ASTROCARYUM MEXICANUM
SINGLE TRUNK SPINY PALM
VERY RARE PALM TO FIND
SPINES ON TRUNKS AND STEMS
Astrocaryum is a genus
of spiny palms that are native to areas extending from Mexico, down
through Central America and into some Caribbean Islands. Some are
single trunk while others sucker. Astrocaryum
mexicanum is remarkable because it doesn't get too
tall and is probably the only species of the genus that can be grown in
Southern California. Trunks, leaf stalks, flower stalks and even
the seed clusters can be spiny. Leaves are green with some silver
color to their undersides.
The last row of pictures here shows how leaves are silver underneath and
the entire plant can appear a silver-green. It is very attractive
and tropical appearing and almost impossible to find at a nursery.
When you get one, I'd recommend growing it in filtered light.
Mature height is typically under ten feet. The first specimen
shown has about ten feet of spiny trunk and would be considered very
large for a garden. The second plant is the last row is more
typical of what you might see in a garden. We occasionally have
small plants for sale when we can get seeds to germinate. But,
they sell quickly and availability is sporadic. Cold tolerance is
probably just below a freeze.

ASSORTED PRITCHARDIA SPECIES
THE HAWAIIAN
PALM
OLD AND NICE
SPECIMENS IN LARGER POTS
MULTIPLE
SPECIES AVAILABLE
Pritchardia are a tropical fan palm. Most
do not get overly large and many are under fifteen feet tall.
Along the coast they tolerate full sun. There are about 25
species with habitats ranging from Hawaii to some South Pacific
islands. We only grow the Hawaiian varieties as they do the
best in Southern California where most will take coastal full
sun. Or, grow them in part day sun. Cold tolerance is in the
mid-twenties or a bit lower.
I'm showing you three different species that are representative
of this genus. all are between ten and fifteen years old and in
25 gallon pots or 24 inch boxes. All have some degree of
trunk. On pair are over 14 feet tall in their pots. We have a
pretty good supply of such large specimen Pritchardiuas.
Almost all are outdoor grown in sun. Leaves on some species are
totally flat. Others have a wave to the leaf. Some are colored
on the undersides. There's a perfect Hawaiian Palm for anyone.
These are way too big and tall for mail order but can be
trucked. We have about eight different species of Pritchardia
in these sizes.

HYOPHORBE VERSCHAFELTII
THE SPINDLE PALM WITH ITS CIGAR SHAPED TRUNK
EXOTIC, UNUSUAL APPEARING AND RARE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G 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 15 gallon size which
we’ve put on special.
REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON $225
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE $195

BRAHEA ARMATA
THE MEXICAN BLUE FAN PALM
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE – INTENSELY BLUE
DROUGHT AND EXTREME SUN TOLERANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL
LARGE 15 GALLON 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 prefers dry heat and is a
challenge to grow in humid areas. Therefore it’s an ideal desert
palm. Mature height is
typically 20 to 25 feet with a medium sized sem-smooth trunk.
Flowers extend far beyond the leaves.
Fruits are black and small when mature.
These 15g 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.
REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON $195
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE $170
Just mention this Blog Special to get this nice discount. On
the mature trees below, note the prominent blue color of the leaves.
This is the hallmark of this species.

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
TEN DAY SPECIAL $185

TRITHRINAX SCHIZOPHYLLA
THE CARANDILLA PALM
BLUE-GREEN SUCKERING FAN PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This rare and hard to find species of South American fan palm was
previously known as Trithrinax biflabellata. But, the
latter was later found to be spineless and the two were given separate
species status. It is native to Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia.
T. schizophylla is definitely a spiny palm with long
needle-like spines on the trunk. It is not quite as blue as campestris and
is usually a suckering palm but sometimes is single trunk. Mature
height is six to fifteen feet. Although the leaf is a rigid leaf,
the leaflet tips are softer than the pungent T. campestris.
Leaf color is blue-green, not nearly as blue as campestris.
It is a very cold hardy species that tolerates temperatures down to at
least 18 degrees F. On sale are very old, outdoor grown 15g
plants. I think we've been growing these for about 12 to 14 years.
It likes full sun and loves heat. It is possible to mail order
this larger 15g size but it'd take a large box.
REGULAR PRICE OLD 15G PLANTS $225
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE 15G $195

LIVISTONA LANUGINOSA
THE CAPE RIVER
LIVISTONA
– THE WOOLY LIVISTONA
TALL FAN PALM WITH THIN TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL
15 GALLON SIZE
This Australian fan palm is a very interesting species and also known as
the "Wooly Livistona". It is apparently threatened in
habitat. In the northeastern part of Australia it lives at
an altitude of 200 meters. It reaches a height of over fifty
feet with a trunk that’s about a foot thick.
Leaves are bluish or blue-green, stiff and waxy.
Leaf stems have barbs and leaves extend out six to eight feet.
It is most similar to Livistona
marie but,
by report, has larger purple fruit.
It is one of the most rare species of this genus.
It enjoys full hot sun. Exact cold tolerance is unclear but
probably into the mid-twenties F.
We have a limited number of 15g which we’re putting on special.
REGULAR PRICE 15G SIZE $225

CHAMAEDOREA ELATIOR
A CLIMBING SHADE PALM
TOTALLY TRANSFORMS ITS APPEARANCE
LARGE SIMPLE LEAVES WHEN SMALL
CLIMBING PINNATE PALM WHEN MATURE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species of Chamaedorea is
native to the Atlantic side of Mexico and various countries in Central
America. It is the only palm that can climb without the use of
spines. It is single trunk with a rather narrow stem. Leaves
are long and, at their ends, sharply turn to form a grabbing hook with
the terminal leaf. This attaches to whatever the plant can grab.
If one were to use this species in the garden, one must plant it
adjacent to an overhead tree or structure that can be climbed.
It's quite attractive when young as it has as it has large, entire
juvenile leaves as shown below. It is extremely seductive at this
age. But, this will change over time. The last photos by RPS
shows this species planted at the base of a large woody tree. It
has regular pinnate leaves and wild climb that tree. We presently
have this species available in smaller, simple leaf plants. And,
this particular variety we have hold onto that solid leaf much longer
than the ordinary variety. It is extremely hard to find for sale.

SYAGRUS BOTRYOPHORA
THE PATI PALM or SLENDER QUEEN PALM
INTERESTING THINNER TRUNK PALM WIDELY SEPARATED LEAVES WHEN YOUNG
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This is a rare species of single trunk, pinnate palm from lowland
Atlantic Brazil. It has been called one of the top ten most
beautiful palms in the world.
It is fairly difficult to find. It gets quite tall, over
forty feet, yet has a surprisingly thin trunk of less than twelve
inches. Leaves are about ten feet long and come off the trunk at a
45 degree angle and then arch toward the ground. The leaves are
keeled and green in color. The trunk is prominently ringed.
Given ample heat and lack of severe cold, this is a very fast
growing species. It is known to put on four feet of trunk a year
or more. If you look at the mature garden plant below, you will
see many leaves that are green and still attached to the trunk over a
long trunk distance, almost forming a "ladder-like" appearance to the
leaves where one could easily climb the trunk. This may be the
result of its rapid growth. When mature the leaves are more
tightly grouped. The trunk surface is fibrous but turns smooth
over time with a gray-brown color. Shown here are some 5g plants
(spring repots) that we’re putting on special. This species does
want full sun or perhaps filtered light with the opportunity to grow
into full sun. Cold tolerance is uncertain, but felt to be in the
mid 20's F. One last comment. This species has been called
the "Slender Queen Palm" and the "Pati Palm".

DYPSIS ROBUSTA
AKA DYPSIS "WHITE STEM"
ONE OF LARGEST MADAGASCAR PALMS
THICK, LIGHT COLORED STEM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
This single trunk, plumose pinnate palm is native to Madagascar and one
of the largest palm species on that island. It produces a very thick,
light colored tan trunk with long, somewhat fluffy pinnate leaves. Older
specimens are present in the deceased Mardi Darian Garden in Vista, CA.
He called it "White Stem". Mature height is about 40 feet. Leaves
curve and have irregular width to the green leaflets. Crown width is
about 20 feet. This is a full sun palm with a cold tolerance of about a
freeze or hopefully, a little below this as well. It is being grown by
many enthusiasts and is rare to find. The plants on special are spring
repots into 5g pots.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE 5G $80
Remember to mention this 10 day special at the time of purchase. Sale
plants are shown in the first six photos. The plants are about a

ARCHONTOPHOENIX BEATRICAE
PROBABLY A VARIETY OF A. ALEXANDRAE
SWOLLEN BASE OF TRUNK
STEP OFFS AT THE GROWTH RINGS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
Archontophoenix Beatricae has
always been a bit of a problem for taxonomists - whether it's
truly a species or a variety. Some feel it's a variety of A.
alexandrae. I won't get into that argument here. But, the
plants shown below came from seed from a A.
beatricae. Note the very swollen trunk base. It flairs
out. It is also known to have notches or "step offs" at the
growth rings. I don't have a good photo close up of the
latter. These plants need to be repotted or go into the
ground. They can take coastal sun. Cold hardiness is about 25
degrees F. The 5g size singles are on sale but we may have a
few multiples we'd offer at the same price.

CYPHOPHOENIX ELEGANS
THE ELEGANT PALM
MEDIUM SIZE – THIN TRUNK – CROWN SHAFTED
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
This species is from New Caledonia in the northern part of the island.
It is of similar height to C. nucele and has the same trunk
diameter. The crown shaft on C. elegans is slightly more
swollen than that of C. nucele. The crown shaft is also
more of a green color, but can show silver. The leaflets are
thinner and, as you can see, the leaves curve downward as opposed to the
stiff, upright leaves of nucele. Another important
difference between the two is that the leaves of C. elegans are
keeled whereas the leaves of nucele are more flat. Of note,
on both species the bare petiole (stem with no leaves) is very short.
This helps you identify this genus.
Shown here are our 2 gallon sized plants that I photographed recently.
Also shown are lots of photos of mature plants. This species
should be started in filtered light and be allowed to grow into some sun
if you live along the coast. Inland full sun is too harsh for this
species. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.
REGULAR PRICE 2 GALLON $75
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $65

CYPHOPHOENIX ALBA – PREVIOUSLY
VEILLONIA ALBA
GORGEOUS & SUPER RARE NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
MEDIUM HEIGHT – WHITE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This single trunk, white crown-shafted palm comes from the island of New
Caledonia. There is grows in locations from sea level to 2000
feet. It is a medium sized plant best known for its white crown
shaft. Known for decades as a monotypic species "Veillonia
alba",
in the past decade taxonomists decided renamed it Cyphophoenix alba.
Trunk diameter is thin, about six inches. Height is about
forty feet, sometimes taller. This species is known to grow in
better areas of Southern California. The crown shaft is covered
with either white or red-brown tomentum and is striking. Prominent
rings are seen on the trunk. The leaves are green and overall, the
crown is a medium size. I would recommend growing this is filtered
light and let it work its way into a bit more sun. Cold tolerance
is into the mid-twenties F. As this species is super rare and hard
to find, if you get one you have to be careful with it. It would
be difficult to replace is you lose it through poor culture.
We have put 5 gallon on sale.
They are Spring repots so we’re offering a nice discounted price.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $85

SABAL BRAZORIENSIS
RARE DWARF FAN PALM NATIVE TO TEXAS
NATURAL HYBRID BETWEEN TWO SABAL SPECIES
TEN DAY
SPECIAL BAND SIZED SEEDLINGS
Sabal brazoriensis
is a naturally occurring dwarf hybrid fan palm that was discovered in
Brazoria County, Texas. It is a cross between
Sabal minor
(a small dwarf species) and Sabal
palmetto. Identifying this hybrid
puzzled taxonomists until genetic studies found that (in the long ago
past) these two species hybridized. It's location presently is known
only to occur in Brazoria County. Leaves are green and very large for
its height. Mature heights range from ten to twenty feet. It is
extremely slow growing - so it'll be short for quite a while. Leaves
are very costopalmate - as opposed to other species. Trunks are thick.
We germinated and are growing some of this sought after species.
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE $45

crown shaft is long and a prominent green. The base of the trunk
is swollen just above the ground. Often, you'll also see bulging
in the mid-trunk. It is a full sun plant and some are growing it
in desert areas with success - in full sun. Cold tolerance is like
a King Palm, about 25 degrees F. The band size on sale have a few
juvenile leaves. There's a
shortage of this species on the California market. These are easy
to mail order.

CYCAS PANZHIHUAENSIS
RARE GREEN CHINESE CYCAD
EXCELLENT COLD HARDINESS
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT AS SHOWN
This is a rare green cycad from China. It is different than the
Sago Palm - smaller and, to me, more attractive. Leaf color is
green to blue green. It tolerates coastal sun and is cold hardy
into the upper teens F. Some feel it's one of the most cold hardy
cycads in the world - even better than the Sago Palm. Mature
height should be about eight feet. They can sucker, but much less
than the Sago. They also take up less garden space than the Sago
Palm. Leaflets are narrow without armor except on the tips
(pointed).
The citrus pot shown in the first five photos has a caudex of 3.5
inches. We also have larger and smaller plants for sale. We
are putting plants of this size (2.5 to 3.5 inches) on special.
These can be easily mail ordered.
The first to purchase of course will get the larger plants.

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 MUNCHII
A BLUE TO BLUE-GREEN CYCAD
RARE AND VERY ATTRACTIVE CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL GOOD 1 GALLON SIZE
Native to Mozambique, this small to medium sized cycad grows in scrub
forest among rocks and boulders. It is distinguished by its blue to
blue-green color and by having leaflets that are prominently spiny. In
my experience, leaf color is sometimes very blue, other times
blue-green. You'll sometimes hear the description as "soapy green" to
describe the leaves. Overall, the leaf color is variable and I've shown
several photos here to demonstrate this. I've seen specimens that are
as blue as an Encephalartos horridus.
Trunk size is usually under three feet. Upright leaves are about four
feet long or less. Leaves are keeled and leaflets are lanceolate and
spiny. This species likes full sun and is cold tolerant into the low
20's F. The one gallon on sale are a good, strong one gallon plant.
They came from parents domestically that both had extreme blue color.
These can be mail ordered but not outside the U.S.

CYCAS TANSACHANA
MEDIUM SIZE CYCAD FROM THAILAND
THINK TRUNK WITH SWOLLEN BASE
VERY RARE GREEN LEAF CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
Cycas tansachana
is a medium sized green leaf cycad that is from
south-central Thailand at an elevation of about 1000 feet. There is
lives on mountainous outcroppings. It was named after a friend, Kampoon
Tansacha of Non-Nooch Botanical Garden. Heights can read 20 feet but
are generally shorter. Trunks are thin with a swollen base up to 3 feet
across. Leaves are green and flat in cross section. This is a rare
cycad to find. In most areas it can take part or possibly full day
sun. We are offering a limited number of older plants in citrus pot
containers on sale. Caudexes are four inches thick and age is about 12
years. The habitat photo is c/o TS at RPS.

AGAVE ATTENUATA BLUE
NICE 15 GALLONS WITH TRUNK
A TRUE "DR. SEUSS" PLANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
For quite a few years we've been offering this blue variety of Agave
attenuata. This is an easy
to grow species of semi-dwarf succulent that rarely gets over six feet
tall. Mature, they usually have
a three to four inch diameter trunk with a huge head of stiff blue-green
leaves without a sharp point at the end. The tips of the leaves are
pliable and safe to the touch. These plants are quite unique and
attractive. I've found that, if you remove the basal suckers, they seem
not to go into blossom. When this species blossoms, that blossoming
trunk will die. So, if you get some of these, trim off the suckers.
They take full coastal sun but in inland areas prefer part day sun.

They are cold hardy into the mid to upper 20’s F.

BRAZILIAN RED CLOAK
MEGASKEPASMA ERYTHROCHLAMYS
AMAZING PROMINENTLY RED LARGE SHRUB
TEN DAY
SPECIAL 1 GALLON SIZE
The Brazilian Red Cloak is super rare and
hard to find. This is probably because most propagation is by cuttings
only. And, you have to have a mother plant to do this. We obtained two
mother plants about eight years ago and have established them here in
Encinitas. We began propagating about a year ago. This is considered a
"bush" but can reach heights of eight feet or more. It blooms red when
the weather is more cool - November to April. The terminal leaves turn
red and hide the small white blossoms within (thus the "cloak" in the
name). The red colored photos are of our mother plants. These can be
mail ordered but you have to be in at least a 9A environment to grow
it. Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze. We only have a few for
sale.

They have thin trunks and can take a freeze with some damage.
Severe cold will kill them. Leaf color varies from pastels to reds

CYPHOPHOENIX NUCELE
RARE, ELEGANT, THIN TRUNK PALM
UPRIGHT LEAVES
FROM NEW CALEDONIA
Shown here is a gorgeous example of one
of the more beautiful of the New Caledonian palms. Cyphophoenix
nucele is from Lifou Island, gets to a height of twenty-five to
thirty feet and takes strong filtered light or part day sun in most
coastal areas. It has a thin trunk with lots of silver color. Leaves
tend to but upright as opposed to C. elegans where the leaves
are more arched. The last three pictures are from the late Mardi
Darian's garden in Vista, CA. You'll notice how healthy it looks in
strong filtered light. The nursery plant shown is a 15g but we also
have 5g plants. I'd estimate the cold tolerance into the mid to upper
twenties F. Very limited numbers are available. This plant can be
shipped or delivered if needed. It was grown from seed and is about
eight years old.

CRYOSOPHILA STAURACANTHA
THE STAR PALM
MEDIUM SIZE, WHITE UNDERSIDE TO LEAVES
A VERY COOL PALM -
PRETTY COLD HARDY
This single trunk fan palm is native to
regions stretching from Mexico through Central America. In the
genus, there are multiple species. All have prominent white powder
on the underside of the leaflets as shown here. Trunks are narrow.
Often you'll see what look like "spines" on the trunk. But, these
are a different structure - they are modified root spines. They
are quite interesting looking. Right on the coast, this species
can take full or part day sun. Most would grow it in bright
filtered light. Expect heights ranging from ten feet to well over
twenty feet. Cold hardiness is into the upper twenties F.
Shown here are photos of the 15g size at the nursery. Notice the
white backs to the leaflets. Also shown are photographs of a Cryosophila unknown
species to show the typical appearance and trunk covered with "spines".
We usually have an assortment of sizes available.

CHAMAEDOREA POCHUTLENSIS
IMPOSSIBLE PLANT TO FIND
RECENT ARRIVAL - DIVISIONS OF GARDEN SPECIMEN
IN OUR HISTORY, ONLY HAD THIS PALM SEVERAL TIMES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON PLANTS
It was over thirty years before I could once again offer this rare
species for sale. It is a suckering Chamaedorea, a type of
"Bamboo Palm" because it suckers and has narrow trunks like a Bamboo.
It is rumored that this species was used to make the famous Horace
Anderson hybrid "Irving Cantor". A friend of the nursery had an
old specimen clump in his garden and offered us some divisions from that
clump. Last year, two division were dug and consequently sold.
Recently got in two new divisions. They are in 15g & 25g pots.
This species hasn't been offered for sale for decades. Seeds are
never available. It is native to the Pacific mountain regions of
Mexico and prefers understory conditions. Mature height is ten to
fifteen feet with a trunk diameter of about an inch. Canes have
prominent rings. Leaf color is green. Over the decades I have had
many calls of people seeking this species and have never had it.
This year I can sell a few plants. The last three photos are c/o
unknown contributors at PalmPedia.

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 Chamaedorea. It
gets to a mature height of about 8 feet. It is a great patio plant
or can be grown inside. It is also one of the more cold hardy
types of Chamaedorea, only being beat out by C. radicalis.
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, tolerating temperatures in the upper teens F. The 15
gallon size are fruiting size and on sale.

VEITCHIA SPIRALIS
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM VANUATU
EXOTIC APPEARING CROWN SHAFTED PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL SEVEN & 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 seven and fifteen gallon sizes on

SYAGRUS CORONATA
THE LICURY PALM
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE - BLUE-GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY
SPECIAL HARD TO FIND 15G SIZE
This single trunk Syagrus is native to
Brazil. It gets to an average height of 15 feet. The trunk is a bit
stout for a Syagrus and often has retained old leaf bases at
the top of the bare trunk. Leaves are gray-green in color and somewhat
plumose. Growth rate is medium. It wants full sun and is cold hardy
perhaps into the mid twenties F. or possibly a bit lower. Many feel
that, apart from the common Queen Palm, this is one of the more cold
hardy of the genus. But, it's difficult to find, especially with any

PHOENIX RUPICOLA
THE CLIFF DATE PALM
|
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.

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

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.

BRAHEA SUPER SILVER
NEW AND RARE SPECIES FROM MEXICO
THINNER TRUNK THAN BRAHEA ARMATA
JUST AS BLUE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
Availability of seeds for this super desirable blue Brahea has
been very sporadic and rarely do we have it in inventory.
It resembles a Brahea armata but is faster growing, gets
taller and has a much thinner trunk. It is native to Mexico. Although
it may not show the blue when young, as a mature tree the leaves are
very blue. The exact cold
tolerance of this full sun species is unknown.
But, I it’s anything like the common Mexican Blue Fan palm, it
should be approaching the mid teens F.
So, if you are in a cold area or love blue palms, you have to try
one of these. I prefers heat and full sun and is obviously an ideal
desert palm. We’re putting 5
gallon plants on sale. Easy to
ship. We may have a few 15g plants as well.

CARPENTERIA ACUMINATA
TALL, VERY THIN TRUNK
NATIVE TO NORTHERN AUSTRALIA
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 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. We’re putting 5 gallon plants on sale.
This palm is very attractive.
The 5 gallon size are not overly big so we’re offering a nice
price on them.

ROYSTONEA REGIA
THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
PICTURES SHOWING THIS SPECIES
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. If you can grow a
King Palm, the chances are good that you can grow a Royal Palm.
They are fast growers. Note how the base of the well grown Royal
Palm is quite swollen and fat. On up the trunk there is variable
swelling present. One picture here shows a really massive
base on the Royal. The plants I'm putting on special today are an
easily shipped size of 5 gallon - about four to five feet in the pot.

DIOON SPINULOSUM
A CUSTOMER FAVORITE CYCAD
TROPICAL APPEARING, GREEN LEAVES, ELEGANT
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD AND LARGE 1 GALLON PLANTS
Although you can't tell from the photos here, this cycad species can get
quite tall. I've seen photos from habitat which, after a hundred
years, can get to be over 20 feet of trunk. But, in most garden
applications, it’s rare to see one with more than 3 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 have some 10 year old one gallon plants with about 3 inch
caudexes. We’re putting them
on sale.

DIOON MEROLAE
EXOTIC MEXICAN CYCAD WITH SILVER-GREEN LEAVES
DIFFICULT TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE CITRUS POT PLANTS
This is a slow growing New World cycad species that comes from Mexico.
It is very attractive. One of the things that is particularly nice
about this species is that the crown size is compact and not that
large. For this reason, it fits into a small sunny location in the
garden where no other plant would work. Its leaves are a silver-green
in color and it holds many leaves. An extremely old plant might have a
foot or two of trunk. In the wild there are specimens that are possibly
a thousand years old with many meters of trunk, often leaning over
toward the ground. But, from a practical point of view, it is a small
plant. If you grow this species, you'll probably find that it will take
fifty years or more to get three feet of trunk.
Cold hardiness is into the low 20's F. and it
prefers full sun except for harsh desert climates. We offer many sizes
of this species from seedlings up to trunked plants that are many
decades old. For mail orders, this is a perfect size to ship. We can
easily ship the plants on sale or most other sizes we have.
The last pictures show local garden specimens in Southern
California. The largest plant is
estimated to be 200 years old. I
hope that you like this cycad; it's one of my favorites. For upscale
landscaping, nothing beats it. The plants on sale are in citrus
pot containers and have caudexes of approximately 2.5 to 3 inches.

SPECIAL 15 GALLON PLANTS
We are a tropical fruit nursery but, we appreciate how popular
growing bananas is. So, we're offering a banana cultivar that

hardiness and it makes edible bananas! The Cavendish Dwarf
cultivar hardly ever gets above six feet tall. We recently got in
some huge and very nice 15 gallon plants that had been grown outdoors.
Expect a mature height of six or seven feet.
This banana wants full sun in most areas. Cold hardiness is
at least to the low 20's F. If cold does kill the growth above the
ground, it typically comes back when weather warms. And, yes it
does produce edible bananas. In fact, this variety of banana is
often sold in organic farmer's markets.

COCONUT PALM
COCOS NUCIFERA
A GORGEOUS TROPICAL PALM
BRIGHT YELLOW & LARGE FRUIT
VERY DIFFICULT GROW IN SO CAL
MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS!
There is hardly a palm more beautiful than
Cocos nucifera, the Coconut Palm. Although no one knows for sure
it's original native habitat, presently they are found naturalized in
tropical areas around the world. They tolerate heat and sun, live right
near salt containing oceans and get to a height of about 40 feet. The
yellow colored fruits are produced in abundance. You might recognize
store bought edible coconuts that are brown. These are the seeds and
within the thick fibrous husk of the fruit. From a cultural point of
view, this palm doesn't have a lot of cold tolerance.
It succumbs with temperatures below the upper
thirties F. There are few if any Coconuts flourishing in Southern CA.
All the photos here were taken in the Miami, FL area.
If you really like the looks of the Coconut Palm
and live in Southern California, it's best to pick a "look-alike"
species that can grow here. We offer these
alternatives for sale as it's just not ethical to sell a Coconut to a
customer for outdoor growing, knowing it will die for them.
CONTACT US FOR SUBSTITUTE SPECIES THAT MAYBE YOU
CAN GROW. ALL PHOTOS BELOW ARE THE CLASSIC "COCONUT PALM".

ROYSTONEA REGIA
THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
LARGE SPECIMEN SIZED PLANTS AVAILABLE

This pinnate New World species is another favorite of many
enthusiasts. It is native to
Florida, Cuba and some surrounding areas.
It is now well known that this palm can be grown in many areas of
Southern California. If you
can grow a King Palm, there's a good chance you can grow a Royal Palm.
There are multiple species of Roystonea. The most common and
sought after species is the Cuban Royal, Roystonea
regia. Royal
Palms love heat and sun. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F.
They are fast growers.
I have an associate who’s company is offering very large Royal
Palms with trunk heights of 15 to 25 feet.
These are field grown in desert type areas of Southern
California. These growers
have become experts on digging and establishing their plants.
They are sold in an assortment of trunk sizes and are all single
trunk specimens. They are
sold either bagged with a large root ball or in large boxes.
They have been successfully dug and planted in many enthusiasts
yards or on commercial sites.
If you are interested in learning more about availability and
prices, email me directly at my email address on this webpage.

one sees Howea belmoreana and Hedyscepe. The Kentia does
in the garden here in So California and is known as one of the best
choices as an interior palm. Remember it can get tall over many years
so you’d do best if you have high ceilings. It is a single trunk
species that is often grown as a "multiple" with several plants in the
same pot. It does NOT sucker. Along the coast it takes full
sun or part day sun. Far inland, filtered light is needed.
Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F. Mature height in sun is
usually about thirty feet in 30 years. We’re putting very nice
fifteen gallon plants on special – both singles and multiples in each
pot. I’m showing both below.
These plants are too big for standard mail order but can be
delivered. The garden shots are all of single specimens.

BRAHEA EDULIS
THE GUADALUPE FAN PALM
FULL SUN FAN PALM – SLOW GROWING
NEVER TOO TALL – COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This is not what I'd call a super rare species of palm, but for
some reason they are near impossible to find. We have a limited
number of nice 15g plants for sale.
Brahea edulis is a slow growing, shorter fan palm that is native to an island
just off the coast of Mexico south of San Diego, CA. This is
Guadalupe Island. It is
found natively nowhere else. The trunk is medium sized and mature
trees obtain a maximum height of under fifteen feet. The colony of
plants shown here are located near Mission Bay Park in San Diego.
I'd estimate they are about forty years old. This species likes
full sun, can tolerate desert conditions and is cold hardy to the mid to
upper teens F. They are also reasonably drought tolerant.
Like other Brahea, large
specimens are very difficult to successfully transplant. Presently
we are offering very nice 15g plants. These can be shipped by UPS
but it’d take a big box and be expensive.

SYNECANTHUS FIBROSA
THE JELLYBEAN PALM
A FEW 20 YEAR OLD PLANTS FOR SALE

stem with attractive yellow seeds. It is a filtered light species.
There is another suckering species in this genus, S.
warscewiczianus.
Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze or a bit less. Mature
height is about twelve to fifteen feet. The plants we have on sale

CHAMAEDOREA GLAUCIFOLIA
MEDIUM HEIGHT, FLUFFY GREEN LEAVES
TAKES FULL SUN ALONG THE COAST
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15G PLANTS
This desirable palms can be used as an understory
palm or full sun palm along the coast. It is a medium height,
single trunk Chamaedorea that's been grown by enthusiasts for
decades. It is very similar to Chamaedorea plumosa but
has more of a glaucous powder on the crown shaft and leaf bases.
Chamaedorea glaucifolia is native to Mexico and is very fast
growing. It gets its Latin name from that white colored powder.
Its leaves are multi-ranked and plumose. The leaflets are very thin.
Trunk size is about one to one and a half inches thick. I've found
this species peaks out at about fifteen feet height. It is
prolific in seed formation and loves to hybridize with other
nearby Chamaedorea species. Like other thin trunked palms, we many
times grow three or five plants close together. It looks much
better as a small colony. It's cold tolerance is into the
mid-twenties. I'd recommend trying this species because it is so
different from most shade-loving palms. We’re putting on Special our
15g size. Some of these plants are nearly ten feet tall!
They are big for their containers.

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.

DICTYOSPERMA FURFURACEUM
NOW KNOWN AS
DICTYOSPERMA ALBUM VARIETY CONJUGATUM
SMALLER SPECIES, WHITE-SILVER CROWN SHAFT
NEAR EXTINCT IN THE WILD
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON PLANTS
Among taxonomists, Dictyosperma is known as a "monotypic" genus.
This means there is only one species. We enthusiasts have always
been troubled by this as, when we look at specimen plants, they are so
different. But, this is what it is. Older varietal names
such as "rubrum" and "furfuraceum" are out. Now the
taxonomist say there are three varieties of Dictyosperma album -
and the prior variety called "rubrum" apparently is grouped with
the aureum present type variety.
If this is confusing, realize it's always been confusing and I totally
agree. But, remember that taxonomists have to make a living by
re-naming things.
Currently there are three varieties of D. album:
Dictyosperma album variety album
Dictyosperma album variety aureum
Dictyosperma album variety conjugatum
What we've known as D. furfuraceum is now called D. album
variety conjugatum. This is the smallest species of the group and
gets to mature heights of ten to fifteen feet. It's from Round
Island. Reports are that it is critically endangered with only a
few plants remaining in the wild. It has a definite white powdery
color to leaf stems and to the crown shaft.
It's near impossible to find the Dictyosperma conjugatum for
sale. Previously we had some old specimens but those are long
gone. We're offering you plants in 2 gallon pots presently on special.
These were repotted this winter.

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.

DYPSIS ALBOFARINOSA
CLUMPING MADAGASCAR PALM
WHITE CROWN SHAFTS - VERY RARE
PLANTS SHOWN HERE FROM DOMESTIC SEEDS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 1G SIZE
This clumping medium sized palm is native to Madagascar. It has
previously been called "Dypsis species white petiole". It
was formally described by Don Hodel about fifteen years ago. It is
most closely related to Dypsis baronii and known for its
prominently white crown shafts. Leaves are drooping with rather
fine leaflets. Trunks average about two inches diameter.
Plant height is a maximum of approximately fifteen feet. It can be grown
in full coastal sun but should be allowed to grow up and into the sun.
So, starting in bright filtered light is best. Exact cold
hardiness is uncertain but most likely in the mid-twenties F. range.
I am putting one gallons on a Ten Day Special. These are from
domestic seeds and about 3 years old.

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA
THE PURPLE CROWN SHAFT KING PALM
VERY BEAUTIFUL - GOOD GROWER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 1 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

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 NICE 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 about 4 inches. They are good sized for their

ENCEPHALARTOS HORRIDUS
SUPER BLUE SO AFRICAN CYCAD
MOST POPULAR CYCAD - LOVES SUN ALONG THE COAST
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZED SEEDLINGS
By far, the most popular rare cycad we sell is Encephalartos
horridus.
I don't know if it's the gnarly, spiny leaflets that thrills people.
Or, the smaller size. Or, the intense blue color. But,
somehow people love this plant and we can hardly keep them in stock.
It is slow growing, has prominent barbs on the edge of the leaflets and
has a small crown width - usually five feet or less. A two foot
trunk would be about it's maximum caudex height. It can sucker.
Along the coast it likes full sun - in the desert, a few hours.
Cold hardiness is about 22 degrees F. Surprisingly, this is a hard
species to find. We’re
offering seedlings from last year’s seed crop on sale.
These can be mail ordered. Of note, not all of our

and has many forms. There is even a spineless leaflet form.
It likes full sun and is cold hardy to about 22 degrees F. These

like the Kahili Ginger. Mature height of these
plants is six to seven feet. The leaves are prominently variegated
with lighter green and yellow. Blossoms are long lived, lasting at
least a month. Blossoms occur during the summer. I think
they do best in part day sun although right on the coast folks grow them
in full sun. Cold tolerance is one of the better for ginger,
probably the mid-twenties F. The 15 gallons on sale have several

LEPIDOZAMIA PEROFFSKYANA
USER FRIENDLY CYCAD
LARGE GREEN CYCAD FOR FILTERED LIGHT OR COASTAL SUN
NO SPINES WHATSOEVER!
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 cycad species that has
absolutely no spines - none of the leaflets, none one the stems. A
leaf brushing across your face feels no more intense than brushing past
a Maiden Hair Fern. We have a huge selection of this species. I am
going to show you an assortment of plants. 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. Our stock on
this species includes 1 gallon, 5 gallon, 15g, 25g, 45g and 24 inch
boxes. It is an extremely easy cycad to add to the garden and
always makes an impressive and good sized show.

surface is wavy. The first plants shown are very old 20g.
You can see they've formed trunk with some aerial roots. Next I'm
showing our 5g. This is the size most people buy. Cold
hardiness is into the mid-twenties F. Flowers are red, as are the
tiny seeds. These plants are real winners.

This South American suckering fan palm comes from Argentina and Uruguay.
From these locations, you might suspect it could have quite a bit of

been sparse to nonexistent. And, as a young plant, it is quite
slow growing. This is a perfect selection for someone who lives in
an interior area with lots of heat. Overall height of this species is up
to twenty feet. Multiple stems are produced, but usually the
number is just several. Leaves are small, typically about two feet
wide. The segments of the leaves are pointed and sharp. This

ARCHONTOPHOENIX "TERACARPA"
THE BEST KING PALM EVER!
TALL, ROBUST AND GRANDIOSE KING PALM
LEAVES DON’T BROWN TIP AND ARE DARK GREEN
TEN DAY
SPECIAL 15G 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
Sometimes it throws a new light red leaf as shown below
REGULAR PRICE 15G $200
TEN DAY SPECIAL
15G $180
Remember: Mention this Special to get
your discount when you purchase! The garden photos below shows how
spectacular, strong and powerful this species is. It towers above
regular King Palms and is a darker, prettier green color.
The shorter King Palms to the right
of the teracarpa
are regular Archontophoenix
cunninghamiana -

TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
For about a decade we've been offering this very desirable and sought
after variety of Butia that has a nice blue color. Otherwise, it's
quite similar to the regular gray-green Pindo Palm. The problem is
we always run out of them. To satisfy our customer demand, we

limited numbers. We are offering them at one of the best prices
we've ever offered. This palm loves full hot sun and can take down
to 15 degrees F. So, almost all of you can grow this palm.
The row of three palms in the last row are being grown in San
Diego, CA, about a half mile from the Bay.

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.

CHAMAEDOREA BENZEI
RARE
SINGLE TRUNK CHAMAEDOREA
LIKE C.
RADICALIS ON
STEROIDS!
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
pot - so there's a chance to set some seeds. These can be mail
ordered. I'm also putting them on special. Please appreciate
that this is a super rare species and is seldom offered for sale.
Note that the photos below show several larger plants from the nursery.

DYPSIS HETEROMORPHA
HIGHLAND SUGAR CANE PALM
MEDIUM SIZED SUCKERING PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
TRISTICHOUS ARRANGEMENT OF THE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This relatively recent introduction to the palm market is from
Madagascar. It is a suckering palm that gets to a height of about
twelve feet with 4 inch thick trunks. Leaves are green, keeled and
recurved at their ends. The proximal leaf stems and the crown
shaft are covered with red colored hairs. Leaflets are thin and
prominently veined. It is a sun palm along the coast and has a
cold hardiness below a freeze, probably into the upper twenties F.
Most enthusiasts have found this palm to be a good grower. The
garden specimen below is from the garden of Matt Bradford, La Mesa, CA.
All photos by him. The 5 gallon plants are not large and were

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

EUTERPE EDULIS ORANGE CROWNSHAFT
PROMINENT ORANGE CROWNSHAFT - STUNNING
STUNNING COLOR FOR THE GARDEN
TEN DAY SPECIAL TWO GALLON SIZE
Many of you may know of Euterpe edulis, a thin solitary palm with
a long green crown shaft. However, in Southern Brazil and possibly
northern Argentina, there is a form of this species that has a prominent
orange crown shaft. Considered by some to be "Euterpe sp.
espiritosantensis", others feel it is a variety of E. edulis.
It has a think trunk and a three foot long crownshaft. It wants to
be grown in filtered light and to work its way into partial direct
sunlight. Cold tolerance is about a freeze. This is a slow
growing palm and near impossible to find available. We presently
have a very limited number of two gallon plants. They were
repotted in winter. In the spring of last year we had a few 5
gallon that sold out in a few days. These are extremely difficult
to find and always expensive if you can find one.

COCONUT QUEEN PALM
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
FIRST TIME AVAILABLE THIS SIZE IN TEN YEARS!
SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZED PLANTS
This interesting hybrid originated in Thailand by a grower and
propagator of rare palms. It is a cross between the common Queen
Palm and an unusual type of palm from the same genus, Syagrus
schizophylla. The offspring have proven to be quite beautiful
and have good cold tolerance. These will be a medium sized palm.
The trunk will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size
will be less. The attached photos of near mature plants show how
pretty it is. Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the
Queen Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm.
For many years now we’ve only had large plants for sale.
This is because the hybridizer is no longer making hybrid seeds.
But, a different hybridizer has done this cross and now we can
offer young plants at a semi-affordable price.
This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a cold
hardiness estimated to be in the low 20's F. Mature height should
be about 25 feet.
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE $85
This hybrid palm has never been cheap.
In more recent times many enthusiasts have not be able to afford
to get one. So, here’s
their chance.

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

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

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.
The two plants shown here in the first two rows below

THE TRAVELER PALM
RAVENALA MADAGASCARENSIS
BANANA-LIKE TREE IN ONE PLANE
IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LATELY
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
Most people are fascinated by this
large, banana-like plant that has wide, long and soft leaves that tower
overhead. It is native to Madagascar. The fact the leaves of
the Traveler Palm are all aligned in one plane fascinates viewers. But I
must first mention that this species is not a palm at all! Rather,
it is part of the Bird of Paradise family. It got its common name
of "Traveler Palm" (aka Traveller Palm) because the leaf bases would
catch and hold water for thirsty travelers. Compared to the Giant
Bird of Paradise, it's so much nicer. It's less maintenance, is
not invasive and prettier. But, the downside is that Ravenala
madagascarensis doesn't survive a freeze. Literally, a freeze
will kill it overnight. This is the first time I’ve had any
Traveler Palms available for two years. I’ve had hundreds of calls
by people looking for them and there just aren’t any of any size
available. Yesterday I got a limited number of three to four leaf
young plants in band size. If they don’t sell out, all will be put
in 2 gallon pots in the next few days.
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE $40
The band size plants are shown in the first five
photos. The sixth photo is an old photo of a larger Nursery plant.

CARYOTA URENS
COLD HARDY GIANT
FISHTAIL
A GREAT CANOPY FORMING PALM TREE
HEIGHTS ABOVE FIFTY
FEET MATURE!
THINNER TRUNK THAN CARYOTA
GIGAS
Although this is not the tallest of all Fishtail
Palms, be aware that it is much taller than C. gigas. But,
the trunk is more thin. As an estimate of trunk diameter, think
"telephone pole" size, white in color, and easily heights over fifty
feet. This is one of the quickest growing palms known. A
plant like shown here will be thirty feet tall in a few years.
Leaves are not as long or wide as Caryota
gigas. Their leaf color also
is not as dark a green. Brown tipping of leaflets can occur,
especially if not given enough water. Another important point:
All Caryotas are
"monocarpic". This means that, after a period of fifteen to twenty
years age, the plant will blossom. It flowers, hopefully produces
seeds, and slowly dies over three to four years.
Cold tolerance is lower than Caryota gigas, down
into the upper teens F. Because of their height, these palms
always end up in full sun. So, acclimate your plant to sun and
give it plenty of water, especially after first planting. Shown
here is our 25 gallon size which we have in limited numbers. These
will form canopy in a matter of a few years.

NATIVE TO RAINFORESTS OF BORNEO
LOOKS LIKE MAIDENHAIR FERN IN THE SKY
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE
I KNOW OF NO OTHER NURSERY THAT HAS THIS
HUGE 15 GALLON ON TEN DAY SPECIAL
We
Years Several decades ago I saw this most beautiful Fishtail Palm in
Bogor Botanical Garden in Indonesia. I was so impressed that I
made it a mission to seek out seeds. The problem is that a tree of
any given species of Caryota has to flower and then die for anyone to
get seeds. This can create a near impossible dilemma to overcome.
It is native to the island of Bogor. It gets a mature height of
about forty feet in California. I had one that grew to maturity
and flowered in my garden in San Diego. Trunks are thinner than C.
gigas and urens. Leaves are multi-pinnate with small
leaflets. They are super lacy, graceful and beautiful. It'll
grow into full sun along the coast and is cold hardy to about a freeze
or a bit lower. The 15 gallon plant on special is huge for it's
pot - more like a 25 gallon plant.
REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON $350

HARDY!
TEN DAY
SPECIAL HUGE 15G SIZE
Native to Southern China, this difficult to find species of Fishtail
Palm is quite similar to the “Cold Hardy Mountain Fishtail” – Caryota
urens, but doesn’t get as tall and has a thinner trunk.
I’d estimate trunk thickness at 12 inches with a mature height of
25 feet. It is probably the
most cold hardy of all Fishtails.
It should take weather easily into the low 20’s or upper teens F.
It’d be the best choice of Fishtails for people in colder areas.
Along the coast it will take full sun.
Leaves are bipinnate with small leaflets.
Often you’ll see some black fiber on the trunk just below the
leaf bases. Remember,
Fishtails are all monocarpic. They die when they blossom and
hopefully someone collects the seeds.
Fishtail Palms have been near impossible to find lately.

BRAHEA DULCIS –
BLUE FORM
MEDIUM SIZED ATTRACTIVE FAN PALM
LEAVES GREEN OR VERY BLUE GREEN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This good looking fan palm comes from southern Mexico as well as various
countries in Central America. There is variability in this
species: Some plants are green, others blue. Some specimens get to
twenty feet, others remain shorter. And some even sucker to make
multiple trunks. But all are attractive. Over time, leaf
bases fall away to give a smooth trunk. We're offering nice 15
gallon plants at a good discount. The leaves are green with a hint
of blue. I suspect outdoors
in sun there’s a good chance they’ll get more blue.
Seeds came from a blue parent.
These can be shipped in a large box.
These can be grown in sun or part day sun.
Although uncertain, I think cold tolerance should be down to the

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

CHAMAEDOREA STOLINIFERA
A SEMI-DWARF, SUCKERING SHADE PALM
PROPAGATED USUALLY ONLY BY DIVISIONS
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 7 GALLON SPECIMEN
This is a suckering, semi-dwarf simple leaf understory palm. Native to
Mexico, it suckers, and rarely gets over six feet tall, It 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. Often they'll wildly shoot out of the
pot, then turn upwards to form a new vertical stem. 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. We do have several mother plants for this purpose. We're
selling this specimen plant that has over twenty stems and lots of
stolons. It's an instant older dwarf shade plant for the garden.
REGULAR PRICE THIS SPECIMEN 7 GALLON $350

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.

This unbelievably rare palm species is native to mountainous areas of
New Caledonia. There are several hallmarks for identifying this
species. It has stiff, upright green leaves. The leaves do
not arch. There is a short crown shaft that, over time, turns
almost black. This black color can spread onto the trunk.
Mature height is over 30 feet in an ideal climate. It likes
humidity and warmer winter temperatures. So, it would not be an
ideal species for far interior areas. Cold tolerance is down to
about a freeze. We are offering 5 gallon plants on special.
They were repotted this spring, so we're offering a very nice discount.
This is another extremely rare palm that is near impossible to
find. I’d recommend a bit of sun (after acclimation) or strong filtered
light. Let it grow into the sun over time.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE $90
We only have a few available. They'll be gone quickly. The
size on sale are shown in the first six photos.

EASY TO GROW - VERY PRETTY
A GREAT INTERIOR PALM!
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
This suckering palm species is native to Mexico and Central America.
It is one of about four types of "Bamboo Palms" and is probably either
the best or in a stiff competition with Chamaedorea hooperiana. This
species gets to a mature height of twelve to sixteen feet, has strong 1
inch to 1.5 inch trunks which are green in color with prominent rings,
and about three to four foot long leaves. It is an upright grower
and does clump. It doesn't run. It takes filtered light or
morning sun along the coast. I've even heard of some growing it in
full sun although I'd not recommend it. It is a good growing
species.
Cold hardiness is into the mid to lower 20's F. Below I'm showing
our band size seedlings which I'm putting on special. I also
showing a mature garden plant. This is a great palm! We're

CALADIUM
HYBRIDS
BRIGHT AND VIBRANT COLORS
TYPE OF "ELEPHANT EAR PLANT"
TEN DAY
SPECIAL SIX INCH PLANTS
Caladium are a type of Elephant Ear
Plant and related to Alocasia and Colocasia. They are
native to Central and South America. They are grown world wide. They
are known for their vibrantly colored heart shaped leaves. This
includes green, white, orange, red, pink and other colors. The bright
foliage shown below comes from tubers or bulbs. These can go dormant
during winter. Mature plant height is 12 to 24 inches. If you maintain
temperatures above sixty degrees F. there is the possibility that
foliage will winter over. For most people, foliage will die off in the
fall. But, if you don't overwater them, foliage reappears in the
following late spring. Below are six different hybrid types we are
offering. Some have crazy names but are a simple way to add exciting
color to the garden. The cany take some sun or strong filtered light in
many areas. We just got in the plants shown below.

CHRISTMAS DAY 2020
PALM & TROPICAL PLANT EXCURSION
SECOND SHOWING - AROUND SAN DIEGO,
CA
UNUSUAL SPECIES - TREES IN FLOWER
LOTS OF DIFFERENT PALMS
I've decided to show this again, 9 months
later. Last Christmas, with Covid restrictions in place, my wife and I
were sort of bored come mid-Christmas day, 2020. No family visitors -
All by ourselves. So, off we went to do one of our favorite things.
That is - driving around looking for unusual plant species. We do this
from time to time. Our local Royal poinciana has been forming mature
seed pods, so that was a great starting point. From there we went to
Balboa Park to photograph some nice palms. Then, area by area we worked
our way to Mission Bay Park near San Diego Bay. I'm sharing some photos
of great species that may interest you. I particular focused on
Brahea edulis
(which does super well here) and a stand of
Livistona decipiens (decora)
in fruit. Included are some nice succulent
trees and some flowering trees still with blossoms in December. Also
shown below are a few nice palm species. All in alphabetical order.
This is just meant to be a photographic presentation.

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.
REGULAR PRICE 25 GALLON SIZE $700
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE 25G $595

SUPER RARE HYBRID PINNATE PALM
NEW TO THE MARKET
(BUTIA X JUBAEA) X SYAGRUS
FANTASTIC HYBRID – VERY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON SIZE
The hybrid I'm presenting today is a recent
introduction to the market. Most people are familiar with the Mule Palm
- which is a hybrid of Butia with the Queen Palm with the Butia being
the seed bearing parent. The Mule Palm is cold hardy to about 17
degrees and can live in Tucson, AZ. Butia x Jubaea is even more
cold tolerant and takes temperatures down to about 15 to 16 degrees. We
routinely have both of these crosses available.
The hybrid offered below is between a Butia
x Jubaea (seed bearer) and the Queen Palm - using pollen from the
Queen Palm. It will look very different and should have a cold
tolerance of about 16 to 17 degrees. We offered these at the end of
last year and all sold out within about three days. We are lucky enough
to offer some more presently.
It'll want full sun. Before, I've only known
of small one gallons available of this hybrid and for sale for about
$150. Recently we’ve had some 5 gallon which sold out.
But, we just got in some very nicely sized 25 gallon that I’m
putting on sale.
TEN DAY SALE PRICE THIS NEW HYBRID 25 GALLON SIZE $525

We only have a few of these plants. Below I am showing the three parent
species that were used to make this very rare hybrid

DYPSIS PEMBANA
MEDIUM TO TALL PALM FROM PEMBA ISLAND
SOMETIMES SUCKERING, SOMETIMES SINGLE TRUNK
SUCKERING FORM SHOWN HERE
TEN DAY SPECIAL SUCKERING 15G PLANTS
This attractive medium sized Dypsis comes from the Island of
Pemba off the coast of Madagascar. It is sometimes single trunk,
other times suckering. This variability in the number of trunks is
seen with quite a few Dypsis. It gets to a height of thirty
feet, has silver or silver-green trunks with prominent rings, with six
foot long leaves on short petioles. The leaves are sometimes
keeled in cross-section. Growth is rapid. In our area of
Southern California, part day sun seems to work well. Inland areas
show put in strong filtered light. Cold tolerance is into the
mid-twenties F. We have available a limited number of fairly nice
15 plants that are already suckering.
This species is similar to Dypsis lanceolata. A way I
recognize D. pembana when juvenile is by the upper stem, where
you see a definite speckled tan color below the newly emerging spear. Dypsis
lanceolata has more of a silver color in this same area.

SILVER CROWN SHAFT - SILVER TRUNK
UMBRELLA SHAPED CROWN OF LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL TWELVE YEAR OLD 15 GALLON SIZE
We have available a few nice and extremely old plants of Hedyscepe
canterburyana. This single trunk palm has a silver crown shaft,
silver trunk (in shade) with prominent rings. It is native to
medium elevations in the mountains of Lord Howea Island (home of the
Kentia Palm). It is single trunk. Mature height is about 20
feet. They fruit here and seeds are large and red in color.
Along our coast here it takes full sun but also does well in part day
sun or strong filtered light. Trunks are beefier in sun.
Cold tolerance is about 23 - 25 degrees. When folks see this plant
in person, most agree it is one of the most desirable palms around. We
are putting our limited number os 12 year old 15g size on special -
first two rows of photos.
And, yes, they are slow growing! It would be a challenge to find them
bigger than this for sale.

WALLICHIA DISTICHA
SINGLE TRUNK, LEAVES IN ONE PLANE
A VERY INTERESTING AND PECULIAR PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL RARELY SEEN 15 GALLON SIZE
This is an unusual palm that has all of its leaves in a single plane
when mature. That is to say
from the front, it is a fairly large, "Caryota-appearing"
palm tree. But, looking from the side, it is narrow and you can
hardly see it. The dictionary definition of "distichous" is: "Arranged
in two vertical rows on opposite sides of an axis: distichous leaves. "
In this case, the trunk of the palm is the axis.
This species is native to the Himalaya Mountains in
Asia, spreading from northern India across to northern Thailand.
There it grows at altitudes of up to 4000 feet. It can easily be
grown in many areas of Southern California. It tolerates
temperatures down to about the mid to upper twenties F. It prefers
full sun. Mature height is about 30 feet.
Wallichia could be confused with Arenga and Caryota, both
of which are also from the same part of the world. All have
leaflets that have jagged or toothed apical ends as shown here.
All also go through a flowering process that begins at the upper trunk
and works its way down the trunk over time. And, all have stems
that die after suckering. When there is only one stem (as with
this species), the tree will die after it flowers. Seeds of Wallichia
disticha are very small as shown here. The
back sides of Wallichia and Arenga
leaflets are silver whereas Caryotas are
green on the back side. This helps in identifying the genus.
Trunks of Wallichia disticha are also
covered with dense brown fibers as shown here.
We have very limited numbers of very old and large 15
gallon plants. See first 6
photos below. I wish to
reiterate that it’s near impossible to find this species for sale.
REGULAR PRICE 15G $295
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE $250
