KENTIOPSIS OLIVIFORMIS
A GREAT CROWN SHAFTED PALM FOR SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA
I've discussed this great
New Caledonian species before because it is such a good species for
those of us in Southern California. It comes from high elevation in its
native habitat, is a good growing palm and can tolerate full sun easily
along the coastal strip. Its cold hardiness is down to about 23
degrees, better than the King Palm or Kentia Palm. It has an average
trunk diameter of eight to ten inches and a mature height of usually
about thirty feet. It can also be grown in part day sun or strong
filtered light.
Shown here is a nice
25g plant along with other sizes. You'll notice that the leaf color in
the sun is blue-green in a way. It is certainly not a lime green
color. Also, some new leaves may emerge with a hint of red color.
Growth rate is good. We have a reasonable assortment of all sizes
although our larger plants are almost sold out.
This species is highly recommended.

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

DYPSIS DECARYI
THE TRIANGLE PALM
MEDIUM MATURE HEIGHT
THREE SIDED CROWN SHAFT WITH COLOR
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G AND 25G SIZES
This Madagascar palm is known as the "Triangle Palm" because the crown
shaft has three flat sides. This crown shaft has multiple colors
including purple, silver and black.
It gets to a mature height of about 22 feet in 3 decades.
It loves heat and sun. Leaves are a gray-green color and there is
prominent speckling in the inner crown with dark colors. It is
slow growing. It has a cold tolerance of about 24 degrees F.
The palms on Special are sun and landscape ready. Plant them
tomorrow! These are way too big for mail order.

CHAMAEDOREA TEPEJILOTE
SINGLE TRUNK, TALL
SHADE-LOVING PINNATE PALM
DARK GREEN RINGED TRUNK
OFTEN GROWN AS A "MULTIPLE"
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This single trunk pinnate palm is native to areas extending from
southern Mexico down to Columbia. They are often grown for food as
the male blossoms are cooked and eaten as a delicacy. This species
doesn't take sun here - it'll burn. But, in shade it thrives in
temperatures down to the mid-twenties F. It is quick growing and
has a rather thick, prominently ringed dark green trunk. Flowers
are quite prominent and, if you have several plants closely situated,
the chances are you'll obtain fruit without even trying. One photo
shows a flower with green fruit.
This species can also be grown inside the home as long as the air is not
too hot and dry. I personally like the looks of a collection of
several plants grown together. Over time, as they age and get
overhead, there will be some "stair-stepping" of the crowns and this is
quite attractive. Cold tolerance outside is into the mid-twenties
F. It needs filtered light, even when tall. We have singles
and some multiples in our 15 gallon size which we are putting on sale.
They are very nice and really too big for mail order.
For the latter folks, get our 5 gallon size.
REGULAR PRICE 15G $225
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $195

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA
SUCKERING AND SINGLE
TRUNK MOUNTAIN FORM
BEST GROWING SPECIES OF THE GENUS
SORT OF LIKE A SUCKERING KENTIA PALM
TEN TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
When one considers the species Laccospadix
australasica, he has to realize that there
are different forms depending on native habitats and localities.
There are also single trunk and suckering forms. The one for sale
here is the mountain form. I feel it's the best subspecies one can
purchase. It doesn't throw the new red leaf although
occasionally you see a bit of bronze in the new leaf. This variety
of the L. australasica is fairly
easy to grow in our area. I can’t predict if your plant will
sucker or not. The seeds
for these plants today came from a local flowering tree here in
Encinitas. This variety has thinner leaves that are dull green in
color, trunks about four to five inches thick and reaches a height of 12
feet. It sort of looks like a suckering Kentia Palm. I'd
recommend morning sun, strong filtered light or perhaps several hours of
daily sun. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F.
REGULAR PRICE 15G $225
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $195
We have extremely limited numbers but hopefully
more will become available over time. Mention this Special for
your discount.

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.

BURRETIOKENTIA HAPALA
NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
THINNER TRUNK, MEDIUM HEIGHT
NICE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This is a medium height, single trunk, crown shafted palm from New
Caledonia. There is grows on mountainous slopes. Of the genus, perhaps
this species is the easiest for us to grow here in California. It is
very sought after and most of the garden photos below are from
California. Along the coast, I'd recommend giving this species half day
morning sun, a few hours of sun or strong filtered light. Cold
hardiness is into the mid to upper twenties F.
In my experience, mature height is usually about 30 feet but it can get
a bit taller. Trunks in shade are green, prominently ringed and medium
diameter. Leaves are green and pinnate. This size can be mail ordered.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125

LOXOCOCOS RUPICOLA
MEDIUM SIZE EXOTIC PALM
SINGLE TRUNK - NEVER TALL
MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GROW
FOR SOME
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON
SIZE
There is only one species to the genus
Loxococos.
L. rupicola
is native to Sri Lanka at elevations up to 800
meters in a high elevation cloud forest. It is extremely exotic
appearing with a thin trunk. It has a prominently red new leaf as shown
below. Mature juvenile leaves are semi-intact with narrow divisions
between the segments. In more mature trees the leaflets are more
divided. Mature height is below 20 feet, often much less. In our area,
this species needs a definite frost free environment with filtered light
above. I only have a few of this super rare palm. We're putting it on
a Ten Day Special.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON SIZE $100
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $70
Make sure you are in a good warm climate before
you order. The mature garden photo is c/o Wikipedia.

RAVENEA RIVULARIS
THE MAJESTY PALM
LARGE PALM WITH A THICK CLEAN TRUNK
FAST GROWING - LIKES WATER AND FERTILIZER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
Well grown, the Majesty Palm is a very attractive and fast growing palm
from Madagascar. It got a bad rap initially because people didn't
water them enough and rarely fed them. This resulted in bleached
out leaf color and anemic appearing palms. But, given adequate
water and a balanced fertilizer with mircroelements, they are easy to
grow. Mature height is over 40 feet. The trunk is clean and
tapers as you look up the trunk. Leaf color is green and leaves
are un-armed. Cold tolerance is into the twenties F. Full
sun along the coast is preferred. They can be used as an interior
palm. I have one in my garden with about 30 feet of trun.
We're putting our 5 gallons on sale. These were grown locally from
seeds.

PINANGA JAVANA
SINGLE TRUNK, TROPICAL & EXOTIC SPECIES
GETS TALLER - BEING GROWN BY COLLECTORS
TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
It's been a few years since we've offered this
rare single trunk Pinanga
from the island of Java, Indonesia. A different thing about this
species is that it is single trunk. Juvenile plants have solid, simple
leaves as shown in the photos. But, over time, they become pinnate
leaves as seen on the larger garden specimen. The mature trunk is thin
and ringed. Leaves are six feet long or more - green in color. The
thing about this species is that no one has it! Shown are the 5g plants
we're putting on Special. It wants filtered light and is cold hardy
down to about a freeze.

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.

PHOENIX ROEBELENII
THE PYGMY DATE PALM
NATURALLY A SINGLE TRUNK PALM
LOCALLY GROWN - HARDIER THAN IMPORTS
SALE ON TRIPLE PLANTS IN 5 GALLON SIZE
Most people are familiar with this species, the Pygmy Date Palm.
It is naturally a single trunks species. But, they are usually
sold as "triples" - three individual plants in the same pot - so often,
that people think it's a suckering species. And, 99% of plants are
sold as a "multiples". Over a few decades, this species can get to
a height of over ten feet.
They are slow growing.
Triples grow slower than singles.
This species is a type of Date Palm, so it does have spines on
its stems. Growth rate is medium to slow. It likes full sun
and is cold hardy to about 22 degrees F. Of note, it is one of
the least cold hardy of all the Date Palms. Shown here are
some shippable 5 gallon which we’re putting on Special.
Also of note, these are locally germinated and grown and
not imported. They are much hardier and better than the ones at
the home improvement centers.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $65
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $50
Remember to mention this Special at the time of purchase to get this
discounted price. And, for mail order customers on the East Coast,
shipping one of these may cost more than the plant itself!

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.

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 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

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

FURCRAEA MACDOUGAL
THE TREE FURCREA
INTERESTING MEDIUM SIZED, SUN LOVING TREE
BLUE GREEN FOLIAGE – WATER CONSERVING
TEN DAY SPECIAL VERY NICE 15 GALLON SIZE
This species is a stunning member of the Agave family. It is known
as the tallest Agave and is native only to a small area Oaxaca, Mexico.
There it lives in hot, dry scrubland. Overall height in the wild
gets to twenty feet, although plants in cultivation often flower at a
height of about ten feet. Leaves are blue-green in color, very
fleshy and stiff, and pointed upwards. They are also thick and
firm with small spines along their margins. When old dead leaves
are cleaned from the trunk, it is very cool looking. When this
species flowers, a huge upright flower up to twenty feet emerges.
Initially there are white flowers and these are followed by a large
number of "bubils" that fall to the ground and are the means of
propagation. The mother plant then dies. Cold tolerance from
reports is about 22 degrees F. It is a full sun plant. The
15g plants on sale are ten years old.

Recently we got in some Heliconia plants

pistils. I think they may be Heliconia latispatha.
The blossoms are a bit different than our schiediana.

For several decades we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from
Madagascar. These are the blue form. This palm species loves

These cannot be transplanted once established in the garden.
They get a husky trunk and probably about 40 feet tall in many
decades. This is a very
attractive palm and should be given room in the garden to show it off.
Many people in desert locations have found they can grow it. Shown
below are two sizes: Landscape ready 25g and more affordable 5
gallon size. This is a
great starting size.

TEN DAY SPECIAL GOOD SIZED 15 GALLON PLANTS
Howea forsteriana,
the popular Kentia Palm, is native to Lord Howe Island. There it
lives at lower elevations. At higher elevations up the mountains
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.

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.

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.

CHAMAEDOREA TRUNKING RADICALIS
QUICK GROWING, SINGLE STEM
FAIRLY COLD HARDY - TOLERATE SUN
LARGE FIVE GALLON SIZE - TEN DAY SPECIAL
TAs many of you may know, Chamaedorea radicalis is from Mexico.
The classic dwarf form only gets three to four feet tall. The
trunking form shown here easily can reach eight to ten feet. Both
are single trunk palms. Both can tolerate a large amount of sun
and some are growing them in full sun close to the ocean. The
trunking form is a very fast growing plant. It has more narrow
leaflets compared to the dwarf form. Both have long male and
female blossoms that are oriented upwards off the trunk. On the
dwarf form the blossoms often tower above the foliage. Cold
tolerance is into the upper teens F. Shown below are singles in
the 5g size. We’re putting
this on sale. The 5th

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

This beautiful blue fan palm is native to Cuba.
Mature trees carry a large number of blue, circular and pleated and flat

with other Copernicia,
are some of the most beautiful of all fan palms. Expect a mature height
of 20 to 25 feet. It wants full sun and is cold tolerant to at least a
freeze. We're putting young plants on sale. They presently have two to

ZAMIA FURFURACEA
THE CARDBOARD CYCAD
SMALL, SEMI-DWARF SPECIES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 7G PLANTS
Recently we got in some very nice 7g Zamia furfuracea that I'm
putting on special. This species is native to south-eastern Mexico. It
is a semi-dwarf species. Some clones don't get over three feet tall.
Others can get to ahead height but this is rare. It has stiff ,small
green leaflets. They are typically oval or an elongated oval in shape.
There are no spines on the leaflets and minimal spines on the stems. A
typical leaf length is two to three feet when mature. In sun the color
is a light green. The leaflets are a bit hairy as well. Plants sucker
and form small clumps.
Classically, this species is meant for part day sun or strong filtered
light. Along the coast many grow them in full sun. This gives a
smaller, more compact clump. Cold hardiness is into the lower 20's F.
The plants we have in 7g pots are either large singles or clusters.
Caudexes are up to 5 to 6 inches.
All are nice and can be shipped. Also, some are growing these as
an interior cycad.

BECAURNIA RECURVATA
THE PONYTAIL PALM
BIZARRE AND SWOLLEN BASE
MEDIUM SIZED MATURE - LOVES SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON SIZE
We just got in our spring supply of this popular succulent
plant that is certainly not a true palm. Yet, all of its common
names call it one. Native to Mexico, this plant typically gets ten
to fifteen feet tall with a peculiar, expanded caudex at the base and a
crown of strap like leaves. These emerge upward and then hang down
in a fountain fashion. The most amazing thing about this species
is the bizarre forms it can take on. It can have multiple heads of
leaves, multiple emerging trunks from the caudex base and the size of
the base can get massive. I've seen photos of small cars parked on
top of the base of this species.
Shown here in the first six photos is a very nice and
very old 25g plant with an estimated 18 to 20 inch base. It is a
sun loving species and cold hardy somewhere into the mid-twenties F.
Cold may damage the leaves but usually plants come back the following
season. If you want smaller we have 15g size (last photo) and 5g
which are more affordable. The 25g plant is at least 20 years old.

Flowers are white with purple centers and markings. It grows like
other Lilies by making offset tubers that make new plants.
Expect a mature height of six to seven feet, definitely
overhead. As mentioned, they clump and form a great display of
foliage. They will not "run" or take over an area. In recent

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.

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

shaft and premorse leaflets. It is quite exotic appearing.
It is a sun species along the coast. It does tolerate a

Customers have told us it’s their favorite of the genus by far. I don’t

WALLICHIA DISTICHA
SINGLE TRUNK, LEAVES IN ONE PLANE
A VERY INTERESTING AND PECULIAR PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This is an unusual palm that has all of its leaves in a single plane.
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. Because of it's heritage and as you
might guess, it does have some cold hardiness and 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. Usually this species is single
trunk, but in the wild suckering specimens are found. This is not
to confuse it with another suckering species, Wallichia densiflora, which
is always a clustering species.
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 this rare
species for sale. For someone who likes different species, this
one is for you. But, we only have a few of the 15 gallon
available.

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
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.

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This is one of the prettiest
Syagrus you can buy. It gets its common name from the fact that
the leaves are very plumose (multi-ranked or fluffy), resembling the
Foxtail Palm. As the photographs show, the trunk is thin for the height
of this palm. And it is prominently ringed. Mature height can be 50
feet or more. It is native to about six countries in the northern part
of South America. It prefers full sun once acclimated and is cold
tolerant down to the mid-twenties F. The plants on sale are in 5 gallon

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.

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.

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. 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 two photos below.
I’m also showing a 15 gallon from the Nursery.

This single trunk species is from
Brazil and never gets very tall. Usually they are never over
twenty feet in height. They are very slow growing.
A most prominent feature of this
species are the retained leaf bases on the upper trunk.
It is unusual for a

because it has modified small spines (more like saw edge prominences) of
the leaf stem. If you cross this plant with pollen from a Queen
Palm and you have one of the best looking palms ever - The Coconut Queen
Palm. Shown in the first two rows are 5g
S. schizophylla.
We only have a few. These plants are
six year old.
They can take full coastal sun and are

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
Of the Shaving Brush Palm family, this is the hardest one to

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

ENCEPHALARTOS LANATUS
A
RARE BLUE CYCAD FROM SOUTH AFRICA
LOVES HEAT AND SUN – VERY THIN LEAFLETS
TEN
DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This beautiful South African species of cycad is best known for the
silvery throw of new leaves that it displays. It has a medium
sized trunk, usually to a maximum height of six feet. It does
sucker from the base. Leaves are about three feet long and arching
downward. The leaflets are very narrow and essentially unarmed.
When new leaves emerge they are a brilliant silver in color. I was
absolutely stunned by the beauty of this species the first time I saw a
mature plant throw new leaves. As they age, they become more of a
blue green color.
The native locality for this species experiences
extremes in weather from very high summer heat to definite freezes in
winter. In the garden, this species demands sun. I'd
estimate cold hardiness to be in the low 20's. It is a good
species for those in cooler areas who still get summer heat. .
Shown here is a citrus pot sized plant
that has a caudex of 2.75 inches.
Remember that rare cycads are sold by their caudex size.
We’re offering nice prices on this size.
If you buy one and it’s a bit smaller caudex
size, it’ll cost less.
If it’s bigger, it’ll be more.

GOOD SELECTION TO CHOOSE FROM
The species on sale below are very nicely sized 15 gallon Ceratozamia
mexicana. This is the "prototype" of the Ceratozamias. yet
still fairly uncommon at nurseries. It is native to tropical mountains
in eastern Mexico where it grows in humid or arid areas under forest
trees. It is very cold hardy, probably going into the upper teens. It
is easy to grow in the SF Bay area. It has green leaves that spread
horizontally as shown here. Leaflets are long and come to a point but
are not that sharp. It is slow growing and a fifty year old plant has a
caudex that reaches only about 18 inches height. It prefers filtered
light. The plants on sale are
about twelve years old or more and have a caudex diameter of six to
seven inches. The one shown

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

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

VARIEGATED SHELL GINGER

YELLOW AND GREEN 15G SIZE AVAILABLE

This is a super popular variety of ginger that blossoms in the
summer. It is native to Asia. Blossoms are white with yellow
and red throats. Blossoms are not fragrant. Blossoms hang
downward compared to the upright blossoms of Hedychium Gingers
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
canes and are ready to be planted in the ground.

PANDANUS FURCATUS
VERY COLD HARDY SPECIES OF PANDANUS
EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND SCREW PINE
TEN DAY SPECIAL YOUNG PLANTS
Pandanus
are a Monocot with about 750 species worldwide. Many species are native
to Madagascar. They are similar to palm trees but are not true palms.
Many species produce prominent roots from the trunk to help support the
tree. Pandanus furcatus
is known to be quite cold hardy as it is native to northern India and
Nepal (as well of nearby other areas). All
Pandanus
come from the Old World. P. furcatus
can get quite tall, even over 40 feet in many decades. Leaves have
spiny margins. It can tolerate a freeze. Be aware that most species do
not tolerate a freeze. The only other species of
Pandanus we
grow is P. utilus.
Both are extremely difficult to find for sale. We recently obtained
some smaller furcatus
plants from a private grower. Our band size is shown in the first 6
photos. The specimen is c/o TS at RPS. The 7th and 9th photos are of
larger plants we had about a decade ago.

They can take our coastal sun or part sun. I have several

Neorogelia
are known for their foliage. Blossoms are small, often blue, and deep

especial before the plants blossom and when in some sun. But, not all
plants of this genus like sun. In general, Neorogia tend to be flatter
plants and don't get very tall. Many prefer shade. The plants on
special are similar to the clustering red
Neorogelia
that we've had in the past. But, on these, the plants are larger and
have wider leaves. But, you can see the nice red color developing.
They start of with one or two plants and in a few years are a cluster of
eight or more plants. I'd give them part day sun.

FAN PALMS
THEY ALL JUST LOOK LIKE MEXICAN FAN PALMS
CORRECT?
I DON'T THINK SO.
All photos here are of fan palms. They were taken in the wild, in
botanical gardens or at the nursery. But, all are of fan palms of
one species or another.
I've not labeled them because I'm presenting them as a group. From
a structure point of view, a fan palm is a palm where all the segments
(or leaflets) radiate from one central area. These can form a
whole circle of leaflets, a half circle, or less. Compare this to
a pinnate palm where leaflets come off a central leaf stalk. I.e.,
leaflets protrude laterally from a central stem, typically to either
side.
Over the years I have heard people say hundreds of time things like
"I don't like fan palms; they all look like Mexican Fans". Or,
"Fan palms look like "desert palms". Or, "Fan palms are so boring;
I like normal palms". If you were like me and had studied
palms for almost forty years, what would you say to such comments?
I usually just say something like "I understand" and show them typical
pinnate palms. But, I am aware that nothing could be further from
the truth.
There are such exotic fan palms of all types, shapes, sizes, color
and textures. I've tried to demonstrate their varied appearance
here. Fan palms comes from all corners of the world.
Some are large trees, others tiny. Some species are for shade
only. Some have silver undersides. And, others are almost
white in color.
And, fan palms add a different look and dimension to the garden.
A garden composed of only pinnate palms like King Palms is quite boring.
One has to mix fans into a garden to add diversity and interest. I
hope you can see with these photos how you could do this.

POPULAR, STATELY AND BEAUTIFUL!
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15 GALLON PLANTS
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 below are our 5 gallon size of Chambeyronia hookeri with
its blonde colored crown shaft. This species is hard to find.
It is different in appearance from the dark green crown shafted form, Chambeyronia

• Growth habit and care about the same as macrocarpa
• Along the coast will tolerate full sun if you're are not too far
inland
• Crown shaft is yellow-tan colored and quite prominent
• Cold tolerance is about 23 degrees
• Growth rate on this species like macrocarpa is slow to
medium but improves once planted in the ground.
• Trunk diameter is about 8 inches typically and overall height of
mature plants is about 25 feet
• Leaflets are shiny green, thick and sturdy, and quite wide as
shown
• Like macrocarpa, about 95% of the time throws newly
emerging red leaf as shown here. Rarely a plant will not throw new
red leaves and there's no way of predicting this.
• Also makes a great interior palm inside the home

CRYOSOPHILA STAURACANTHA
SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED TROPICAL FAN PALM

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

TRITHRINAX CAMPESTRIS
BLUE, SUCKERING FAN PALM
VERY COLD HARDY
LIMITED NUMBER OLD SUCKERING 5G
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This South American suckering fan palm comes from Argentina and
Uruguay. From these locations, you might suspect it could have quite a
bit of cold hardiness, and this is the case with not only this species
of Trithrinax, but of the genus as a whole. Availability of
seeds of this species has been sparse to nonexistent. And, as a young
plant, it is quite slow growing. Consequently, to get a good sized
container plant can take a decade or more. We were fortunate to offer
some very nice 5g plants as shown below. I'd estimate their age at 7
years. They are dividing and very chunky at the base. They are totally
acclimated to full hot sun and are intensely blue. 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. Trunks retain old leaf bases but, like Washingtonia,
eventually fall off. This is a drought tolerant species and can take
temperatures well into the 100's F. and cold tolerance is into the
teens. Of note, most specimens I've seen are blue. The last two photos
show a mature plant that is blue-green in color, probably due to the
fact that it's not getting full sun.

DYPSIS BARONII
MEDIUM SIZED SUCKERING PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
NEVER OVERLY TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
This is a typically suckering, thin trunked palm from Madagascar.
It is quite attractive.
I say this because it displays a variety of colors in the trunk
and crown shaft, especially through its juvenile years. Also, it's
fairly cold hardy (to about 25 degrees F. or a bit lower), it has thin
trunks and gets to a height of typically twenty feet. This makes
is a perfect size, not overly large. The colors you’ll see in the
trunks and stems varies from red to orange and pink and to silver and
yellow. There's a color for everyone! As plants mature,
stems usually become silver or green. Crown shafts are often a
powdery white as shown below.
This plant is not difficult to grow. It prefers strong filtered
light but can tolerate some coastal sun. Inland areas should only
try filtered light. I'd highly recommend this species.
We’re putting 5 gallon plants on sale.
They were repotted about six months ago but should take off this
summer.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $100
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $70

ACTINOKENTIA DIVARICATA
THE MINIATURE FLAME THROWER PALM
PREFERS FILTERED LIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This thin trunked, medium sized palm comes from New Caledonia where it
lives in habitat below overhead tree canopy. It is very slow
growing. It has a trunk diameter, at maturity, of about three
inches. It has a cream colored crown shaft and a sparse crown of
five to six leaves. It is often seen "leaning" for light among
competing plants. For a nursery, producing a nice 5g plant takes
about five years. For this reason, few nurseries grow this
species. Planted in the garden, growth rate picks up a bit but is
still slow. Newly emerging leaves are often red in color. If
you are in a drier climate, this species would definitely take filtered
light. Since the trunk is small and the canopy is medium sized at
most, it is a good species to "sneak into that small, filtered light
area". Cold tolerance is into the low twenties, F. I've
known this species to grow in the San Francisco Bay area.
We have a very limited supply of Actinokentia.
Of note, this is a monotypic genus with only one species in the genus.
Shown here is one of our 5g plants and photos from habitat and domestic
plants. Note the long
slender crown shaft and how plants don't carry very many leaves. We've
been selling this species for over 20 years and typically have one or
two for sale. Shown below is
the 5g size that we’re putting on Special.

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 PEMBANA
SUCKERING AND SINGLE TRUNK VARIETIES
MEDIUM SIZE – TAKE COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON PLANTS
This is a rare, sometimes single trunk and other times suckering palm
from the Island of Pemba. It is one of the rare Dypsis not
from Madagascar. It reaches a height of 30 perhaps 40 feet and has
thin trunks up to about 6 inches thick. Expect a mature height of
20 to 25 feet. It has been found to do quite well in So Cal
coastal sun (unlike some other Dypsis species). Cold
hardiness is into the upper twenties F. Its trunk is gray with
prominent rings. It is cold tolerant to about freezing.
Shown in the first five photos are the two gallon plants we're putting
on special. They are summer repots but not super large.
There could be several plants in each pot.

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.

ENCEPHALARTOS PAUCIDENTATUS
MEDIUM TO LARGE RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
UPRIGHT GREEN
LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
This cycad is native to
Swaziland, northern South Africa. It is known as one of the most
attractive of all the green cycads. It does great in Southern
California but is rare and hard to find. New leaves tend to be
upright. Most pronounced is the "frost" appearance of leaves as
shown below. This is from small hairs on the leaflets. It
makes a medium to large mature specimen. Mature size can be over
fifteen feet with 6 to 10 foot green leaves.
Leaflets are armed.
Along the coast it’ll take full sun.
Far inland I’d recommend limited sun.
Cold tolerance is down to the low 20’s F.

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

SUPER UNUSUAL ENCEPHALARTOS HYBRID
F2 HYBRID WITH E. WOODII POLLEN
ENCEPHALARTOS (E. NATALENSIS X E. WOODII) X
(ENCEPHALARTOS HORRIDUS X E. WOODII)
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.

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.

PAPAYA TREES
TROPICAL FRUIT - MEXICAN VARIETY
YES, MAKES FRUIT IN SOUTHERN CA
TEN DAY
SPECIAL NICE 1 GALLON
The Papaya Tree is native to Mexico, Central
America and Northern South America. It is a columnar trunk plant with
few if any branching. Leaves are large and divided into lobes. Leaf
color is green. The trunk doesn't get too thick, perhaps 6 to 10 inches
thick with tree height in Southern CA of about 15 feet. Fruits form
below the leaves and it's not unusual for a tree to have five to ten
fruits in various stages of ripening.
Papaya trees are not long lived. An average
tree here lives about seven years. So, it's good to grow colonies
closely together and add more trees over time so all don't die at once.
Fruits are orange-yellow to red when ripe. Black seeds are inside the
fruit and can be used for growing more trees.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 1 GALLON $35
The tree in fruit below is about a
block from where I live in San Diego.

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

Previously I discussed the trunking form of
this species. What I'm showing today is the true dwarf form that never
forms a trunk and never gets over six feet tall. It is native to
Mexico. It grows in filtered light but can tolerate some sun along the
coast. Compared to the trunking form, you'll note the leaflets are
darker green and wider. Blossoms often protrude above the leaves when
it's in flower. Cold hardiness is the upper teens F. It grows great in
cooler areas like the SF Bay area. We have a few 15g which we're

CHAMAEDOREA GLAUCIFOLIA
VERY SIMILAR TO THE "BABY QUEEN"
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!

TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G 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 may shown colors of red to purple.
With age they are a brown-green.
Leaves are green and arching.
Trunks are prominently ringed.
It will take coastal sun or part day sun.
Some grow it in strong filtered light.
Far inland it needs protection from full sun.
Growth rate is slow to medium.

CHAMAEDOREA STOLINIFERA
SUPER RARE, SEMI-DWARF SUCKERING SHADE PALM
PROPAGATED USUALLY ONLY BY DIVISIONS
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 7 GALLON SPECIMENS
This is a very rare 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

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA
SUCKERING MOUNTAIN FORM
EASY TO GROW
RESEMBLES THE KENTIA PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 5G
When one considers the species Laccospadix australasica, he has
to realize that there are different forms depending on native
habitat/localities. There are also single trunk and suckering
forms. The one for sale here is the mountain form that are
typically single trunk. I feel it's the best subspecies one can
purchase. It doesn't throw the new red leaf although
occasionally you see a bit of bronze in the new leaf. This variety
of the L. australasica is fairly easy to grow in our area.
The seeds for these plants today came from a local flowering tree here
in Encinitas. This variety has thinner leaves that are dull green
in color, trunks about four to five inches thick and reaches a height of
typically under 15 feet. I'd recommend morning sun, strong
filtered light or perhaps several hours of daily sun. Cold
tolerance is into the mid-twenties F.

VEITCHIA MERRILLII HYBRID
POTENTIAL TO GROW SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE GROWN HERE
VERY EXCITING – NOT PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 5 GALLON SIZE
There is an interesting story behind
the plants I'm showing you here. About four years ago, we got some
seeds from a botanical garden that were labeled as Veitchia
merrillii (aka Adonidia merrillii). This palm
resembles a miniature Royal Palm, so it is a popular choice by
enthusiasts who see it in tropical areas. Rarely does it get over
twenty feet tall and many people like this smaller size. But,
native to the Philippines, you might expect it'd be too tropical and
cold sensitive to grow here. Well, that is the case and I don't
know of one mature tree in Southern California.
The seeds we got were thought to be pure Veitchia merrillii. The
seeds looked to be the right size for merrillii - the anticipated
small size as you see with this species. Seeds of other Veitchia species
are much larger. Of the fifty or so seeds that germinated, about
half died off quickly in our greenhouses the first winter. We
figured - that makes sense - cold sensitive. But, to our surprise,
the other half grew quite well. As they got bigger, it was
apparent that they looked nothing like a true species Veitchia
merrillii we have grown in the past. The prominent speckling
and dark color to the leaf stems was not expected - merrillii is
plain green usually. And, there is a diversity of appearance of
the various plants we were now growing.
We figure these are a hybrid of a Veitchia merrillii crossed
with something else. Most likely it's with another species of Veitchia that
are more cold tolerant. This is to our customer's benefit as this
means perhaps they can grow these and end up with a smaller palm that
resembles V. merrillii. We have a limited number of these
plants left. They’ve gotten
bigger and all have survived a freeze at our nursery.
So, maybe here’s your chance to grow a “Veitchia merrillii
hybrid”
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON THIS HYBRID $125

Obviously, I have no mature garden plants to show you as this is such a

CYPHOSPERMA BALANSAE
SUPER RARE NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
SHORT BLACK CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
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.

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

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.

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.

ENCEPHALARTOS LONGIFOLIUS –
BLUE FORM
MEDIUM TO LARGE RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
BLUE STACKED LEAFLETS - MINIMAL IF ANY SPINES
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
This rare South African cycad is also from the Eastern Cape region of
South Africa. It is a good sized cycad with leaf color variable
from dark green to brilliant blue. The seedlings on sale should be
a nice blue form. Trunks
can reach a height of twelve feet or more. Leaf lengths are four
to six feet with stacking leaflets and minimal if any spines when
mature. Leaves are often curled downward toward their ends.
It loves full sun along the coast but in desert areas would want a few
hours of sun. Cold tolerance is about 22 degrees F.
The seedlings on sale are in band containers (3 x 3 x 9 inches).
They’d benefit from a year or two in a one or two gallon pot
before putting them in the ground.
They are easy to mail order within the U.S. The band
size is shown in the first six photos.

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. These are easy to ship. Also, some are
successfully growing these as a houseplant if given adequate light..

ALOCASIA SPECIES
ELEPHANT EAR PLANTS
FOUR TYPES SHOWN HERE
LUSH, EXOTIC, QUICK TROPICAL LOOK AT A FEW SPECIES
Alocasia
are a type of suckering tropical plant that many know as the "Elephant
Ear Plant". Most that one will see commercially are hybrids that have
no native home. With this said, natural species are typically found in
the Old World and Asia. The main differences between these plants are
the overall height, the size of the leaves, the aggressiveness of
growth, coloring and cold tolerance. I am showing you here four hybrid
varieties, each with their own charm. Figure that they are not for full
sun unless you are told otherwise. But, the first variety can take full
coastal sun.
1. Row 1 and 2:
Alocaia "Cal - Odora",
a dwarf species. It rarely gets over five feet and has leaves that are
typically under 12 inches wide. Leaf color is green. People like this
one b/c of its dwarf size.
2. Row 3:
Alocasia Calidora,
a bigger species that will form
significant trunks and has a larger leaf. Color is green. Leaves can
get three feet long.
3. Row 4:
Alocasia portoro,
an attractive hybrid with an arrowhead shaped leaf and prominent leaf
veins. It can get to about six feet or a bit more.
4. Row 5:
Alocasia species "black stem",
a super attractive and charming species with black stems, silver to the
back of the leaves and a medium height to five feet. But, it's not as
cold hardy as those above.
We presently have all of these available with
some in limited numbers. Also, from time, we get very exotic natural
species that tend to be smaller and are quite stunning.

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.

THE PURPLE CROWN SHAFT KING PALM
VERY BEAUTIFUL - GOOD GROWER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
TWO OTHER SIZES ALSO ON SALE
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 15 gallon size below (first six photos), which we're

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 very nice 15

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.

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.

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.

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".

ENCEPHALARTOS WHITELOCKII
LARGER CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD
LONG UPRIGHT LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL ANY SIZE THIS SPECIES THAT
WE HAVE!
This unique and larger cycad is native to
Uganda. In fact, at one point it was called the "Uganda Giant
Cycad". This is because it has leaves that extend almost straight
up toward the sky and can be twelve feet long or more. Leaflets
are narrow and armed with small spines. The caudex is a light
color and in the wild can be up to ten feet tall. Historically, as
this species is similar to E.
laurentianus, it was called also "Encephalartos laurentianus
Lake George", referring to its specific habitat. The nursery
plants I'm showing today are multiple recently acquired and outdoor
grown 15g plants. We have other sizes as well, both larger and
smaller. The last photo shows one of our boxed specimens.
Note the appearance of these plants with their long leaves with narrow
leaflets. Enthusiasts love this species because it's a good
growing cycad. Right on the coast I'd give it half day sun.
It's not quite a sun-tolerant as many of the South African species.
Cold tolerance is into the low 20's F.

RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE - LIKES COASTAL SUN
STUNNING BLUE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 5 GALLON PLANTS
Encephalartos arenarius is
from the coastal dunes and forest close to Alexandria in the Eastern
Cape. This species is small to medium in mature size. Leaf
length can range from one to two meters (i.e. three to six feet
approximately) depending on cultivar and exposure to sun. Like
many of the Encephalartos from the Eastern Cape, this species is
variable in color, size and leaf type. E. arenarius can range in
color from a dull green to a powdery white color (bearing a likeness to E.
horridus).
The plants we are putting on special are the blue type. To get this
color they will want full sun or an ample amount of sun. It prefers a
well draining soil. Speed of growth of this cycad is good. You
could expect to have a nice garden sized plant from these 5 gallon
plants in about five to seven years. Caudex size of the plants on sale
is approximately 2 inches.
They all have six to seven leaves or more and are four to five years
old. These are showing a bit of their blue color already at this stage

ENCEPHALARTOS ARENARIUS X
TRISPINOSUS
DIFFERENT HYBRID TWO SOUTH AFRICAN CYCADS
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 and plants are a leaf further along than shown here.

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.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 6 INCH CALADIUM $17.50

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.

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 $475
Mention this Blog Only Special when you buy.
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
|
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
