BLECHNUM GIBBUM
THE SILVER LADY FERN
THE MINIATURE TREE FERN
YES, IT IS A MINIATURE AND STAYS SMALL!
I am really fond of this cute and dwarf type of
Tree Fern native to an assortment of Pacific Islands stretching from
Hawaii to the Asian Pacific. The reason I like it is because it
stays small over time. To make this point, I am going to first
shown you a 15g plant that we got from a private collection.
You'll see this plant in the first two rows of photos. The third
row shows a standard 5 gallon nursery plant. You'll note that, in
twenty years, three inches of trunk turns into two feet of trunk.
Now, that's either from super slow growth or genetics. I think
it's the latter. The tallest specimen I've seen in a garden is
about five feet tall overall. Trunk diameter is four inches or
less. It likes filtered light and can take cold weather into the
mid-twenties F or maybe a bit less. We have 1 gallon size and
often 5 gallon for sale. These are easy to mail order.

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. Be aware that this palm doesn’t do well in shade and
doesn’t want to be shaded out by overhead trees. The boxed plants shown

BISMARCKIA NOBILIS
BLUE SINGLE TRUNK FAN PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
A DEFINITE STATEMENT PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 24 INCH BOX SIZE
For several decades we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from
Madagascar. These are the blue form. This palm species loves
sun, heat and is cold hardy to the low 20’s F. It doesn’t like the
grower to fool with or cut its roots. These cannot be transplanted once
established in the garden. They get a husky trunk and probably about 35
- 40 feet tall in many decades. The fan leaf is intensely blue,
especially with full hot sun.
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. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F. Shown
below is our 24 inch box size.
These are followed by the 15 gallon size in the next post.
Both sizes are on sale.
This species is a real “show-stopper”.
Literally people driving by will stop to look at one in your
front yard and ask: “Hey Man, what is that blue palm tree?”

CHAMAEDOREA WOODSONIANA
TALL, THICK TRUNK, BEAUTIFUL GREEN PINNATE
PALM
DOES BEST IN SHADE
– STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This is a very large,
single trunk species that is native to a long range, spanning from
Mexico into the northern parts of South America. It is very sought
after by enthusiasts and is known as one of the tallest of all Chamaedoreas -
reaching heights of
possibly over forty feet. The trunk has a prominent crownshaft and
is four inches thick or more. It's leaves are four to five feet
long with a prominent petiole. Leaf color is a deep green and, in
cross section, the leaves are slightly keeled. In Southern
California, this species prefers shade or a bit of sun.
It has been said that this species cannot take a freeze.
More recent reports suggest this species can tolerate temperatures into
the upper 20's F. It is known to be growing in the San Francisco
Bay area. It is a quick grower and sometimes the base of the trunk
is swollen. Shown is our 15g size on sale. We have limited
numbers available.

CHAMAEDOREA CATARACTARUM
THE
CAT PALM
A SEMI-DWARF CLUSTERING PALM
SEMI-DWARF TO SIX FEET
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
This species of palm has been sold under the name "Cat Palm", which is
an abbreviation for "cataractarum".
For Chamaedoreas and
in the past, it was fairly easy to find. Nowadays it's very
difficult to find, especially with mature size as shown here. It
is a clustering palm that gets six feet tall. It really doesn't
form any trunk. It likes water as it has a native habitat near
river beds. It is cold hardy into the mid 20's F. and I'd
recommend, at most, a few hours of sun or filtered light. It is
native to the southern areas of Mexico and possibly into areas of
Central America. With less than adequate water it tends to look
scrappy. At the nursery, we offer mostly large plants, either 10
or 15 gallon size. They typically are suckering with a near mature
height.
REGULAR PRICE THIS SIZE $225
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $200

SYAGRUS SCHIZOPHYLLA
MEDIUM HEIGHT GREEN SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM
A SEED PRODUCING PARENT OF THE BEAUTIFUL COCONUT QUEEN!
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON PLANTS
This single trunk species is from Brazil and never gets very tall.
Usually they are never over twenty feet in height. A most
prominent feature of this species are the retained leaf bases as shown
below. It is super slow growing and, when mature, makes sherbet
orange fruits of good size. It is unusual for a Syagrus 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
you’ll get one of the best looking palms ever - The Coconut Queen Palm.
This latter hybrid never gets very tall and really resembles a Coconut
Palm. We’re putting 15 gallon size of S. schizophylla on sale.
We only have a few. Want to be the next palm hybridizer?
You better get one of these.

BISMARCKIA SPECIES
MAYOTTE ISLAND
THE RARE GREEN BISMARCKIA
A BISMARCKIA BUT WITHOUT THE BLUE COLOR
VERY ATTRACTIVE, LARGER GREEN FAN PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD 15G SIZED PLANTS
One of the favorite characteristics of Bismarckia is the blue
color to the leaves. But, there is a green variety on the island of
Madagascar. At another location, there is an endemic green Bismarckia known
as the "Mayotte Island" form. There is very little published
about these green forms of the Bismarck Palm. It likes sun and is
probably cold hardy into the low 20's F. Most feel it's not quite
as cold hardy as the blue form. On these green Bismarckias,
often you'll see red in the leaf stem or a hint of it on the leaves.
Of course, this is a full sun palm. This is a very rare palm to
find as everyone seeks out the blue type. But, we have this more
rare green form and have found they are showing nice cold hardiness to
the low 20's F. The plant shown below is about twelve years old.
We have a handful of them.

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

COCCOTHRINAX BARBADENSIS
MEDIUM SIZED, NARROW TRUNK
VERY "CUTE PALM" WITH GREEN OR SILVER GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 5 GALLON
We at the nursery are very proud that we offer a good selection of these
interesting New World fan palms - Coccothrinax. This
species is native to the Caribbean region and gets to heights of about
30 feet in many decades. Leaf color is green to silver-green and
trunks are typically six inches thick or a bit more. This species
loves full hot sun and is cold tolerant into the mid-twenties F.
Many are growing it with good success. In pots, all Coccothrinax are
painfully slow. It's taken us about six years to produce the 5g
plants you see here. We do have other sizes for sale and multiple
other species of this genus. In the ground they are much faster.

CRYOSOPHILA
STAURACANTHA
SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED TROPICAL FAN PALM
SILVER UNDERSIDE TO THE LEAVES
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 tall. Two things are quite noteworthy:
First, the undersides of the leaves are a silver-white. A picture
below of sale size shows this quite well. 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. You have to have an overhead crown
of leaves to really see the silver color.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $135
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE $110

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.

PRICE 5 GALLON $135

RAVENEA SAMBIRANENSIS
RARE SINGLE TRUNK PALM FROM MADAGASCAR
WHEN MATURE, LANDSCAPE SIZED SPECIMEN
TEN DAY SPECIAL FIVE 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 five 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 the photo below.

DYPSIS SPECIES "LAFAMAZANGA"
LITTLE KNOWN ABOUT IT
SUCKERING THIN TRUNKED SPECIES
TEN DAY
SPECIAL BAND SEEDLINGS
Very little is known about this palm. It's even
unclear as to whether it's a true species or some kind of Dypsis
hybrid. It is a thin trunked, suckering species that enthusiasts
are growing and discussing. Many are having success with it. The
trunks are about 2 inches thick, the crown shafts have dark speckles and
a silver color and the trunks are prominently ringed. Consensus is to
grow it in filtered light and let it work its way into the sun. This is
the first time we've offered them for sale. These bands have 2 to 3
leaves. They are extremely rare. Very limited numbers.
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE $55

CERATOZAMIA KUESTERIANA
SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED CYCAD
COLORFUL EMERGING NEW LEAVES
INLAND FILTERED LIGHT OR COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE AS SHOWN
This attractive cycad comes from the Sierra Mountain Range in Mexico
near Tamaulipas. There is grows among overhead oak trees. It
is a small to medium sized plant, perhaps at most getting a four foot
tall caudex. Leaf length is four to five feet. Leaflets are
long and narrow, coming to a point. Leaflet color is green.
But, newly emerging leaves are a brown-red as shown below. With
the 8th photo by Ian Edwards below, you can see how attractive a new
swirl of leaves can be. Petioles can be smooth or armed with small
spines.
This is an easy to grow species. It can take
coastal full sun but inland demands filtered light. Cold tolerance
is to the low 20's F. This species is being grown in northern CA
and in some other states where they see cooler weather. I’m
showing you two plants in citrus pots with new reddish-brown emerging
leaves. Caudex sizes are 3
to 3.5 inches. Soil should
be well draining in the garden. This species also makes an
attractive containerized patio plant.
REGULAR PRICE THIS SIZE CITRUS POT $385

ENCEPHALARTOS AEMULANS
GREEN, RARE CYCAD FROM SOUTH AFRICA
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED IN THE WILD
TEN DAY
SPECIAL VERY LARGE BAND PLANTS
This species of green South African cycad is a
medium sized mature plant with trunks up to about five feet. They
are un-branched and have green leaves that are about five feet long.
The leaves are straight and leaflets point toward the end of the leaf.
In the wild stands in the Natal area of RSA, there are only about a
hundred plants remaining. Shown here in the first row of photos
are 4 to 5 year old band plants - very large for their container.
The second row of photos show a huge boxed specimen at our nursery.
The last row shows domestic plants and a close up of the leaflets.
We're putting older band seedlings on sale.
They'd be easy to mail order. In our area, this is a full sun
plant with a cold hardiness into the low 20's F.
REGULAR PRICE THESE BANDS $75
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE BANDS $65
Remember, mention this Special when you order.
We, of course, have other sizes of this species for sale.

ENCEPHALARTOS NATALENSIS
TRANSKI FORM
MEDIUM TO LARGE GREEN CYCAD - THINNER
LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS ACTUAL PLANT
Please read above where I introduced this South
African species and commented that there were various "forms" native to
different localities. This variety is from a habitat in Transki.
Little is published about these plants or presented on the Internet.
From what I see, this variety has green leaflets that are thinner than
other varieties and have less spination on the leaflets. I anticipate
mature size will be similar to the regular
E. natalensis
above. The plant on special is in a 15g pot and has a caudex of about 6
inches. Culture and cold hardiness should be comparable. We have
several available. Sorry, I do not have nor can I find good photos of a
mature specimen. We only have one or two left.

It has a mature height under two feet in the sun.
It can be planted as an individual plant or be used as a ground

FARFUGIUM JAPONICUM AUREOMACULATUM
THE SPOTTED LEOPARD PLANT
FORMERLY KNOWN AS SPOTTED LIGULARIA
LILY-LIKE, FLAT GREEN LEAVES WITH YELLOW SPOTS
TAKES SUN - LIKES WATER
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 3 & 5 GALLON SIZE
This is a more rare type of Ligularia – with the yellow spots on the
leaves. Otherwise it behaves
like the more often seen green type.
It forms small clusters of shiny green leaf plants with prominent
yellow spots on the leaves.
Leaves don't get over 18 inches long with the green leaf being eight to
ten inches wide maximum. A
single plant can hold twenty or thirty leaves.
Flowers come in the fall are yellow, daisy-like and medium sized.
This species enjoys water and will droop over with too little water.
Then, when given water, they bounce right back. It's a good
"indicator plant" for how well you are watering the garden.
They'll take sun in many areas or part day sun. In full sun, give
them plenty of water. If you are far inland, plant them in
filtered light. These plants
do sucker and are easy to propagate from divisions. This is a great
"filler plant" to put in areas where you want something but don't know
what to use. We only have them available from time to time.

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

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

RHAPIS MULTIFIDA
A RARE TYPE OF LADY PALM
ONE OF THE BEST PALMS FOR INSIDE
GREAT GARDEN PLANT AS WELL
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLD 25 GALLON PLANT
I haven't been able to offer this superior fan palm as they have not
been available for over five years. But, we do have one or two
very old plants that we were holding in stock and have decided to sell.
This is a very rare type of Lady Palm.
This species is from China and is often mistaken for Rhapis
humilus. But, it is a smaller species, getting to about 8 feet tall
whereas humilus gets about twice as tall.
It performs well inside the home or office and also is quite easy
to grow outside in filtered light.
The stems of multifida are much more attractive than the
common Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa. It also carries more
leaflets per leaf than the Lady Palm and is overall a more attractive
plant. The leaflets are narrow and come to a point like Rhapis
humilus. Side by side, the majority of our customers prefer the Rhapis
multifida to the Rhapis excelsa.
Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties or lower, F. Outdoors,
this species prefers filtered light. One must be careful not
to give Rhapis too much fertilizer or leaf burn may occur.
We have a near twenty year old 25 gallon that we’re putting on special.
It is too big for standard mail order. BTW, if you start
looking for a comparable plant, the chances are you won't find one.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 25 GALLON $600

TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 25 GALLON SINGLE 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
great here in So California. 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. Shown here is are examples of
absolutely good sized 25 gallon palms.
These have been outdoor grown and are about twelve years old.
Standing next to them, most are about ten feet tall or more with 8 to 12
inch bases (ground diameter). All
are singles - not multipoles. They are so nice that some
are considering using them as a larger house plant. We have
various sizes of the Kentias for sale from small to large. They
are great patio palms. Smaller plan ( 5 gallon ) can be mail
ordered. Bigger plants usually require delivery.

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

CARPENTERIA ACUMINATA

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

ENCEPHALARTOS LATIFRONS - TRAPPES VALLEY
UNBELIEVABLY RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
MEDIUM SIZED MATURE - GORGEOUS AND DIFFERENT
TEN DAY SPECIAL JUVENILE PLANTS
This extremely rare and hard
to obtain species is almost extinct in its habitat location in South
Africa. Fewer than a
hundred plants remain and specialists say populations are declining.
It has
green or blue green leaves. There are two distinct cultivars of
this plant, "Trappes Valley" and " green hills". Between the two
types, the Trappes Valley form is more sought after. The plants on
special are this “Trappes Valley” variety – from seed from domestic
parents of both sexes of this form.
This is
a green cycad with a distinctive look. It has large, curved
leaves. Leaflets are
typically stacked and have wide, prominent lobes (modified spines) on
their margins.
This is a medium
sized plant. Leaves can range in size from a meter to a meter and
a half depending on cultivar. Stems tend can reach
approximately three meters (ancient plant, this is a VERY slow growing
species). It tolerates full
sun along the coast and is cold tolerant down to about 22 degrees F.
Please protect it from cold if you get colder than this.
We just
obtained three juvenile plants from a private collector.
These are about 3 years old and in 5 gallon pots with 2-3 leaves.
Be aware that I just found one leaf new seedlings on line selling for

BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD FOR SUN
GOOD OFFERING OF 15 GALLON PLANTS
CAUDEXES 3.5 TO 6 INCHES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON E. LEHMANNII
This is a popular blue cycad from the Eastern Cape area of South Africa.
I say “popular” because some people don't like spines and prickles.
The leaflets of this species are narrow with only a point at the end.
They are nothing as gnarly as E. horridus. The leaves and
crown are very neat and uniform. The nearest species to this one
is Encephalartos princeps. Trunks of E. lehmannii 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 strongly curled.
Sometimes they'll almost do a 180 or more degree re-curve. Leaf
color is intensely blue like E. horridus. But, you'll only see
this color with full, hot sun. In shade or inside a greenhouse
they are often green. Cold hardiness is about 21 to 22 degrees F.
In the desert only give it a few hours sun. Next to Encephalartos
horridus, this is the second most popular cycad we grow. Shown below is
an assortment of 15 gallon plants of this species with caudexes of 3 to
5-6 inches. We have about a half dozen of them. All are sun
ready. I am showing some of these 15g below. The sale price

Neorogelia
are one of our favorite types of Bromeliads. This is because you
get color without the need for waiting to see a blossom.
Typically, the mother plant lasts for about a year and then dies off.
But, you then get several small pups forming from the base of the plant
and the cycle repeats itself. So, over time, you'll have a large
cluster of many plants. Most
Neorogelia like shade although some
will take some sun. This species has a pink flush on top of
variegated white leaves. We have many attractive

are late blooming compared to almost all other “Gingers”. They tend to
blossom in fall. In somewhat colder regions, they may need protection
from a freeze. They do sucker and canes are thin. Expect mature height

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.

All the time customers are seeking out
Bismarckia, especially for mail orders to other states. We

ordered. But, we don't have too many. For several decades
we've been growing this stunning blue fan palm from Madagascar.
These are the blue form. You’ll note that there’s some purple
color to the leaves and stems. This is because they were outdoor grown
and saw cold weather into the twenties F. But, this is the blue form as
only the blue ones seem to show purple with cold. As they grow,
all leaves remain blue. Mature specimens in their native habitat reach
heights of over forty feet. Trunk diameter can reach 18 inches or
a bit more. Leaf width can be up to eight feet.
This is a very attractive palm and should be given room in the garden to
show it off. It prefers full, hot sun. Many people in desert
locations have found they can grow it. Cold tolerance is about 22
degrees, although plants seeing colder have come back from injury.
Shown are our 25 gallon plants on special.

ARENGA ENGLERI
SUCKERING COLD HARDY PALM FROM JAPAN AND TAIWAN
NEVER GETS OVERLY LARGE – COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 15G SIZE
This suckering Asian palm rarely gets over ten feet tall and has medium
width leaflets that are jagged at their apical ends. The underside
of the leaflets are silver. But, from afar, it looks like a green
palm. It is thick with stems because it suckers heavily and cannot
be seen through. Therefore, it's a good species to block
visibility. But, growth rare is slow so it’ll take time to hide
something. Cold tolerance
is into the upper teens F, so it is quite cold hardy and can be grown in
areas where one sees severe cold but wants a more tropical palm.
Flowers are very fragrant but seeds contain a substance which
makes the skin itch. Be careful if you collect seeds.
The plant size on special is in a 15g pot and we only have a few.
Plants are over 7 feet tall in their pots.
These are 10 year old palms.

COCONUT QUEEN PALM
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
FIRST TIME AVAILABLE THIS SIZE IN TEN YEARS!
SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON 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 5 gallon 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 5 GALLON SIZE $150
This hybrid palm has never been cheap.

DYPSIS LEPTOCHEILOS
THE TEDDY BEAR PALM
EVERYONE LOVES THIS PALM
ONE OF THE BEST MADAGASCAR PALMS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
The Teddy Bear Palm has become super popular because it grows well in
Southern California, has a rusty colored, fuzzy crown shaft, has a
silver, ringed trunk and doesn't get too tall. For most
enthusiasts, it's among the "top ten" Madagascar palms. Mature
height is about 25 feet. Right on the coast it does well with full
sun. Cold hardiness is about 25 degrees F. Growth rate is
medium. One can grow it in part day sun as well. The average
enthusiast, once he sees a mature plant, just "has to have one".
Expect a mature height in California of about 25 feet or a bit more.
Trunk diameter is usually about eight inches. The crown shaft is
the most prominent trait - fuzzy, rusty red and quite touchable.
The latter trait is why it's called the "Teddy Bear Palm". 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.

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

"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

In the first garden picture below, the teracapra is the tallest

than the regular King Palms to the right.

LACCOSPADIX AUSTRALASICA
SINGLE TRUNK MOUNTAIN FORM
BEST GROWING SPECIES OF THE GENUS
RESEMBLES THE KENTIA PALM
TEN TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 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 single
trunk 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 (as shown below).
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 six inches thick and reaches a height of 20 feet or a bit more.
It sort of looks like a 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. As shown below, sometimes
we’ll plant more than one to a pot.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $135
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $110
We have extremely limited numbers but hopefully more will become
available over time. Mention this Special for your discount.

LYTOCARYUM HOENII
NEAR EXTINCT SEMI-DWARF PALM FROM BRAZIL
DWARF PALM – SOFT GREEN LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON
This semi-dwarf pinnate palm gets to a height of ten to twelve feet
domestically and is single trunk and has no crown shaft. It is
native to montane forests in Brazil and is near extinct in the wild.
It is rarely seen offered for sale. The more frequently seen
species of this genus is Lytocaryum weddellianum, also from
Brazil rainforests. The latter is a much smaller plant than L.
hoenii and rarely gets to ten feet. Hoenii has a more
robust appearance, a bit thicker trunk and wider leaflets. Here
I'm showing 2g plants of Lytocaryum hoenii that we’re putting on
special. We rarely, if
ever, can offer this species. Lytocaryum is a filtered light
genus with a cold tolerance in the mid-twenties F. I've found from
experience that Lytocaryum seem to thrive on neglect. Too
much water, fertilizer or attention seems to not be right for them.
Just plant one, don't pay attention to it other than average watering,
and they seem to do fine.

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

PRESENT SHORTAGE ON THE MARKET
TEN DAY SPECIAL JUVENILE 2 GALLON
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 a few
20g which we’re offering for sale and giving a bit of a discount. 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.
If you've been trying to find one of this species, you know they are
near impossible to find, especially with any size. I'm offering

ENDEMIC PALM NATIVE TO THE BIG ISLAND – HAWAII
PRITCHARDIAS ARE THE ONLY NATIVE PALMS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE
Pritchardias are a single trunk fan palm.
Of the several dozen species, most are endemic to one or more of
the Hawaii Islands and are not found elsewhere in the world. There
are several species from the South Pacific. This particular
species, Pritchardia maideniana, is native to the Big Island.
For many decades it was known as P. affinis, but Don Hodel found no
difference on researching these two species and both have been lumped
together as P. maideniana. It lives in mountainous
areas and there are known to be about fifty or so plants in the wild.
It is considered endangered.
It has wedge shaped leaf with shiny green topsides. Pink
tomentum is found on the leaf stem – these hairs continue somewhat onto
the underside of the leaf.
Leaves are erect. Trunk
diameter is about 10 inches and mature height is 20 to 40 feet or more.
This species tolerates coastal sun and is cold hardy into the
twenties F. We’re offering

TEN DAY SPECIAL FIVE GALLON PLANTS
The plants I'm showing here are a non-edible fruiting type of ornamental
Banana known as Musa zebrina in the Musa acuminata group.
The name “sumatrana” is sometimes used as a reference.
Like most Bananas, it does sucker.
This species is used for its ornamental value – either in the

it gets to 3 to 5 feet tall).
It has light green leaves with attractive purple splotches and
maroon underside. See photos below. It does produce purple
fruit but these are not edible because of fiber or seeds.
It'd want full sun outdoors (along the coast) and should be cold
tolerant well into the mid-twenties F. Some are also growing it as
an indoor plant. We're putting our five gallon plants on sale.

WATER FEATURES IN THE GARDEN
POND, STREAM, POOL, WATERFALL
ALL ENCHANTING AND RELAXING
There's something about having a water
feature in the garden that gardeners find very appealing. I'm not sure
if it's the movement, sound or just appearance. But, people will go to
great lengths to make it perfect. I've had customers create 100 foot
long streams, rock mountains with waterfalls into pools, coy ponds, or
simple circulating ponds. I even had one who put in a volcano waterfall
with a large palm being "the flames" of the volcano. Here I'm showing
some photos of more classical usages of water in the garden. I hope you
enjoy them - who knows, maybe you'll get a few ideas.

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.

THIN TRUNK, FLUFFY GREEN LEAVES

The Foxtail Palm, Wodyetia
bifuracata,

gets to about twenty-five feet height, has fluffy green plumose leaves,
is crown shafted as shown below and is single trunk. It has a thin
trunk, usually with a mature width of about six to eight inches.
It is a great species for more inland areas that see a fair amount of
heat. It does love heat and sun. Although some like to plant
this species in colonies of two or three plants, it looks great as a
stand-alone single palm. Because it wants sun, it should not be put in a
shady area. Cold hardiness is about 23 to 25 degrees F. I’m

BURRETIOKENTIA KOGHIENSIS
RARE NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
NARROW TRUNK & WHITE CROWN SHAFT
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE 15G PLANTS
Back in the year 2000, I was the President of the International
Palm Society. One of my goals at the time was to break the
monotony of Biennial meetings always being held in the United States.
I found them to be repetitious and sort of boring. Certainly, no
one at the time would have called them exciting meetings.
With this in mind, I set up the 1998 Biennial in Thailand at Nong Nook
Gardens. That was a first. And, to outdo that meeting, I
arranged with the Palm Society of New Caledonia to have to 2000 Biennial
in their country. The palms of New Caledonia are some of the most
exciting and pretties palms of the world.
This gave Jesse and I a great opportunity to see
the New Caledonian palms in the wild. About 45 minutes out of
Noumea (the capitol) is Mount Koghi. This is the home habitat for
this species. It has a thin to medium trunk, a white crown shaft
and gets to about 25 feet tall. It's very beautiful and does great
in Southern California. Most grow it in part day sun. Cold
tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. (sort of like a King Palm with
tolerance of cold). Shown here are plants that we germinated about
8 years ago. They are finally really nice, old 15g plants.
You'll not see locally grown plants of this species and size around at
all. And, never on sale.

RHOPALOSTYLIS CHEESEMANII
BEAUTIFUL GREEN CROWN SHAFTED PALM
TOLERATES A FAIR AMOUNT OF COASTAL SUN
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
Rhopalostylis cheesemanii is
from Roul Island in the Kermadecs.
It reportedly has darker brown tomentum on the crown shaft and
petioles compared to R.
baueri and
the fruits are larger in size. But, the most remarkable thing is
that some enthusiasts have noticed is that it is a more aggressive
grower in Southern California. It is a green leafed, single trunk
pinnate palm with a crown shaft.
Opposed to R.
baueri,
it has been known to do quite well in full sun right along the coast.
One of our staff, Rusty, swears by this species and thinks it's far
superior to other Rhopalostylis.
In his yard it has grown at a phenomenal rate. The pictures here
show the darker petioles compared to R. sapida.
I have limited photos of larger garden plants. Be aware
that many people feel this should be considered a sub-variety of Rhopalostylis
baueri.
Growth rate of this species is medium at best.
It is a stunning palm when mature.
The 5 gallon size can be shipped.

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.

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

RHOPALOSTYLIS SAPIDA
THE NIKAU PALM
NEW ZEALAND PALM - BULGING CROWN SHAFT
A FAVORITE OF ALL
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE BAND SIZE
Native stands of Rhopalostylis
sapida are
found in temperate parts of New Zealand and also on coastal areas of
Chatham and South Islands. In these localities it is found in
shaded forests and in the more moist bottoms of mountainous gullies.
One does not see it at high elevation where severe cold may be seen.
Rather it's in the coastal and warmer regions. Being a slow
growing species, it is reported that it takes ten to fifteen years in
habitat before one begins to see a formed trunk. One report done
by the New Zealand government reported that it took forty years to show
trunk and that ten meter trees were 200 years old. The point here
is that, as a species, the Nikau Palm is slow growing in its natural
habitat. Soil in the area is good draining and rainfall is ample
This is a single trunk palm that has green, upright leaves. The
hallmarks of this plant are the upright pointing leaves and the swollen
crown shaft. Almost always, the crown shaft is prominently larger
in diameter than the trunk. The trunk has rings from old leaf
attachments. Overall height after many decades is 25 to 35 feet
or, on old specimens, even more. Trunk diameter is eight to twelve
inches. Leaves are usually eight to twelve feet long. Growth
rate is slow. Of note, we’re putting 3 to 4 leaf seedlings on sale
in bands on a Ten Day Special.

CYCAS
TAITUNGENSIS
THE EMPEROR CYCAD
A VERY COLD HARDY CYCAD WITH ORANGE FUZZ AT TOP
OF CAUDEX
TEN DAY SPECIAL VERY
LARGE SIZED 20 GALLON SPECIMEN
Cycas taitungensis is
a species of cycad from China and Taiwan. It used to be known as Cycas
taiwaniana.
In fact, some reference books around still refer to it by this name.
It is a medium to large cycad with trunk diameter of twelve to eighteen
inches and height of ten feet. It is known as the Emperor
Cycad. It is similar to a Sago Palm but with some noted differences.
The leaves are longer and wider than the C. revoluta. They also
tend to be flatter. The color is deep green. Also, growth
rate is much faster and cold hardiness is better than the Sago. It is
not unusual for this species to throw two or three sets of leaves a
year. In the crown area, the tomentum is a very prominent orange
color, a good clue as to the species. I think it's a bit more
tropical and lush appearing than the Sago Palm. There are reports
of this species easily tolerating mid-teen F. temperatures. Also,
it likes full sun except in desert areas.
We’re putting a nice 20 gallon plant on sale that should cone
soon. The caudex is 8
inches wide and 14 inches tall.
For someone in a cold area, this is perhaps one of the first
cycads you should consider.

ENCEPHALARTOS MSINGANUS
NEARLY EXTINCT IN THE WILD
GREEN SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLDER 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.

PHILODENDRON SELLOUM

GIANT SPLIT
LEAF PHILODENDRON
TEN DAY
SPECIAL 5 & 15 GALLON SIZE
Throughout my career, I've always known this
plant as Philodendron selloum. The same is true for most
nurserymen. But, when researching it, I've found lots of other
names and even genera used to taxonomically identify this species.
So, keeping it simple, I'll not go there but rather say that this is a
large leaf Philodendron that can climb up a tree trunk or stand
alone all by itself. It is native to South America. It can
grow in coastal sun or in the shade. It's got a trunk that is
usually six inches thick or less and puts out thick hanging roots that
assist in grabbing anything to support the crown. Leaves are
green, heavily divided and can be four feet long and three feet wide.
Leaves are not as large as the much more rare Philodendron evansii. Selloum is
easy to grow. We're offering nicely sized 5 & 15 gallon on sale.
The 15g size is shown in the last photo. The rest of the nursery
plants are 5g.

This sought after
smaller bush is native to Asia in various tropical islands.
Contrary to the name, it does not survive if you live in an area where
it snows. Rather, it looks like a green bush with snow on it.
Leaves are green with white accents. With age you also get a flush
of pink. Leaves are very small. Mature height it 3 to 4 feet.
This species wants full or part day sun. Cold tolerance is a bit
below a freeze. This is a very attractive companion plant where
one wants an addition of white foliage – perhaps to contrast other
colors. I am putting our 1g and 5g on Special. Both are

ALOCASIA SPECIES
ELEPHANT EAR PLANTS
SEVEN TYPES SHOWN HERE
LUSH & EXOTIC
QUICK TROPICAL LOOK AT SOME 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 various hybrid varieties, each with their own charm. Note, some
tolerate full sun while others want shade or filtered light.
1. Row 1: 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 2: 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 3: 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 4: 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.
5. Row 5, Alocasia sumo, a species that can get to six or
eight feet all and has good sized triangular (heart shaped) leaves with
purple-green leaf fronts and pruple backs with prominent veins.
6. Row 5, Alocasia metalhead, a shorter species that gets four
to five feet tall and has a metallic sheen to the dorsal leaves with
prominent purple hues and yellow ventral veins.
7. Row 7, Alocasia regal shield, a medium sized species to
about four feet tall, purple-green dorsal leaves with a prominent purple
color on their backsides. Does not tolerate full sun.
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.

COCONUT QUEEN PALM
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
MEDIUM HEIGHT – SYAGRUS HYBRID
TEN DAY SPECIAL SUN READY BOX 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. And, that they are not overly tall.
Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the Queen
Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm. This
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. For those who want the fluffy appearance of the Queen Palm
without the large size, this palm is perfect for you.
Be aware, these are extremely difficult to find and are presently
in super short supply.
We’re putting huge 24 inch boxes on sale. They are about 10 - 12 feet
tall in their box. This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower.
We have what may be the last three plants in this area.

CHAMAEDOREA HOOPERIANA
BAMBOO PALM THAT IS TALL AND FULL
STRONG & LARGE 10 & 15 GALLON PLANTS
ALMOST SOLD OUT OF THESE
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE PLANTS
It's not that uncommon that I'll talk about various types of Bamboo
Palms. Three decades ago this species (Chamaedorea
hooperiana) would have probably
been called a variety of Chamaedorea
costaricana. But, in his book
on Chamaedorea,
Don Hodel described this species named after friend and palm enthusiast
Louis Hooper. So, it now enjoys its own status as a species.
And, it deserved species status because it is quite different than Chamaedorea
costaricana. This species
is native to high elevation rain forest in the Veracruz area of Mexico.
It grows at up to 5000 feet elevation in habitat.
It reaches an overall height of twelve to fourteen feet. It is
also quite wide at maturity with many canes. These canes will
sometimes lean outwards, making the clump wider. Trunks are about
one inch thick. Compared to Chamaedorea
costaricana, this
species is more full and wide. It's hard to "see through" this
species whereas you'd have a better chance of seeing through
a costaricana. Both are suckering types of Bamboo Palms.
Also, the leaves of costaricana are
shorter. Hooperiana leaves
are four feet long or more.
Shown here is one of our ten or fifteen gallon plants.
This species likes good draining soil, adequate water, filtered
light and is cold hardy to the low 20's F. It is an ideal patio
plant and can be grown inside the home.
REGULAR PRICE HUGE 10 or 15 GALLON $325

It can in habitat get to sixty feet tall, but in Southern California is
usually not over 40 feet tall. It is crown shafted with a gray
trunk. The crown shaft is green with some brown speckled areas.
Leaf length is 8 to 10 feet. It is not particularly rare.
Other species of King Palms are. (we grow them all). Ramenta
is present on the back of the leaflets, a hallmark of this species.
Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F. The singles we're putting on
sale are in the 15g size. Be aware, you can plant a single, double
or triple. All do great although the greater the number of plants

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.

RHAPIS MULTIFIDA
A RARE TYPE OF LADY PALM
ONE OF THE BEST PALMS FOR INSIDE
GREAT GARDEN PLANT AS WELL
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON PLANTS
This is a very rare species of suckering palm and is near impossible to
find This species is from China and is often mistaken for Rhapis
humilus. But, it is a smaller species, getting to about 8 feet tall
whereas humilus gets about twice as tall. It performs well
inside the home or office and also is quite easy to grow outside in
filtered light. The stems of multifida are much more attractive
than the common Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa. It also carries
more leaflets per leaf than the Lady Palm and is overall a more
attractive plant. The leaflets are narrow and come to a point
like Rhapis humilus. Side by side, the majority of our
customers prefer the Rhapis multifida to the Rhapis excelsa.
Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties or lower, F.
Outdoors, this species prefers filtered light. One must be
careful not to give Rhapis too much fertilizer or leaf burn may
occur. The 15g plants are nicely sized and put into their
containers in late spring so one doesn’t have to repot them after
purchase.

This single trunk tropical fan palm is noted mostly for its spiny trunk.
The spines are long, randomly directed and almost needle sized. It
is native to South America and gets to a height of about twenty feet.
It likes full sun and is cold hardy into the mid-teens F. Unlike
Trithrinax campestris,
the leaflet tips on this species are not sharp nor pointed. It is
a medium rate grower. These plants are easy to ship.
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $135
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $100
Remember: Mention this Special when you purchase. The 5
gallon on sale are shown in the first four pictures below.

BUTIA PARAGUAYENSIS
BLUE-GREEN BUTIA FROM SOUTH AMERICA
ARCHING LEAVES – MEDIUM HEIGHT
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON SIZE
This species is interesting because, in the wild, it is known as a dwarf
species that forms minimal trunk. But, when it is grown
domestically, it forms a trunk about the size of Butia capitata.
It, as you'd guess, comes from Paraguay, with habitat extending into
Brazil and northern Argentina. The color is a blue-green, not as
silver as Butia capitata. The leaves are strongly arched as
shown. It is a full sun plant with cold hardiness into the teens
F. We haven’t had them available for a few years. We are now offering
5 gallon plants on sale that are about 4 years old.
Culture includes full sun and good draining soil. Cold
hardiness is into the teens F. I am also showing a photo of a 15g
plant from the nursery that is no longer available. The
habitat photo is by TS at RPS
REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $125

CYPHOPHOENIX ELEGANS
THE ELEGANT PALM
MEDIUM SIZE – THIN TRUNK – CROWN SHAFTED
TEN DAY SPECIAL 2 GALLON SIZE
This species is from New Caledonia in the northern part of the island.
It is of similar height to C. nucele and has the same trunk
diameter. The crown shaft on C. elegans is slightly more
swollen than that of C. nucele. The crown shaft is also
more of a green color, but can show silver. The leaflets are
thinner and, as you can see, the leaves curve downward as opposed to the
stiff, upright leaves of nucele. Another important
difference between the two is that the leaves of C. elegans are
keeled whereas the leaves of nucele are more flat. Of note,
on both species the bare petiole (stem with no leaves) is very short.
This helps you identify this genus.
Shown here are our 2 gallon sized plants that I photographed recently.
Also shown are lots of photos of mature plants. This species
should be started in filtered light and be allowed to grow into some sun
if you live along the coast. Inland full sun is too harsh for this
species. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F.
REGULAR PRICE 2 GALLON $80
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $70
Remember to mention this Special to get this price. Limited numbers
available. The 2g size is shown in the first five photos.

VEITCHIA WININ
NATIVE ONLY TO VANUATU
SINGLE TRUNK, CROWN SHAFTED
TALL PALM WHEN MATURE
SUPER RARE, HARD TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE1 GALLON SIZE
This
single trunk pinnate palm is native to the Vanuatu Islands. It can
attain a mature height of over fifty feet. Leaves are green, about
eight feet long with somewhat drooping leaflets. The trunk is gray
in color and medium thickness. This species makes bright red
seeds. It can tolerate full coastal sun and has been grown well by
some in Southern California. But, because of it's tropical
nature, should only be tried by those in good climates. We're
offering large 1 gallons on sale. They've done well with our
temperatures down to about 32 degrees F.
REGULAR PRICE LARGE 1G $70
TEN DAY SPECIAL OVERSIZED 1G $60

ARCHONTOPHOENIX "TERACARPA"
THE BEST KING PALM EVER!
BIGGER, FASTER GROWING, NO BROWNING OF LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL HUGE BAND SIZE PLANTS
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
The band size plants are about 3-4 years old and huge – about 2 feet
tall and need to be planted or repotted into 5g pots.
REGULAR PRICE THESE HUGE BANDS $60
TEN DAY SPECIAL THESE HUGE BANDS $50

LEPIDOZAMIA PEROFFSKYANA
USER FRIENDLY CYCAD
LARGE GREEN CYCAD FOR FILTERED LIGHT OR COASTAL SUN
NO SPINES WHATSOEVER!
TEN DAY SPECIAL FORTY YEAR OLD SPECIMEN
I enjoy talking about cycad, Lepidozamia peoffskyana, 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 good selection of this species from
seedlings to quite a few very old specimens as shown below.
The main characteristics of this species include:
*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. The plant on special is in a 35 gallon
container and is well established.
It had been present in a performing arts center for several
decades before we received it six or eight years ago.
The caudex is 17 inches wide and 27 inches tall.
I’m offering it on special and don’t recall the sex of this
plant. Of note, we also have
other sizes including bands up to boxed specimens.
This particular cycad is too big for mail order but can be
delivered.
REGULAR PRICE THIS ACTUAL 35 GALLON SPECIMEN $4500
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS ACTUAL 35 GALLON CYCAD $3750
BTW, this specimen competes in size with old
plants you'd see in many botanical gardens.

ENCEPHALARTOS TRISPINOSUS
BLUE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD
SOUGHT AFTER - SPINY LEAFLETS
LOVES SUN AND PRETTY COLD HARDY
TEN DAY SPECIAL NICE BAND PLANTS
Shown below is our band size plants of the
desirable blue South African cycad, Encephalartos trispinosus.
Most people find it's very similar to E. horridus. It is a
small to medium sized mature blue cycad with leaflets that have
prominent lobes. But, be aware that this species is quite variable
and has many forms. There is even a spineless leaflet form.
It likes full sun and is cold hardy to about 22 degrees F. These
band sized plants are easy to ship. The fifth photo shows a larger
nursery plant and the last photo is a garden specimen. Of note,
these seedlings are pretty nice and probably ready to be repotted into a
larger container.
REGULAR PRICE BAND SIZE $70
TEN DAY SPECIAL BAND SIZE $60

DIOON MEROLAE
SLOW GROWING SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED CYCAD
GRAY-GREEN LEAFLETS
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLDER BAND SIZED PLANTS
This is a slow growing New World cycad species that comes from Mexico.
It is very attractive. One of the things that is particularly nice
about this species is that the crown size is compact and not that large.
For this reason, it fits into a small sunny location in the garden where
no other plant would work. Its leaves are a silver-green in color
(can be just green) and it holds many leaves. An extremely old
plant might have a foot or two of trunk. In the wild there are
specimens that are possibly a thousand years old with many meters of
trunk, often leaning over toward the ground. But, from a practical
point of view, it is a small plant. If you grow this species,
you'll probably find that it will take fifty years or more to get three
feet of trunk.
Cold hardiness is into the low 20's F. and it
prefers full sun except for harsh desert climates. We offer many
sizes of this species from seedlings up to trunked plants that are many
decades old. For mail orders, the band size is easy to ship.
These are not newly germinated seedlings but rather plants with
an inch or more of caudex.
Most germinated five years ago.
If you want larger, we do have citrus pot, 15g and boxed sized
plants. I hope that you like this cycad; it's one of my favorites. For
upscale landscaping, nothing beats it.
TEN DAY SPECIAL OLDER BAND SIZED PLANS $85
BTW, if these don't sell out, all will be repotted into 5g pots
shortly.

VARIEGATED SHELL GINGER
ALPINIA ZERUMBET
DISTINCTIVE VARIEGATED YELLOW & GREEN LEAVES
EASY TO GROW TROPICAL WITH COLORFUL FLOWERS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 20 GALLON PLANTS
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 20 gallons on sale have many canes and are ready to be planted in
the ground. They will
blossom in no time.
REGULAR PRICE 20 GALLON $350
TEN DAY SPECIAL 20 GALLON $310

FICUS UMBELLATA
INTERIOR PLANT WITH LARGE ROUND LEAVES
DWARF MATURE SIZE - STRIKING APPEARANCE
NEWLY AVAILABLE TREE FOR ENTHUSIASTS
FIRST OFFERING OF THIS SPECIES
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON SIZE
Until about 3 months ago, I had never heard of
this species. There's essentially no scientific articles on it on the
Internet. I've read that it is native to South Africa. It's mentioned
as a smaller replacement for the popular Fiddle Leaf Fig. It differs
from the latter in that it's leaves are very soft and pliable. It is
also much smaller tree mature. The Fiddle Leaf Fig in my yard is over
30 feet tall and 20 feet wide with a thick trunk. This new species is
supposed to be a real dwarf, not getting over 4 to 6 feet tall. Leaves
are a foot wide, prominently veined and round. Inside, it's said to
want very bright light - next to a bright window. Cold hardiness is
unknown. We'll know more by next spring after we winter them over at
our nursery. I have no data growing it outdoors. We're offering some
nicely sized 15 gallon that are near mature height. They've been
repotted fairly recently into 15g pots so a customer wouldn't have to
repot them soon. BTW, this is the first time we've offered this tree
for sale.
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15 GALLON $200
Sorry, but no photos of mature trees are available.

CANNA TROPICANA
EXOTIC FOLIAGE – ORANGE BLOSSOMS
SUMMER BLOOMERS
TEN DAY SPECIAL 5G SIZE
Canna Lilies
are a tropical or semi-tropical perennial plant. They are not a
true Lily but called a Lily. They are probably most closely
related to Gingers. I've found the foliage is a bit less appealing
in winter. Then, in summer when it's warm, they do their thing
with rapid growth of pretty foliage as shown here and a prolonged
display of colorful blossoms. They can take our coastal sun or
part sun. I have available now some blossoming
Canna tropicana.
They have multi-colored darker
leaves and prominent orange flowers.
They get to about five to six feet
tall.
REGULAR PRICE 5G $65

PRITCHARDIA MINOR IN SAN
DIEGO
MATURE AND FRUITING FOR YEARS
THIN TRUNK, MEDIUM HEIGHT
ENABLES US TO OFFER YOU NURSERY PLANTS
I wanted to show you photographs of a mature Pritchardia
minor that's thriving in central San Diego, CA. For
many years our nursery has been selling young plants that come from the
seeds of this mother tree. It is a magnificent specimen. I'd estimate
its height to be fifteen feet with a trunk diameter of eight inches.
Native to the Island of Kaui in HI, this tree is quite rare and grows at
high elevation in locality. It tolerates full sun here if you are not
too far inland. I've seen this species in habitat and the one shown in
the first three rows of photos (San Diego) is taller than ones I've seen
in the wild. I figure its culture that made it this large. The last
row shows some photos of plants we have for sale and a specimen of this
species in HI. Although availability changes over time, we hope that we
can continue to offer this unique species in the future.
