REGULAR PRICE 24 INCH BOX $750
COCONUT
QUEEN PALM
DESIRABLE SYAGRUS HYBRID
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN MATURE
SYAGRUS ROMANZOFFIANA X SCHIZOPHYLLA
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE BOXED 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 to large palm. The trunk
will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size will be less.
The attached photos of 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.
This is a very rare hybrid to come across.
We’re putting huge 24 inch boxes on sale.
They are about 12 feet tall in their box.
This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a
cold hardiness estimated to be in the low 20's F.
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE $675
This is probably one of the last times we’ll offer this rare hybrid in
this large size for sale. We only have a few left.

LEPIDOZAMIA HOPEI
LEPIDOZAMIA SPECIES WITH WIDER LEAFLETS
FAIRLY RARE AND HARD TO FIND
TEN DAY SPECIAL CITRUS POT SIZE
This species of cycad gets
enormous! I mean really tall. There are specimens with
heights to almost 60 feet. Leaves are six to ten feet long.
Leaflets are soft and without spines or armor.
For this reason, it is felt to be a very user friendly cycad. But,
you must give it adequate room to grow.
Compared to the Lepidozamia peroffskyana,
the hopei leaflets are wider. It's quite noticeable
when you compare the two side by side. This is the best way to tell them
apart when they are young.
Culturally, it is quite similar to L. peroffskyana, preferring
some sun but not full sun in most areas. Far inland it may do
better with filtered light. In terms of rarity, you don't see this
species for sale that often. Cold hardiness is into the mid to
lower 20's F. We're putting citrus pot size on sale with caudexes
of 4 to 5 inches. These can be mail ordered.
DIOON EDULE
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. The plant on special here is in a 15
gallon container, grown from seed and has a 5 inch caudex.
It can be mail ordered in a big box. |

CHAMAEDOREA GLAUCIFOLIA
From time to time I discuss this interesting single trunk
Chamaedorea. It is very similar to Chamaedorea plumosa -
except: The plumosa has a more plumose leaf and takes a
little more sun. But, the glaucifolia has the silver powder
on the leaf stems and crown shaft as shown here. This is quite
attractive and typically very prominent. Otherwise, you would
mistake the two. They are fast growing and get to a mature height
of about 14 feet. They look their best when planted in colonies of
three to five plants. It
takes almost full sun on the coast and is a durable species and seem
exempt from fungal problems that can plague C. plumosa.
Cold hardiness is about 25 degrees F. |

DINING IN THE GARDEN WHAT'S NICER THAN EATING OUTSIDE MEMORIES OF MARDI DARIANNow deceased and long time friend of mine, Mardi Darian of Vista, California would entertain friends and visitors at an outdoor dining area behind his house. This garden dining location was enchanting and beautiful. Nestled right among towering palms and tropical plants, one could take in the panoramic view of the garden while enjoying a fine meal. All of us should be so lucky. Mardi really had a great eye for garden design. He passed away in August, 2015 and has been missed by many plant enthusiasts. |

PEAT MOSS VERSUS SPHAGNUM MOSSWHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES? ARE THEY THE SAME IN THEIR USAGE? Over the years, I've found that many people don't know the difference between peat moss and typical sphagnum moss. I'll try to explain it here and tell how their usages are different. Peat moss is a fibrous material that is not living and typically comes from Canada. There is harvested from "peat moss bogs", packaged and shipped worldwide for gardeners to use. These moss plants grow year after year on their often shaded locations. This years growth is on top of last years - and this goes on for centuries with the lower layers dying. So, at the bottom, there is this dead fibrous material. These lower levels are harvested and ground up for bagging. At Jungle Music, peat moss is a component in all of our nursery mixes. The first photo shows a handful of peat moss. Note that it is fine in texture. It comes in a compacted bale but, once broken apart, has this appearance. In a potting soil, it adds organic filler, it opens up the soil and promotes drainage. It does add acidity as well and, when used, one must often add dolomite to control acidity. Once added to a soil one really can't see it. For seed germination, it is often mixed together with perlite. If you use a mix with a lot of peat moss, never let it go totally dry or it will "brick up" and repel water. Spagnum moss is the living material that is on top of the peat moss bogs. There it grows year after year. Localities where it can be found are worldwide including Canada, Peru and the northern U.K. These plants are harvested alive but die off from desiccation after they are harvested and packaged. The second photo shows this type of moss. Note the long, fluffy and coarse appearance. At our nursery we use this sphagnum moss mostly in two ways. First, we use it on the outside of wire baskets to hold in the soil. (third photo below) The second is to germinate or root certain types of plant material (seeds, cuttings, etc.). Slightly damp, it's the component used for the baggie technique of germination. I've known of people who use it in a potting mix but it is difficult to mix it evenly with other components. Other growers may use it as a top dressing on potted plants. A final interesting thing is that sphagnum moss is a neutral pH at the time of purchase. Peat moss is very acidic as mentioned above. The second photo below shows sphagnum moss out of the bag. |

ENCEPHALARTOS WHITELOCKII
LARGER CENTRAL AFRICAN CYCAD
LONG UPRIGHT LEAVES
TEN DAY SPECIAL LARGE 5 GALLON PLANTS
This unique and larger cycad is native to
Uganda. In fact, at one point it was called the "Uganda Giant
Cycad". This is because it has leaves that extend almost straight
up toward the sky and can be twelve feet long or more. Leaflets
are narrow and armed with small spines. The caudex is a light
color and in the wild can be up to ten feet tall. Historically, as
this species is similar to E.
laurentianus,
it was called also "Encephalartos
laurentianus Lake George",
referring to its specific habitat. The nursery plants I'm
putting on special are in 5 gallon containers and have caudexes
of 4 to 5 inches.
They are about 8 years old and very nice. This is the perfect size for
putting in the garden.
They’ll be overhead in a few years.
We have other sizes as well, both larger and smaller. The
last photo shows one of our boxed specimens. Note the appearance
of these plants with their long leaves with narrow leaflets.
Enthusiasts love this species because it's a good growing cycad.
Right on the coast I'd give it half day sun. It's not quite a
sun-tolerant as many of the South African species. Cold tolerance
is into the low 20's F.

LUSH GREEN AUSTRALIAN CYCAD
THIN TRUNK, UP TO 20 FEET
NICE LANDSCAPE PLANTS AVAILABLE
This attractive cycad is native to Queensland,
Australia. It has green leaves five to six feet long and in a
lifetime can get a trunk up to 20 feet. Trunk diameter is
typically about 8 to 10 inches. Leaf stems are minimal armed and
leaf color is green on both sides. It will take coastal sun but
would be better with part day sun or filtered light far inland.
Shown here are several 15g and one 20g plants. We may have smaller
available. Any of these plants can be shipped by mail order.
This is a pretty rare species that you can find easily.

ARCHONTOPHOENIX PURPUREA
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 and has three individual plants together. We
also have singles available as well as smaller 5g and 1g sizes.

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

MEDIUM SIZE -THINNER TRUNK THAN CANARY
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 below are
absolutely huge plants in a band container.
We’re putting them on special.
This is a good buy. |

ZAMIA FISCHERI
AKA ZAMIA VASQUEZII
This is small Mexican cycad with stems typically
under one foot tall in size and leaves green in color
and up to three feet long, sometimes shorter. It
usually holds about five or so leaves, sometimes more.
It is a variable species and leaflets can be lanceolate
or wedge shaped. Leaflets are quite thin in
texture and have soft spines on the margins.
Overall, this species has a "fern-like" appearance and
would not be considered spiny. The names "vasquezii"
replaced the more commonly known name of "fischeri"
in the past fifteen years or so.

SYAGRUS OLERACEA THE "SKINNY QUEEN PALM" PLUMOSE GREEN LEAVES MOST PREFER IT TO THE COMMON QUEEN PALM NICE 5G PLANTS AVAILABLE This single trunk species is from Brazil and is fairly tall, easily over 30 feet. Habitat specimens are up to 60 feet, similar to the common Queen Palm. But, this species has a super narrow trunk as shown here. It is light colored and has rings. Leaves are plumose and arch. It is a sun species with cold hardiness into the mid-twenties F. There are quite a few nice specimens in the Southern CA area. Shown here are large 5g plants. We have only limited supplies available. You can see from its appearance why so many people prefer it to the common Queen Palm. |

ALOCASIA "BLACK
STEM" UNDERSTORY EXOTIC COMPANION PLANT SUPER COOL BLACK STEMS LIMITED NUMBERS From a private grower we have gotten in this really impressive Alocasia that struck my fancy. It has super dark, essentially black stems. And, the black continues up into the leaf on the underside veins. We tried one outdoors about two months ago - sort of an experiment to see how it would do with winter. And, it had no damage with our low this year at 34 degrees F. So, I got the last two or three to offer to customers. These are in 5g pots and stand about four feet tall. I anticipate it'll be an understory plant with filtered light. I suspect a freeze would damage them. Although just a guess, I'd say mature height will be about six feet. No one knows presently the species name of this plant. As mentioned, available only for a short time in very limited number. |

TRITHRINAX SCHIZOPHYLLA
THE CARANDILLA PALM
BLUE-GREEN SUCKERING FAN PALM
TEN DAY SPECIAL 15G SIZE
This rare and hard to find species of South American fan palm was
previously known as Trithrinax biflabellata. But, the
latter was later found to be spineless and the two were given separate
species status. It is native to Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia.
T. schizophylla is definitely a spiny palm with long
needle-like spines on the trunk. It is not quite as blue as campestris and
is usually a suckering palm but sometimes is single trunk. Mature
height is six to fifteen feet. Although the leaf is a rigid leaf,
the leaflet tips are softer than the pungent T. campestris.
Leaf color is blue-green, not nearly as blue as campestris.
It is a very cold hardy species that tolerates temperatures down to at
least 18 degrees F. On sale are very old, outdoor grown 15g
plants. I think we've been growing these for about 12 to 14 years.
It likes full sun and loves heat. It is possible to mail order
this larger 15g size but it'd take a large box.
REGULAR PRICE OLD 15G PLANTS $250
TEN DAY SPECIAL THIS SIZE 15G $210
As usual, mention our Blog when ordering to get this price. The
habitat photo is by Juan Pech. BTW, we are sold out completely of
T. campestris.

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

CYPHOPHOENIX ALBA – PREVIOUSLY VEILLONIA
ALBA
MEDIUM HEIGHT – WHITE CROWN SHAFT This single trunk, white crown-shafted palm comes from the island of New Caledonia. There is grows in locations from sea level to 2000 feet. It is a medium sized plant best known for its white crown shaft. Known for decades as a monotypic species "Veillonia alba", in the past decade taxonomists decided renamed it Cyphophoenix alba. Trunk diameter is thin, about six inches. Height is about forty feet, sometimes taller. This species is known to grow in better areas of Southern California. The crown shaft is covered with either white or red-brown tomentum and is striking. Prominent rings are seen on the trunk. The leaves are green and overall, the crown is a medium size. I would recommend growing this is filtered light and let it work its way into a bit more sun. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. As this species is super rare and hard to find, if you get one you have to be careful with it. It would be difficult to replace is you lose it through poor culture. We have put 5 gallon on sale. The garden photos are by Wikipedia and TS at RPS. REGULAR PRICE 5 GALLON $145 TEN DAY SPECIAL 5 GALLON $120 |

DIOON
EDULE
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. The
plants size I’m putting on special are nice 15 gallon size.
The one shown below has a caudex of
9 inches and is about 12 to 15
years old. This size can be
shipped to anywhere within the U.S. Note, cycads are sold by the
caudex size. If this one
sells, for ten days we’d get a comparable but different plant at a
similar discount.
Availability of this size/species is limited. |

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.
