even temperatures in the
30's F. significantly damage it. Of all the Bottle Palms sold by
depot type stores in our area, an estimated 99% are dead by the first
winter.
The photos below below in the first four rows are
all the Bottle Palm. But, there's a much better
alternative palm that looks very similar. It's the Spindle Palm,
Hyophorbe verschafeltii. In the
right growing areas, Spindle Palms look very similar but have a 75%
chance of making it. They can take temperatures down to a
freeze or as bit lower. They typically get to a mature height of
about 15 feet or a bit taller. So, they are taller but still in
the short palm category. Both species are slow growing and want
sun. The Spindle Palm is shown in the last row of photos.
Note that the main difference is that the bulge in the trunk is not so
much at the base but rather in the central trunk, off the ground.
Because of their superiority, we almost never grow or offer Bottle Palms
but have a good stock of Spindle Palms to offer for sale.

HYOPHORBE VERSCHAFELTII
THE SPINDLE PALM
A LOOK AT SOME VERY OLD SPECIMENS
SUPER OLD TREES
Most of us know what the Spindle Palm, Hyophorbe
verschafeltii, looks
like. But, I thought I'd show you pictures of plants that are at least
fifty years old. I've been following these particular trees
individually for over thirty years and they were large when I first met
them. So, here's the "Senior citizens" of Spindle Palms. The fourth
photo shows the classic bulge in the mid-trunk. But, on some trees
you'll notice this is less apparent - almost as if the central bulge
aborts. I can't comment too much on this other than to say that this
seems true on occasions and the bulge is less apparent. I wish I had
sequential, over the decades, photos of individual trees.
Many are growing this sun-loving species here in Southern California and
the tallest ones I know of are ten to twelve feet tall. References say
twenty feet is maximum and certainly some of these trees are pushing
that height. Cold hardiness is down to about a freeze. At the nursery
we have seedlings, 5g and 15g sizes for sale.

CHAMAEDOREA TENELLA
SUPER CUTE DWARF UNDERSTORY PALM
SIMPLE, UNDIVIDED LEAVES
A REAL COLLECTOR ITEM
This is an adorable small, single trunk,
understory palm from Southern Mexico that is typically about two feet
tall. In habitat, it has been known to attain a height of three to four
feet. Trunks are quite thin, usually about a quarter of an inch thick.
Leaves are complete (simple) with no divided leaflets. It is closely
related to Chamaedorea
geonomiformis, just smaller. The lumping type taxonomists must
drool at the possibility of someday lumping the two together. It is
rarely seen on the market. Recently we got in about five of these and
they sold the same day. But, I still wanted to show them to you. It
wants filtered light and has a cold hardiness somewhere in the
mid-twenties F. Because of its rarity, little is offered about culture
in reference books. Anticipate in the future that, from time to time,
we'll have small plants available.

BISMARCKIA NOBILIS
BLUE SINGLE TRUNK FAN PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
A DEFINITE STATEMENT PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL GOOD SIZED 15 GALLON PLANTS
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 is our 15 gallon size that we have on special. This is a
good size to start with and should take off quickly.

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

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

RADICALIS ON

NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
5 GALLON SIZE NOW AVAILABLE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
I have not shown this species that often because it's rarely available
and very difficult to find. It is native to Mexico at high
elevations near Chiapas. It is a single trunk, understory palm
that has sort of a thick trunk up to 1.5 or 2 inches. The flowers
are reminiscent of Chamaedorea
radicalis as
they shoot high into the foliage. Its overall appearance is also
similar to the trunking radicalis but
with bigger leaves, wider leaflets and a thicker trunk. It gets up
to about 10 to 15 feet.
It grows in filtered light and seems to be cold hardy into the
mid-twenties at least. We have a limited number of 5 gallons
available (first five photos). Some pots have two plants per

RAVENEA SAMBIRANENSIS
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
WHEN MATURE, LANDSCAPE SIZED SPECIMEN
TEN DAY SPECIAL ONE 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 one gallon plants on sale. They should
be grown in an area where they can work their way from strong filtered
light into full sun. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.
They like moisture but need good draining soil. My thanks to TS at

ENCEPHALARTOS EUGENE-MARAISII
BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD FROM THE TRANSVAAL AREA
VERY SOUGHT AFTER BY ENTHUSIAST
MEDIUM SIZED MATURE - UPRIGHT LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
This species is endemic to the Waterberg range in the Limpopo Province
of South Africa. Their habitat is dry and arid. They grow on steep
rocky slops, grasslands and savanna. It is a small to
medium sized species. Leaf length generally does not exceed a meter and
stems can get about four meters high. Of the Transvaal (previous
province within South Africa north of the Vaal River) species, this is
the most common. That being said, this species is still exceptionally
rare and almost extinct in the wild.
The leaves on this species can vary from a blue/green color, to a
powdery silver and in some cases be an aquamarine. Leaflets twist
almost perpendicular to the petiole, giving them a 'stacking' appearance
(like blinds). In coastal and inland areas, this species prefers to be
in the full sun, but can tolerate partial sun. Cold tolerance is about
22 degrees F.
The seedlings on special are 18 month old with two leaves. We rarely

CYCAS THOUARSII
EXOTIC GREEN CYCAD WITH THIN TRUNK
VERY SIMILAR TO CYCAS CIRCINALIS
MEDIUM TO LARGE GREEN CYCAD FROM EASTERN AFRICA AND ADJACENT ISLANDS
EASY TO GROW - TAKES COASTAL SUN
Cycas thouarsii
is often mentioned as "coming from Madagascar",
and that it does. But, there are also native populations in
multiple eastern African countries and in the Comoros Islands. It
is a large cycad that can get trunks over thirty feet tall and twelve to
eighteen inches thick. But, in the short term of 20 years,
anticipate a trunk height of six or eight feet in the ground.
Leaves are green, tend to be upright and have a length of six to
nine feet. A healthy plant can throw forty new leaves all at once.
Leaflets are paired and bright green. Leaf stems are armed with
small hooks. Leaflets are leathery and reduced in size toward the
base of the leaf.
Cycas circinalis
is the trade name for a very similar
plant known as the Queen Sago.
Probably, most of the plants in the United States are not the
true species which is from India.
From an appearance point of view, it is quite similar to
C. thouarsii
and often these two are considered the same. Both of these
species thrive in coastal Southern California and tolerate full sun
right on the coast. In fare
inland areas, part day sun is preferred.
Shown below are very
nice examples of these species.
The older 15g are 30 year old plants that have been locally grown
outdoors in sun. We also
have some boxed specimens and smaller sizes for sale.
The 5g size can be easily shipped.
Cold tolerance is down to the low 20’s F.

DIOON SPINULOSUM
A CUSTOMER FAVORITE CYCAD
GREEN LEAVES, ELEGANT
LOTS OF SIZES TO CHOOSE FROM
Although you can't tell from the photos here,
this cycad species can get quite tall. I've seen photos from
habitat with what appears to be over 20 feet of trunk. Dioon
spinulosum is native to
tropical areas in Mexico where it grows in limestone forests.
Trunks don't get overly thick, typically 12 to 14 inches thick.
With age, this can be more. Leaves are green and mildly armed.
Leaf length is about six feet. My preference is to grow this
species in filtered light. Cold tolerance is into the mid twenties
F. Be aware, to get a foot or two of trunk can take a few decades.
At the nursery we usually have a good selection of this species from
small to large. Photos below shown some nursery plants as well as
plants in gardens.

VEITCHIA SPIRALIS
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM VANUATU
EXOTIC APPEARING CROWN SHAFTED PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL FIFTEEN GALLON SIZE
This unusual single trunk palm
species is native to the small island of Vanuatu. It is a tall
species reaching heights of over fifty feet. It has a silver-green
crown shaft and premorse leaflets. It is quite exotic appearing.
It is a sun species along the coast. It does tolerate a
freeze. But, it is a lot easier to grow than other Veitchia species.
Customers have told us it’s their favorite of the genus by far. I don’t
have many, but I'm offering the fifteen gallon size on special.
The plant shown below is a double, two stems. And, I forgot to
say, it’s super rare and near impossible to find. We only have a
couple for sale.

RAVENEA GLAUCA
GREAT MADAGASCAR PALM - MEDIUM HIEGHT - THIN
TRUNK
NOT TOO MANY LEFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G
Many folks like plants that don't have a
super thick trunk and don't get too tall. Such is the case with
this species. Ravenea glauca is native to Madagascar, has
a thin six inch trunk and gets to a height of about 25 feet. One
of my favorite habitat photos is shown below with the red cliffs in the
background. How gorgeous is this species? It is a full sun
plant in most areas and cold hardy to the upper teens to low 20's F.
The 15g plants shown here are six feet or a
bit more in height. They'd be a challenge to mail order.
But, we do have smaller sizes for sale that are easy to ship.
Growth rate is pretty good. It is a very durable plant and easy to
grow. New growers should consider this species. Be aware we
only have a few available.

CHAMAEDOREA CATARACTARUM
THE CAT PALM
A SEMI-DWARF CLUSTERING PALM
HEIGHT TO ABOUT TO SIX FEET
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE 15G POT SIZE
This species of palm has been sold under the name "Cat Palm", which is
an abbreviation for "cataractarum".
For Chamaedoreas and
in the past, it was fairly easy to find. Nowadays it's very
difficult to find, especially with mature size as shown here. It
is a clustering palm that gets six feet tall. It really doesn't
form any trunk. It likes water as it has a native habitat near
river beds. It is cold hardy into the mid 20's F. And I'd
recommend, at most, a few hours of sun or filtered light. It is
native to the southern areas of Mexico and possibly into areas of
Central America. With less than adequate water it tends to look
scrappy. At the nursery, we offer have a handful of large plants
in 15 gallon size. They typically are suckering with a near mature
height. They are about 15
to 20 years old and very full as shown here and have been at our nursery
all this time.
REGULAR PRICE THIS SIZE $225

FLUFFY, PLUMOSE LEAVES
THIS CAN BE A SINGLE OR A SUCKERING PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This species of palm is typically single trunk but there are suckering
forms. This is what we are
offering here. It is native
to island of Nossi-Be off the coast of Madagascar. It can reach
heights of over thirty feet. It has leaves arranged in three ranks
- "tristichous". Trunk diameter is about 8 inches and the
crown shaft is a rusty-brown color and not elongated. It is a
difficult species to find nowadays. I'd recommend growing it in
full sun along the coast. I'd estimate cold hardiness to be in the
mid-twenties F. We have nice 15 gallons on special.
Note the interesting leaflet arrangement.

BRAHEA SPECIES "SUPER SILVER"
NICE 5 GALLON PLANTS
BLUE WITH THINNER TRUNK THAT B. ARMATA
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
|
Shown here is a 5
gallon plant of a Brahea species
from Mexico that is presently known as "Brahea species
Super Silver". Undoubtedly someone will describe it
in the near future. Seeds have been available only twice.
These plants are from the first batch that came along. It
is a blue plant but doesn't show the blue until older. It
wants full hot sun and would be perfect for the desert. I
suspect the cold tolerance is similar to Brahea
armata, about 15 degrees F. But, compared to the
later, this species trunk is much thinner and it is faster
growing. But, the blue color is just as intense.
Shown here is the 5g size. Limited numbers. Mature

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

DYPSIS CARLSMITHII
ORIGINALLY CALLED "DYPSIS STUMPY"
ATTRACTIVE AND DIFFERENT SINGLE TRUNK
MADAGASCAR PALM
MEDIUM HEIGHT - THICK TRUNK
SALE OF 5 GALLON SIZE
The original specimen of this species was
found in the garden of the now-late Don Carlsmith on the Big Island, HI.
Friend Jeff Marcus grew this species from seeds of this single plant
and, thirty years ago, referred to it as Dypsis "Stumpy". With the
assistance of John Dransfield at Kew Gardens in the U.K., it was later
given the name of Dypsis carlsmithii.
This is a medium sized, crown shafted pinnate
palm with upright leaves that are green and arch at their ends.
Leaves are keeled and the crown shaft is green with hints of orange.
It was called "stumpy" by Jeff because the trunk is thick compared to
many other Dypsis.
Trunks are ringed and 12 to 14 inches thick. Mature height is
twenty feet and it wants part day or full sun along the coast.
Cold tolerance is into the upper 20's F. Nowadays, the only source
of seeds for this species is domestic seeds so availability is very
limited. We are putting a small number of 5 gallon on sale.

SABAL
MINOR
DWARF, COLD HARDY FAN PALM
NEVER OVER ABOUT 7 FEET TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
Sabal minor is a dwarf species of fan palm from
the southern United States and is commonly found in the state of Texas.
It rarely gets foliage overhead with an average height of four to seven
feet. It has a long petiole and a small leaf. The blossom
produces an ample supply of small black seeds and juts upward into or
above the foliage. This is often a way to identify it as it
produces flowers and fruit as a that is not overhead. It takes sun
and can tolerate part day sun. Cold tolerance is excellent,
probably about 16 degrees F.
The seedlings in band size are a great size for affordable mail order.
They are very nice size for a band. This species is quite easy to
grow and has been used as a houseplant.p

CARPOXYLON MACROSPERMUM
DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS CROWN SHAFTED PALM
NATIVE TO VANUATU
EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND
NOT VERY COLD TOLERANT
SALE ON ONE
GALLON PLANTS
This extremely gorgeous crown shafted palm was
introduced into the cultivation market perhaps 25 years ago. At that
time and since, availability of seeds has very limited and seed prices
high - as much as several dollars per seed. This is a single trunk palm
with very arching green leaves and a lime green colored crown shaft.
The trunk is medium sized and about 10 inches thick. Overall height is
15 to 20 feet. Leaves are keeled and leaflets continue nearly all the
way to the base of the petiole. The base of the trunk is slightly
swollen. The difficulty in growing this species is the lack of its
ability to tolerate a freeze. Tolerated low temperatures are 33 to 34
degrees. With this said, some people in warmer microclimates have had
success in growing this beautiful palm. It wants acclimation into full
sun. The mature photos are c/o a friend in Vanuatu and are from a
private garden. This is an extremely difficult species to find for
sale. Within a month or so, all these are going into 5 gallon pots.

DIOON CALIFANOI
MEDIUM SIZED MEXICAN CYCAD
KEELED, ARCHING LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
There is some type of seductive quality to
this rare species of Dioon. I think it's because of the
compact, rigid, keeled and curved leaves. At times they are a bit
bizarre appearing - but very appealing. This is a species that takes on
the mature appearance over time. As a young plant you might think it's
a "ho-hummer". But, as it ages, it develops its traditional appearance
and gets more attractive. Leaves are four to five feet long. In a
domestic situation, a plant with a three foot trunk would be enormous.
It takes full sun and is cold hardy into the low 20's F. Plants on
special have a caudex of about 2 inches
or a bit more.

ZAMIA
SPARTEA
A DWARF THIN LEAF CYCAD
TOLERATES SUN ALONG THE COAST
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This species of Mexican cycad is quite unusual to see available because
it has been neglected for so long because enthusiasts sought out the
more broad leaf Zamia species. Zamia
spartea has
extremely thin leaflets. The leaf stems are mildly armed with
small spines. This is a dwarf cycad. It lives in grassy
areas and is difficult to spot in habitat because it is camouflaged by
the adjacent grass. It gets a cuadex about four inches in size with
leaves three to four feet long.
They are green in color and leaf stems are prominently armed with
spines. In the ground and
in cultivation, it will hold perhaps five leaves or more. It cones
at an age of about five to six years after germination. Shown here
are some citrus pot and coning sized plants. These are about ten
years old. Note the male cones in the 5th photo of a nursery
plant. Cold tolerance of this species is into the twenties F.
Along the coast it can tolerate a fair amount of sun. Inland areas
would require sun protection. We have citrus pot plants with
caudexes of about 3 inches that we’re putting on 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. We do offer this species from
time to time in small sizes.

POTTING UP A NEW PALM SEEDLING
PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING TECHNIQUE -
VEITCHIA
SEEDLINGS
If you follow the techniques given in the
article above, you will end up having seedlings that will need repotting
into a growing container. Shown here are some vigorous
Veitchia
seedlings that were germinated in a flat. Flats are not our favorite
for germinating (are not deep containers) but, for conservation of
space, was what we used for these seeds. You can see in the first two
photos that these are well developed with about two or three leaves. We
prefer to have several leaves before we repot seedlings.
Photographs three to five show the seedlings
after they've been removed from the germinating flat. Care was taken to
remove and small but complete section of the seedling's roots. Note the
compact and nice roots on the seedlings. You must be careful when
removing each seedling to protect the roots. Cutting or damaging the
roots can lead to damping off after removal.
The last photo shows the seedling after
being repotted into a one gallon. Sometimes we put seedlings into our
band containers ( 3 x 3 x 9 inches), but Veitchias typically
are large, strong seedlings and respond better in a larger pot. Of
course, after potting up seedlings, water immediately and put them into
filtered light. Over time, you can give them more sun exposure.
I hope this helps you have successful growing of your small new palms.

ENCEPHALARTOS FEROX
SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
STUNNING RED FEMALE CONE
GREEN HOLLY FERN - LIKE LEAFLETS
The first six photos below are of a 15g
Encephalartos ferox at the nursery that has put out an almost "Fire
Engine Red" female cone. I fear the real
color is not showing on this Webpage, but it's true red in real life.
This plant is for sale. The caudex size is 12.5 inches. I've found
that male cones don't have the same intensely red color. See last
photo. Leaves are green and leaflets are armed with small spines. Many
say the leaves look like a Holly Fern. Mature, this is a medium sized
cycad that likes either filtered light inland or some sun along the
coast. But, it's best not to grow it in full sun anywhere locally as
leaves tend to get a lime green color. Cold hardiness is down to the
low 20's F.
I have shown an assortment of other photos below including a smaller
plant at the nursery. We have a nice assortment of sizes available.
But, only mature, larger plants will cone.

MULE PALM
BUTIA X SYAGRUS (QUEEN PALM)
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE HYBRID PALM
SUPER COLD HARDY - TO ABOUT 16 DEGREES
TEN DAY SPECIAL SQUAT 15G 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 squat 15g plants. They are six to seven feet
tall. They are ready for planting.

BECCARIOPHOENIX ALFREDII
THE MADAGASCAR PLATEAU COCONUT PALM
MEDIUM SIZED SINGLE TRUNK PALM
HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER
TEN DAY SPECIAL ON 15G SIZED PLANTS
This species of exotic palm is from
the island of Madagascar. It is the third of three Beccariophoenix species
described from this palm-loaded country. It is so sought after
because some feel that it's the prettiest species of the three.
And, because it may possess the best cold hardiness. I've
documented other Beccariophoenix species tolerating
temperatures below 25 degrees at our nursery. So, this species may
survive in areas like San Francisco, Phoenix and Houston. It grows
to a height of about thirty feet and does not have a crown shaft.
Leaves are long and minimally curved. The crown of leaves are
densely placed. Growth rate is medium in most areas and along the
coast it likes sun. This species is hard to find. We're
putting our limited supplies of 15g plants on ten day special. As
you can see from the photos, they are good sized.

HYOPHORBE VERSCHAFELTII
THE SPINDLE PALM
BULGING TRUNK ABOVE THE GROUND!
MUCH BETTER FOR CO CAL THAN THE BOTTLE PALM!
TEN DAY SPECIAL
25G SIZE
If you live in Southern California, the chances are 99% that a Bottle
Palm (Hyophorbe
lagenicaulis)
will die in your garden or look really bad. They don't tolerate
our winter's cold. But, if you live along the coast, the chances
are 75% that you can successfully grow the Spindle Palm - plain and
simple. This species is more cold hardy than the Bottle Palm.
All our plants have been grown from seed at our nursery.
This species cannot be imported from FL because of Agriculture
restrictions.
It does have the bulging trunk, but this bulge is central in the trunk,
not at the base. And, the
Spindle Palm is easier to grow, gets taller and has a cigar shaped trunk
that is super cool. Mature height in 25 years is about 15 feet.
Peak height is about 20 feet in many decades. The mature plants
below are very old. This species loves sun. Cold hardiness
is just below a freeze. The 25 gallon size shown here are
fantastic - very large for their pots with heights overhead.

MEDIUM SIZE -THINNER TRUNK THAN CANARY
FAIRLY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
I don't know if you've looked
for this species, but the Cliff Date Palm is not so easy to
find. It is native to India and is about half the size of
the Canary Island Palm in terms of trunk diameter and mature
height. Also, the crown is much smaller. It is an
armed species and has other characteristics of Phoenix like the
induplicate leaflets (water held "in" - V shaped ). But,
many think this is the prettiest of all the Date Palms. It
typically gets fifteen to twenty-five feet tall. The
leaves are very pretty and green. The crown is not overly
large. Leaves curve downwards. Growth rate is
medium, it tolerates full sun and is cold hardy into the
mid-twenties or lower. Shown here are our 15 gallon size
which we are putting on sale.

ROYSTONEA REGIA
THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
LOVES SUN AND HEAT
PLANTS ON SPECIAL SIX FEET TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This pinnate New World species is another
favorite of mine. There are multiple species of Roystonea. The
most common and sought after species is the Cuban Royal, Roystonea
regia. Compared to the South American Royal Palm, Roystonea
regia's leaves hang down past (lower than) the midway point of the
crown. Roystonea oleracea's leaves stop at the "half moon"
point and don't hang down near the trunk.
Royal Palms love heat and sun. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees
F. They are fast growers. We have a pretty good supply
available of assorted sizes. Note how the base of the well grown Royal
Palm is quite swollen and fat. On up the trunk there is variable
swelling present. The plants I'm putting on special today are an easily
shipped size of 5 gallon but would take a tall box. They are about
6 feet tall in their pots. BTW, on the garden shots below, the
first two were taken in the San Diego area.

This species of Pritchardia never gets
overly large. The mature specimen shown in the last row of photos is
growing in San Diego and in many years has just reached the roof of a

fifteen feet in two decades. Trunk diameter is about eight inches.
Native to the Island of Kauai in HI, this species is quite rare and
grows at high elevation in locality. It tolerates full sun here if you
are not too far inland. Cold tolerance is about 26 to 27 degrees. The
last two pictures of this fruiting tree were taken by KM. We presently

Friend Jeff Marcus grew this species from seeds of this single plant
and, thirty years ago, referred to it as Dypsis "Stumpy". With the
assistance of John Dransfield at Kew Gardens in the U.K., it was later
given the name of Dypsis carlsmithii.
This is a medium sized, crown shafted pinnate
palm with upright leaves that are green and arch at their ends.
Leaves are keeled and the crown shaft is green with hints of orange.
It was called "stumpy" by Jeff because the trunk is thick compared to
many other Dypsis.
Trunks are ringed and 12 to 14 inches thick. Mature height is
twenty feet and it wants part day or full sun along the coast.
Cold tolerance is into the upper 20's F. Nowadays, the only source
of seeds for this species is domestic seeds so availability is very
limited. We are putting a small number of 5 gallon on sale.

CHAMAEDOREA STOLINIFERA
A SEMI-DWARF, SUCKERING SHADE PALM
PROPAGATED USUALLY ONLY BY DIVISIONS
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 5 GALLON PLANTS
This is a suckering dwarf to semi-dwarf simple leaf palm that is
native to Mexico. It suckers, rarely gets over six feet tall, has short
petioles and has small, entire leaves as shown here. The leaf surface
is a bit wavy and sometimes a bit of a mottled green color. And, the
new stems emerging do so in a totally different fashion. It is called "stolinifera"
because it forms new "stolons". These are vegetative stems that emerge
from the base of an older trunk. They then shoot laterally, sometimes
below the soil's surface, to reappear a short distance from the mother
stem. They look like "snakes" going over the soil surface, sometimes
diving into the dirt to root. This ability to shoot out new stolons
often creates a very wide mature clump.
Stems are a quarter inch thick. This is a filtered light species with a
cold hardiness into the low 20's F. This species is native to
mountainous areas in Mexico at about 2500 feet. It's a great garden
species. People are easily growing it in San Francisco and cooler
areas. We usually propagate vegetatively as hardly ever are seeds
available. I highly recommend this species.

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

DYPSIS LASTELLIANA
THE RED NECK PALM
NATIVE TO MADAGASCAR
TEN DAY SPECIAL SEEDLING SIZE
This species of single trunk Madagascar palm is
often mixed up with Dypsis leptocheilos, an ideal palm
species for Southern California. Dypsis lastelliana, which is a
near identical species, is a bigger single trunk species with a very
similar red, fuzzy crown shaft. But, it is harder to grow because
it is less cold tolerant. It gets to a height of about 25 feet and
has a thicker trunk with upright longer green leaves. It would do
best in the sun and is cold hardy down to perhaps a freeze. It is
also slower growing than the Teddy Bear Palm. For the best
locations in So Cal, it can be grown. There's one at the Catamaran
Hotel in Pacific Beach in San Diego that's been alive for years.

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII
A BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
NO SPINES ON THE LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL: BAND SIZE
This is a popular blue cycad from the Eastern Cape area of South Africa.
I say this because some people don't like spines and prickles. The
leaflets of this species are narrow with only a point at the end.
The leaves and crown are very neat and uniform. The nearest
species to this one is Encephalartos princeps. Trunks can get to
five feet, but one with two to three feet of trunk is very old.
Leaves average about four feet long and are sometimes strongly curled.
On occasion, they'll almost do a 180 or more degree re-curve. Leaf
color in sun is intensely blue like E. horridus. But,
you'll only see this color with full, hot sun. In shade or inside
a greenhouse they are often green. Cold hardiness is about 21 to
22 degrees F. In the desert only give it a few hours sun.
Next to Encephalartos horridus, this is the second most popular
cycad we grow.
Shown below are the band size which we're putting on sale. Plants
have three, sometimes four leaves. These are a piece of cake to
ship, but only within the U.S.

ENCEPHALARTOS
NUBIMONTANUS
SUPER RARE BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN
CYCAD
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE - TOLERATES
COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZED
SEEDLINGS
This species very rare blue
cycad is endemic to the Limpopo province, South Africa.
It can be found at high elevations in the mountains
(around one thousand meters), in low deciduous forest
and precipitous slopes and cliff (in partial and full
sun). The species is almost gone in the wild,
populations are small and scattered. It is among
the species located in the Transvaal region of South
Africa, and is highly sought after.
This is a small to medium sized species. Leaf
length can range between one to two meters, and stems
can reach a height of two and a half to three meters
with ancient plants. As the name would suggest,
the leaves tend to be a bluish gray, but they can vary
in that color from a blue/green color to a powdery white
and everything in-between. The leaflets and
petioles are mildly armed and can be almost completely
unarmed in some cases.
Plant
Size: This This cycad is a small
to medium sized species. Leaf length can range
between one to two meters, and stems can reach a height
of two and a half to three meters with ancient plants.
As the name would suggest, the leaves tend to be a
bluish gray, but they can vary in that color from a
blue/green color to a powdery white and everything
in-between.
In coastal and inland areas,
this plant prefers full sun, but can tolerate partial
sun. For desert areas, I could recommend partial
sun or filtered light. We are offering strong
seedlings in band containers at a discount. The
last row of photos shows larger nursery plants.
