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.

RHOPALOSTYLIS SAPIDA
GREAT BARRIER ISLAND FORM
ROBUST GROWER - HUGE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5G SIZE
There is very little published on this
rare form of Rhopalostylis
sapida.
It is native to only a small island off the coast of North
Island, New Zealand. It is rarely available. It is said to
have a huge, thick crown shaft when mature, long leaves, wide
leaflets and to be one of the most vigorous growing Rhopalostylis.
I am showing one photo c/o RPS below of a mature tree. These
can be mail ordered and would prefer part day sun in most
areas. If you are inland, do not put in full sun.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $95
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G $75

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
photo below shows a large plant at the nursery to demonstrate how
they’ll look when larger. Note: We have limited numbers
available with this sale.

ENCEPHALARTOS BUBALINUS
EXTREMELY RARE CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD
MEDIUM SIZE FROM TANZANIA
TEN DAY
SPECIAL THIS ACTUAL PLANT
This rare cycad is from northern Tanzania. It is small to medium sized
with trunks getting about four to six feet tall. It has a tendency to
sucker. Leaves are green to gray-green and about five to six feet
long. Leaf stems may have tomentum and leaflets are typically cupped.
In terms of sun, along the coast it may tolerate full sun but half day
sun might be easier. In desert areas give it a small amount of sun or
strong filtered light. Cold hardiness appears to be in the mid-twenties
F. The plant on special is in a 15g pot and has a six inch caudex.
This is an extremely rare cycad to obtain.
REGULAR PRICE THIS PLANT $1200
SALES PRICE THIS ACTUAL PLANT $925
We can ship this plant. Remember to mention this Special at the time of
purchase. The sale plant is shown in the first five photos.

ENCEPHALARTOS CERINUS
DWARF SOUTH AFRICAN SPECIES
VERY SMALL CYCAD
GRAY-GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
This rare dwarf species of South African cycad is quite petite and never
gets over four feet tall. Leaves are gray-green to sea foam green
and about three feet long. A mature caudex is six to eight inches.
Thi species likes sun and is cold hardy to the low 20's F. This is
a rare and sought out species and never inexpensive. We are
putting older band size plants (not one leafers) on sale. We do
have an assortment of sizes available.

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNII
A BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
NO SPINES ON THE LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE ONE GALLON SIZE
This is a popular blue cycad from the Eastern Cape area of South Africa.
Leaflets are without spines except at the tip. They are also thin
leaflets, blue in color. 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. Leaf color in sun is intensely blue like E.
horridus.
But, you'll only see this color with full, hot sun. 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 good sized one gallon plants we're putting on special.
They have at least four leaves which are getting pretty long.
These are a piece of cake to ship, but only within the U.S.
REGULAR PRICE ONE GALLON $100

VARIEGATED RHAPIS EXCELSA
EXOTIC - TEND TO BE SMALL, MINIATURE PALMS
DON'T LIKE TOO MUCH
NITROGEN
LIMITED SUPPLIES AVAILABLE
TEN DAY
SPECIAL ANY VARIEGATED RHAPIS WE HAVE
This is another post to remind readers that we still offer a good
supply of the highly coveted variegated Rhapis
excelsa.
Known as the "Gems of the Orient", these striking plants typically have
yellow or white variegation on green leaves. Most plants at mature
size are three to six feet. There are many exotic varieties - most
popular in Japan where affluent collectors compete to obtain the most
striking plants. Propagation is by divisions only. So, one
must mother plants for divisions so you'd have a plant to sell.
The plant leaflet
photos below are an assortment of our Nursery plants.
The variegation consists of very narrow bands of yellow on green.
They are sort of hard to see here. On any given leaflets there are
lots of these narrow, subtle stripes.
Contact us if you are interested in getting one. BTW, these are
never inexpensive plants. And, they are all different. The
variegation seems to be different from leaf to leaf on all varieties.

DYPSIS LUCUBENSIS
TALL, THIN TRUNKED PINNATE PALM
FLUFFY, PLUMOSE LEAVES
THIS IS THE SUCKERING FORM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species of palm is typically single trunk but there are suckering
forms. This is what we are
offering here. It is native
to island of Nossi-Be off the coast of Madagascar. It can reach
heights of over thirty feet. It has leaves arranged in three ranks
- "tristichous". Trunk diameter is about 8 inches and the
crown shaft is a rusty-brown color and not elongated. It is a
difficult species to find nowadays. I'd recommend growing it in
full sun along the coast. I'd estimate cold hardiness to be in the
mid-twenties F. We have nice 5 gallons on special.
Note the interesting leaflets arrangement.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $95
TEN DAY SPECIAL 1 GALLON $75
Remember: Mention this Special for this price when you purchase.
We only have a small number available.

ROYSTONEA REGIA
THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
LOVES SUN AND HEAT
PLANTS ON SPECIAL SIX FEET TALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This pinnate New World species is another
favorite of mine. There are multiple species of Roystonea. The
most common and sought after species is the Cuban Royal, Roystonea
regia. Compared to the South American Royal Palm, Roystonea
regia's leaves hang down past (lower than) the midway point of the
crown. Roystonea oleracea's leaves stop at the "half moon"
point and don't hang down near the trunk.
Royal Palms love heat and sun. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees
F. They are fast growers. We have a pretty good supply
available of assorted sizes. Note how the base of the well grown Royal
Palm is quite swollen and fat. On up the trunk there is variable
swelling present. The plants I'm putting on special today are an easily
shipped size of 5 gallon but would take a tall box. They are about
6 feet tall in their pots. BTW, on the garden shots below, the
first two were taken in the San Diego area.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $95
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $75

BUTIA CAPITATA BLUE
EASY TO GROW, NOT TOO TALL
SUPER BLUE COLOR - COLD HARDY
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
recently got in some more of the 15g size. But, there are very
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.
These are cold hardy to about 15 degrees and demand full, hot
sun.
REGULAR PRICE 15G $185
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $150

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

DIOON EDULE
SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED MEXICAN CYCAD
FOR A CYCAD, VERY COLD HARDY
TOLERATES DESERT SUN - ONE OF BEST FOR THIS
TEN DAY SPECIAL BIG 15 GALLON PLANTS
Dioon edule is
a typically small to medium sized sun-loving cycad from Mexico.
There are known to be about six different varieties of this species -
all from different localities. Leaves are typically green to
blue-green. Leaflets at pointed at the end and otherwise
un-armed. Dioon edule is one
of the few cycads that tolerates hot direct desert sun. The Sago
Palm can't claim this ability. Cold tolerance is excellent, being
able to take cold weather into the teens F. We recently got in a
handful of great 15 gallon plants with caudexes of about 6 inches.
They are gorgeous.
REGULAR PRICE THESE 15 GALLON PLANTS $400
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS GROUP OF CYCADS $250
This is a great buy. But, remember to mention this Special for

SYAGRUS OLERACEA
THIN TRUNK & TALL SOLITARY PALM
PLUMOSE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species of single trunk pinnate palm is
native to Brazil and can get to heights of fifty to sixty feet. It
can be grown in Southern California and is a smaller version of the
Queen Palm. Leaves are green and plumose. It wants
full sun and is cold hardy into the mid to upper 20's F. One
special are nice 5 gallon plants, still with their juvenile foliage.

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.
REGULAR PRICE 15 GALLON $195
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON $170

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

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.
REGULAR PRICE 1G $55

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.
REGULAR PRICE 5G THIS SPECIES $95
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $75
But, remember to mention this special when purchasing to get this price.

MUSA GRAN NAIN
PRODUCES EDIBLE BANANA
SEMI-DWARF SIZE - 6 TO 8 FEET
BEAUTIFUL LEAVES - SOME COLD HARDINESS
TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species of Banana produces quickly large
amounts of fruit. It is of medium height, never too tall. It makes
clusters of yellow banana - the type you'll see in many stores. But,
yours will taste better when they are right from the garden. This plant
wants full sun and can be grown in cooler areas that see a freeze. If
the leaves burn with cold, the plant usually comes back in spring.
We've been told folks in Zone 8 are growing this plant. Note how
attractive the leaves are.

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

DYPSIS LEPTOCHEILOS
THE TEDDY BEAR PALM
RUST COLORED CROWN SHAFT
THIN SILVER RINGED TRUNK
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This great palm from Madagascar is known for its rusty-brown/red crown
shaft that is quite fuzzy to the touch. It therefore has its
common name of the Teddy Bear Palm. It is not a huge palm, usually
getting up to about twenty-five feet with a six inch thick trunk.
Trunk color is silver with prominent rings. Leaf color is green.
Right on the coast it takes full sun easily. Far inland would
require part day sun or filtered light. Cold tolerance is down to
about 25 degrees F. This is one of the most popular palms around. I’m
offering our 5 gallon plants that were repotted this summer. They
are nicely sized but would like to grow for a while in their present
containers.

BECCARIOPHOENIX FENESTRALIS
AKA "BECCARIOPHOENIX WINDOWS""
LARGER PINNATE PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
TEN DAY SPECIAL RARELY SEEN 5G SIZE
It was not too long ago when Beccariophoenix was felt to be a
monotypic genus with only one species. Now it is recognized that
there are three different species:
Beccariophoenix species "windows", presently called Beccariophoenix
fenestralis.
Beccriophoenix madagascarensis, previously known as "Beccariophoenix
no windows"
Beccariophoenix alfredii, a more recently named species.
All three are single trunk, medium to large plants from Madagascar.
Along the coast, all can take full sun. Estimated cold hardiness
is into the mid and perhaps lower 20's F. The species we're
putting on special is the 5g size of the "windows" variety, B.
fenestralis. You'll not see these around hardly at all in Southern
California. This "windows" form has leaf openings, similar to
small window panes, in the leaf - between the leaflets. With time
these disappear and it becomes a pinnate palm. The 5 gallon on special
are very nicely sized but repotted this summer, so keep them in their
pots for a while.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON THIS RARE PALM $100
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE $75

HYOPHORBE INDICA
A BEAUTIFUL MEDIUM SIZED PALM
THIN TRUNK, BEAUTIFUL LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species of medium sized palm from Reunion Island has been
grown by many successfully in Southern CA. It doesn't get too tall
(about 20 ft), likes full sun and tolerates temperatures into the mid
20's F. When young some varieties show a red-brown color to the
stem and base. In addition to not being very large in height, it
also has a rather thin trunk as you can see below. It is pinnate
and crown shafted. It is also a quick grower.
Shown here are some nicely sized 5g plants that were repotted
this summer. Trunk size
mature will be thin, perhaps six to eight inches. This species
prefers heat and sun along the coast. Of
note, this species is in the same family as
Hyophorbe verschafeltii, the Spindle Palm and Hyophorbe lagenicaulis, the Bottle Palm
(both of which we also offer for sale).
But, H. indica is more cold hardy than either of these
species. The 5g on sale
below are summer repots. The
last photo shows a nursery plant in a 35 gallon pot.

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA
THE PURPLE CROWN SHAFT KING PALM
VERY BEAUTIFUL - GOOD GROWER
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 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. For types
of King Palms, this species is stated to have the thickest trunk.
I don't think I agree with this and feel A. maxima is thicker.
Most I've seen have a trunk diameter of twelve inches or somewhat more.
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 15g size which
we're putting on a Ten Day Special. This size is shown in the
first two rows of photos. You'll note that the crown shaft is
beginning to pick up the purple color. We also have other sizes of
this species for sale.

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

ENCEPHALARTOS MSINGANUS
NEARLY EXTINCT IN THE WILD
GREEN SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE SEEDLINGS
This species is endemic to Msinga district in KwaZulu-Natal province,
South Africa. E. msinganus is on the verge of
extinction, where ever shrinking populations are small and scattered.
This is a small to medium sized plant. Leaves get about about five feet
in length. Stems can reach up to three meters over the centuries, but
it is rare to see anything close to that size.
This species
was originally called Encephalartos msinga (after
its locality) but was later formally described as Encephalartos
msinganus. The leaves on this species are relatively short, are
green and generally are heavily armed on the leaflets and petioles. It
is quite rare to see this plant in cultivation and some make the
argument that it is equally rare to some of the (very rare) Transvaal
species.
In coastal and inland areas, this species wants to be in sun. For
desert areas, this species should be grown in partial sun or filtered
light. It requires a soil that drains well. The plants on sale are 4
years old, bigger and older than shown here and with about four to five
leaves.

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.

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.

This extremely rare single trunk tropical fan
palm is native to the Island of Molokai, HI. Mature, it is a medium
sized palm that gets 15 to 20 feet tall and has a think trunk. Leaves
are green, top and bottom, and leaves are divided about 50% from their
perimeter and are strongly pleated. It has a cold hardiness of
somewhere in the upper 20's F. It wants sun or part sun right on the
coast. In desert areas I'd recommend strong filtered light. This
species is almost impossible to find on the U.S. mainland. We're
offering 5 gallon on sale.

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

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

DYPSIS AMPASINDAVA
SPECTACULAR TALL, CROWN SHAFTED PALM
NATIVE TO MADAGASCAR AND NOSY BE ISLAND
ANOTHER UNBELIEVABLY RARE SPECIES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This super rare palm is often described as
unbelievably beautiful and spectacular. Also, it is essentially unknown
in cultivation. It is a tristichous palm with the leaves held in three
planes or "ranks". Leaves are green with drooping leaflets. Mature
height is 40 feet or more and it has a long, smooth green crown shaft.
Some have said this palm is the same as
Dypsis nauseosa
above, but mature plants appear totally different to me. We only have a
couple of these available and this is the first time we've offered them
in years.
From a cultural point of view, figure it wants to see some sun or
perhaps grow into the sun from partial sunlight. Cold tolerance is not
well known at this time. But, these plants came from a private
collection where near freezing temperatures were seen.

HIBISCUS MIDNIGHT

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

COCONUT PALM
COCOS NUCIFERA
A GORGEOUS TROPICAL PALM
VERY LARGE BRIGHT YELLOW FRUIT
VERY DIFFICULT TO GROW IN SOUTHERN CA
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 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.
Once in a while you'll hear of one that's gotten overhead. But,
invariably, even these die. All the photos here were taken in the
Miami, FL area. We do carry them from time to time in smaller
sizes but try to talk the customer out of getting one. But, you
may be able to grow one inside.

ROYSTONEA REGIA
THE CUBAN ROYAL PALM
LARGE SPECIMEN SIZED PLANTS AVAILABLE
SPECIMENS WITH FIFTEEN TO TWENTY-FIVE FEET OF TRUNK
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.

ALOCASIA CAL-ODORA
THE
MINIATURE ELEPHANT EAR
NEVER OVER ABOUT THREE FEET TALL
Customers often shy away from the regular Elephant Ear Alocasia because
of it's potential size of up to eight feet with huge leaves. There is
even one species that gets super tall and almost takes over the garden.
But, what I'm showing you here (Alocasia Cal-Odora) is a true
dwarf with plants that never get much above your knees. The leaves are
a foot wide and color is green. They are an ideal plant where you want
a low profile companion plant to cover the garden floor.
This species can take full coastal sun or part day sun and filtered
light in all areas. They do like and respond to water. We sell a ton
of these but do have limited supplies of five and fifteen gallon
plants. We often put them on sale for reduced prices. When people see
how they perform they often come back for more.

time to time we do put this species on special. Also, we offer super
unusual and different types of Alocasia, so if you
are a tropical plant freak, come and see us.

NEW RED EMERGING LEAF
DARK GREEN CROWN SHAFT

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.

SUPER OLD 5G PLANTS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G PLANTS
This interesting palm is a suckering blue fan palm is native
to Morocco. It's actually quite amazing that it took a long time
for taxonomists to realize that it was a species and had it's own unique
characteristics. It's definitely a deep blue color but also it
never gets as large as Chamaereops
humilus. The problem was that
there were also native short clones of the later. Chamaerops cerifera is one of the most cold hardy species for those of you in super
cold areas. I've had reports of it going down to 13 degrees F.
Mature height is about six feet or so. Color is blue in hot sun.
This species does sucker. The plants on special here are nice 5g

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

BRAHEA NITIDA
FLAT GREEN LEAF - NATIVE TO MEXICO
CAN TOLERATE LESS THAN FULL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G 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 5g
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, which was
taken by a friend of mine, Justen Dobbs, in habitat and in full sun.
The leaves in full sun are more divided and not as tropical appearing.

CHAMAEDOREA KLOTZSCHIANA
RARE UNDERSTORY PALM - GROUPED LEAFLETS
SINGLE TRUNK - MEDIUM SIZED
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
This is a single trunk species from Mexico that is most known for having
grouped leaflets along the rachis. It has a thin trunk about an
inch in diameter and a somewhat open crown. The leaflets are
attached to the rachis at irregular angles so that the leaflets look as
if they were a group of bow ties attached to the leaf stem. Cold
hardiness is into the mid-twenties F. It likes filtered light or
perhaps a little bit of sun. I think this is a species that would
look better planted as a small colony with multiple plants. Mature
height is from ten to fifteen feet. I've shown two close-ups of
the leaflets as this is the most charming characteristic of this
species.
This size is easy to mail order and may be of interest to folks in
cooler but not super cold areas.

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

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA

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

This species is interesting because, in the wild, it is known as a dwarf
species that forms minimal trunk. But, when it is grown
domestically, it forms a trunk about the size of
Butia capitata.
It, as you'd guess, comes from Paraguay, with habitat extending into
Brazil and northern Argentina. The color is a blue-green, not as
silver as Butia capitata. The leaves are strongly arched as shown.
It is a full sun plant with cold hardiness into the teens F.
We haven’t had them available for a few years.
We are now offering band size seedlings.
Culture includes full sun and good draining soil. Cold
hardiness is into the teens F. I am also showing a photo of a 15g
plant from the nursery that is no longer available.

DIOON ARGENTEUM
A SUPER RARE SILVER-GREEN DIOON FROM MEXICO
FINE WHITE HAIRS GIVE WHITE FUZZ TO THE LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZED SEEDLINGS
In about the
year 2003, this new species was discovered and described by cycad
taxonomists. Since then, it has been the dream of collectors to
obtain it. Native to Oaxaca, Mexico, it grows in a dry scrub
forest among pine trees at 2500 to 5000 foot elevations. It is
most known for its silver color to the leaves. This is because
leaflets and leaf stems have a plentiful amount of white hairs.
One can mistake these for a mealy bug infestation, but they are from
these hairs. I don’t know if it shows, but one photo below tries
to show a leaflet closeup to see the hairs.
Mature specimens have about a foot wide caudex and can get up to
15 feet. Along the coast it'd take full sun and should be cold
hardy to the low 20's F. The plants one sale are one leaf
seedlings and we’re offering them at a reduced price.
Many of you are probably unfamiliar with this species.

ENCEPHALARTOS ARENARIUS - BLUE
VARIETY
RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE - LIKES COASTAL SUN
STUNNING BLUE TO BLUE-GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL TWO SIZES!
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
plants in about five to seven years.
We're offering two sizes on
sale: One gallon and Two gallon. The first four photos are
of the one gallon plants followed by five photos of the two gallon size.
They all have multiple leaves with many starting to show the blue
color. Outdoors in full sun they develop more of the blue color.
These are easy to mail order. I’m also showing gardens plant and
one large nursery specimen below.

ENCEPHALARTOS MUCHII
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.

VARIEGATED SHELL GINGER
NICE 5G SIZE READY FOR THE GARDEN

TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This is a super popular variety of ginger that
blossoms in the summer. Blossoms are white with yellow and red
throats. Mature height of these plants is six to seven feet. The
leaves are prominently variegated with lighter green and yellow.
Blossoms are long lived but not fragrant. 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 last photo shows our 15g

TEN DAY
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
offers three two nice qualities: Short stature, pretty good cold
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.

TOLERATES FULL SUN - FAIRLY COLD HARDY
DIFFICULT TO LOCATE
MULTIPLE LEAF COLORS SEEN
This is a great Bromeliad for Southern California
- or for many areas in the country where severe cold is not seen.
Native to eastern Brazil, they get heights of three to four feet and
tolerate full sun easily here along our coast. Cold hardiness is into
the mid to upper twenties F. There are varieties that show yellow,
orange, red and several other colors.
I prefer the colorful forms although straight green is also
seen. The problem is that they are hard to find. These are a fantastic
full sun companion plant. Shown below are plants that we have at the
nursery along with a couple of garden pictures of this species. Most
are yellow but there's a few "orangeade" types shown. They came from a
yellow-orange mom as offsets. They should grow in sun to show nice

PRESENT SHORTAGE ON THE MARKET
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This beautiful large palm from northern Thailand has been given a lot of
common names. It is a dramatically attractive shade producing palm
with long, wide leaves. It is a monocarpic species so one only gets
seeds when a tree blossoms and dies. In recent times it’s been near
impossible to find this species around. We have available somewhat
small 5 gallon plants that we’re putting on special - shown in the first
5 photos. I'm also showing some monster 25 gallons that we have
available.
This species is totally different than the more
common Caryota urens. It is not as tall and has a thicker
trunk. Mature height is about 35 feet. Leaves are 14 feet long and 12
feet wise, so you’ll get a lot of shade below. It is cold hardy to
about 22 degrees F. It is quick growing and will tolerate full coastal
sun.

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON & 15G PLANTS
This tropical flowering tree is extremely
popular but near impossible to find for sale. We've not had it for
several years but are offering it again today. It is native to regions
stretching from southern Mexico to South America. It has a "snakeskin"
smooth green trunk that is narrow to medium size in diameter, expanding
with age. Limbs are held in a typically horizontal position (like many
tropical trees) and leaflets are green and small as shown below.
Beneath an overhead tree one gets very light shade - not dense. Thus,
it allows plants that have an intermediate need for light to thrive
below. It is fast growing and can get to well over 30 feet. It wants
full sun and will go deciduous if you see a freeze. With this said,
some have grown it in areas that see temperatures in the mid to upper
20's F. We're offering two sizes on sale as shown. These are summer
transplants into these containers. Both sizes are almost too big to

ARENGA PINNATA
THE SUGAR PALM
GOOD SIZED 15G AVAILABLE
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE
As many of you know, Arengas are
usually suckering palms. But, there are several single trunk
species. Arenga pinnata is
one of these. It is felt to be native to Indonesia and is a
large palm. It is a pinnate palm with a fibrous trunk made from
woven fibers. Overall height is forty to fifty feet and the
trunk gets to a diameter of two feet. The leaves are held
upright and can be over twenty feet long. The leaflets, like
all Arenga, has jagged terminal ends.
This is a monocarpic species and will die when the plant
flowers. Other suckering Arenga has new trunks to replace dying
flowering trunks. But, since this species has only one trunk,
like a Caryota it will be
gone a few years after the flowers appear. The Sugar Palm is a
full sun species with cold tolerance into the mid-twenties F.
Shown here is a 15g nursery plant and photos of mature
specimens. We also have 5g for sale. Note the woven material
on the trunk. It is very interesting to see in person. We are

GAUSSIA MAYA
A VERY DIFFERENT PALM FOR SO. CALIFORNIA
CAN SEE SWOLLEN BASE WHEN YOUNG
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE AND OLD 15 GALLON
In the "old days", this species was known as Opsiandra maya. It
is a single trunk pinnate palm that can be grown in Southern CA.
It has the interesting habit of getting a very swollen base, especially
when planted in the ground from a smaller plant. Interestingly enough,
this swollen base to the trunk abruptly disappears with age.
You'll note this bulge in the photos below. This species tends to hold
a limited number of leaves, about five to seven usually.
Along the coast it takes full sun. Cold tolerance is into the
mid-twenties F. The trunk diameter is about six to perhaps maximum
eight inches. I've grown it in part day sun, which it loved.
However, the trunk will often curve to seek more sun (see photo bottom
row). Some grow it in full sun with success. The plants on
special are very nice 15g with fat bases. I am showing several
below.

BURRETIOKENTIA HAPALA
AN EXOTIC NEW
CALEDONIAN PALM FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS
TEN DAY
SPECIAL BAND SIZE
In the mid-1980's I began to grow
some of the very cool palms from new Caledonia. By 1995 I was
totally into it and this led to my arranging the fantastic
International Palm Society Biennial trip to New Caledonia that
happened during my tenure as President in the year 2000. I just
didn't know of a better place for a bunch of palm enthusiasts to
go and see some of the best palms in the world. This species, Burretiokential
hapala, is one of those palms.
It is a crown shafted palm with a rather thin trunk of about
eight inches that gets to a height of approximately 25 to 30
feet. I has an intriguing brown color to the stems and crown
shaft area. It does not have the stripes you'd see with the Burretiokentia
vieilllardii. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F, or
perhaps a bit less. So, it's comparable to a King Palm. If you
can grow a King, you can grow this species. One of the keys to
culture is not letting the ground it's in go dry. This species,
like Chambeyronia, responds
to water.
Shown here are the band size I'm putting on special. The one
larger nursery plant below is a nice 25 gallon. I'd recommend
morning sun, a few hours of mid day sun, or bright filtered
light. It's a great species to grow.

These cannot be transplanted once established in the garden.

PANDANUS UTILIS
THE SCREW PINE
STILT ROOTS - SPIRALING LEAVES
RARELY SEEN FOR SALE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
The Screw Pine is native to Madagascar. It is not a Pine Tree but
rather a Monocot. The reason it's sought after is that it does
well in many areas of Southern California. As I type this
presentation, if I look to my left outside my office window, there is a
20 foot specimen with it's snakeskin-like trunk, trifurcating head of
leaves fifteen feet overhead and and spiraling four to five foot leaves.
The leaves have sharp, small spines at their edges. The desirable utilis species
has red along the leaf edges. They have about one inch thick stilt
roots and a smooth, snake-skin like trunk about 6 inches thick.
Mine started in part day sun and has worked its way upwards into more
full sun. That's when the trunk branched into several heads of
leaves. Cold tolerance is into the mid to upper twenties.
Growth rate is medium
The only other Pandanus I've had good luck with is P. furcatas.
Most of the other species (I've tried many including the popular variety
seen commonly in HI) just don't make it here. I was fortunate
enough to get some nice plants from a private grower here in Southern
CA. It's near impossible to find these for sale.

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

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.

TRACHYCARPUS TAKAGHI
NATURAL WINDMILL HYBRID
SEEDS FROM WILD
FIVE GALLON
PLANTS - TEN DAY SPECIAL
About fifteen years ago I received seeds from
Tobias Spanner that he told me were a natural hybrid between
T. fortunei and
T. takil.
The seeds were wild collected. Tobias told me that these were named
Trachycarus takaghi.
I germinated the seeds and now, many years later, am offering very old 5
gallon plants. They have proven to be extremely slow growing. The hopes
would be they'd be something different and pick up the super cold
hardiness of the takil.
You can see that these plants are crawling the pot horizontally as
opposed to trunking. Perhaps they will prove to be a dwarf species. I
have no habitat photos but am showing a plant from a customer in Texas
(TM) that was planted about ten years ago in his garden. You can see,
in that time, it certainly has not produced much trunk. I'm putting
this hybrid on special but only have a few for sale.

margin. See the photo below to examine the leaflets. Like all
Caryotas, each stem is monocarpic and will die after flowering.
But, other stems will grow and replace it. Cold tolerance appears to be
a bit below a freeze. This is an extremely rare palm that you never see

on poles, posts, fences, mounted to trees or simply grown in the ground
among other plants. Almost all species blossom once a year and the
blossoms are long lived. Blossoms appear in almost every color
imaginable, anything from the rainbow. Plants propagate by basal
suckers and only really need care once a year when old plants are
removed from the cluster.
Photographs here show plants that are attached to posts, mounted in
trees and are used in water features. There are some species that
can get up to five or six feet tall and are quite spectacular.
If one wishes, he can just put the bromeliad, with it's container, right
into the ground. Some species tolerate full sun and many love filtered
light and blossom well in such light.
Although we are not a "bromeliad only" nursery, we typically have a
great supply of the most desirable types available for sale. We
emphasize beauty and color in our Bromeliads rather than rarity.
We consider one of our specialties our ability to offer a great
selection of interesting and colorful companion plants.

CERATOZAMIA HILDAE
DWARF FILTERED LIGHT PLANT
MAXIMUM GARDEN HEIGHT TYPICALLY SIX FEET
TEN DAY SPECIAL ANY SIZE THIS SPECIES!
The first five photos below show an example of a really nice citrus pot
sized mature plant with a male cone. The caudex size is
approximately 4 inches and it is representative of some plants we're
putting on special. Approximate age is ten years. This
species is very small with leaves rarely to four feet long and a caudex
size under six inches. The hallmark of this species is the
grouping of the leaflets - like little bow ties put onto the leaf stem.
Leaf color is always green. Pictures below demonstrate this.
I'd recommend filtered light. It doesn't take up much room so it
can fit into any garden. It's a very "cute" species that people
like. It's also a wonderful patio plant. I'd give it
filtered light. Cold tolerance is into the low 20's F. These
cycads are super easy to ship anywhere within the U.S. We ship
plants in their containers, soil and all. It has also been grown
by some as a smaller interior cycad in the home. It is quite "user
friendly".

SOMEWHAT COLD SENSITIVE
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON PLANTS
The Cohune Palm is a large palm. But, it is
also a very slow growing palm. Native to regions stretching from Mexico
down into many countries in Central America, it is known to get forty to
eighty feet tall with leaves that are 30 feet long. They are generally
held in an upright position. The crown can be thirty feet wide. Mature
basal trunk diameter is two feet. Leaves are green and this palm has no
crown shaft. As shown below, seeds are very large and slow and
difficult to germinate. Most feel it is a marginal grower here in
Southern CA with a cold tolerance of about a freeze. But, some are
growing it here. It wants full sun. It is very difficult to find. The
5g plants below were moved from one gallon plants into their new

PARAJUBAEA TORALLYI
THE SOUTH AMERICAN "COCONUT PALM"
TALL SUN PALM – SUPER ATTRACTIVE
TEN DAY SPECIAL GOOD SIZED SQUAT 15 GALLON
This morning I thought I'd talk about this South American palm and
include a fair amount of information. I'm doing this because I've
found there is often confusion with the genus "Parajubaea".
I included the common name of "South American Coconut" for this genus
because the new palm enthusiast will most likely forget these long
winded scientific names. I particularly want to emphasize P.
torallyi because
I think it's such a great plant and easy to grow. It has two forms
as described below.
Parajubaeas are all from South America. About twenty-five
years ago the genus was "reborn" with the importation of seeds of
various species from habitat. Enthusiasts had to learn more
because they had "new plants" in front of them. Also, this gave
palm people the opportunity to grow all of the species. There are
three species and one sub-variety. These are Parajubaea
cocoides, sunkha, and torallyi. Parajubaea torallyi has
a sub-variety named P. torallyi variety microcarpa. P.
cocoides has historically been the species that people have grown
for the longest period. This species is a bit different appearing
than all the others with greener leaves and slower growth. The
other three types of Parajubaeas began their notoriety when
seeds began being imported. The seeds are very large (hence the
term "Coconut"), shaped like a Coconut seed in a way, and some have the
most peculiar wings or flanges at the end.
Of these three other species, all are easier to grow and faster than P.
cocoides.
Long term survival has also been better in California. All are
from high elevation in the Andes in Bolivia. P.
torallyi comes
from elevations of up to ten thousand feet and has been reported to be
the "highest elevation palm tree in the world". Cold tolerance of
these three later species is excellent, with some surviving into the
upper teens F. All have a somewhat silver-green leaf and leaflets.
All have a husky trunk. To compare these palms, here's a
synopsis.
Parajubaea torallyi: Tallest of the three,
up to fifty feet. Husky trunk averaging 18 inches. Largest
seed of the group. Fast growing in the ground.
Parajubaea torallyi variety microcarpa:
Smaller than regular torallyi, trunk height to 30 perhaps 40
feet, thinner trunk, smaller seed, equal growth habit. These are
super hard to find nowadays.
Parajubaea sunkha: Originally
thought to be variety of torallyi, now known to be a species.
Smallest of these three species with trunk height 25 feet. In
habitat, grows at lower elevation, 6000 feet.
Parajubaea cocoides: Natural habitat
not known, may actually be a variety of P. torallyi, less cold
hardy than others above, less silver in the leaves. Not as good a
grower as any of the three above.
This is a full sun genus.
It is best to start them in strong filtered light. Germination of
seeds is difficult and demands a "long thermometer" with hot days and
cold nights. The 8th photo below is by Gaston Torres and the
last photo by PlantAPalm website.

MULE PALM
BUTIA X SYAGRUS (QUEEN PALM)
MEDIUM SIZE MATURE HYBRID PALM
SUPER COLD HARDY - TO ABOUT 16 DEGREES
TEN DAY SPECIAL SQUAT 15G SIZE
This popular inter-generic hybrid palm was probably first created by a
man made cross of both parents about a hundred years ago. It has
been given a trade name of "Butiagrus nabonnandii" but most
people call it the Mule Palm. The latter name is utilized because
it's been found on most specimens to have sterile fruit or no fruit at
all. Any seeds formed almost always won't germinate to grow
a new palm. Butia capitata is a monoecious species. This
means that flower stocks have both male and female flowers.
To produce Mule Palm plants, it takes a tremendous amount of work to
viable and true seeds. On the seed producing Butia flowerstock,
all the male flowers must be meticulously removed manually to prevent
self-pollination by itself. Only after this can the Queen pollen
but put onto the receptive Butia blossoms. This takes a lot of
experience, effort and time. This is one of the reasons this
hybrid is so rare and usually pricey.
Mature height is up to thirty feet, much shorter than the Queen Palm.
But, cold hardiness is better than a Queen as well. It'll take
temperatures down to about 16 degrees F. This species prefers a bright
sun location and can be grown in the desert in full sun.
On special are our squat 15g plants. They are six to seven feet
tall. They are ready for planting.

SUPER RARE HYBRID PINNATE PALM
NEW TO THE MARKET
(BUTIA X JUBAEA) X SYAGRUS
FANTASTIC HYBRID – VERY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL - THESE PLANTS JUST IN
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. This is a
chance to get a nice specimen in a squat 15g pot with a thick base for a
great price. But, we only have a few of them. I can ship
this size.

humilis pollen to an existing hybrid of Rhapis multifida x
humilis. Plants will have thin trunks, leaflets will be green and
narrow. Leaflet tips will be pointed. It'll be a filtered

The trunk is thin and clean over time. Leaves are somewhat plumose
and green. Fruits are fairly large and yellow in color. Some
comment that is is similar to S. picrophylla. It
is a full sun palm with an, as of yet, unknown cold tolerance. I
suspect it'll go into the twenties for sure. It is a newly
introduced species so there's little cultural information.
Note on the mature palm pictures that the leaves down go much
below the spherical circle of crown leaves.

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 $185
As usual, mention our Blog when ordering to get this price. The
