Kansas, I got your PM and tried to reply, but I don't think it worked, it said there was an error. Yes I will have the plants you want at the price we discussed. Winter is over here, all the plants are leafedback out and resuming active growth . We will be gone for this week and not back in town til...

If I could have any 3 palms in the word growing out in the yard, my picks would be: Cyrtostachys renda (Red Sealing Wax Palm) Licuala grandis Pinanga sp Sawawak "Blue Seed". None are, of course, remotely cold hardy and would never make it outdoors here in zone 8B. But since this is an &quo...

Pazuzu

I have used this same idea but on a much smaller scale, often protecting just one single plant. I know that this forum and I are not really comparable, this is for folks in really cold climates and I am in FL zone 8B, where it rarely gets down to 20F, but believe me, one night in the low 20's is jus...

Pazuzu

I can't help you, there is no comparison in our climates. We arrely get below 20 here and I have a 1730 sq ft greenhouse that uses a 200,000 BTU Modine propane heater. I maintain a "tropical" zone 11 house, that is, above 40 yearround. Actually in winter I am a zone 12-13 as I maintain 55-...

Hi, I have a 1700+ sq ft greenhouse and am also a state certified nursery in Florida where fireants are King. I have a Fireant Certification from the state and it requires me to treat my plants and my greenhouse space every 3 months. I have to use stuff from a list that the stste of FL USDA gives me...

I looked at their website and they have definitely changed it. Their website used to be really "beefcake". There were a lot of hunky guys some tatted up some not posing with a lot of plants almost in a calendar like dealie. Now, I see, its changed. There are still some photos of guys, but ...

I have a friend who regularly drives from FL to AL on business (she owns a health club in AL and has to go check up on it almost monthly) and she drives right by that nursery in GA. She wanted to get some plants and since she knew I owned a small nursery myself, she asked me if I knew anything about...

Pazuzu

There have been many many complaints about this particular nursery, not only as a nursery but also their eBay dealings. They have a very poor reputation.

Pazuzu

Nope you aren't the only borderline one. I'd post a photo of my back, but I have to be topless to do it, and my hubby isn't too cool with that LOL

This is another mottled leaf Pinanga.

Pazuzu

This is a species of Pinanga from Sarawak. It is very rare. It has a beautiful mottled leaf and at maturity, its seeds are a bright blue color. I hope I get to eventually see that!

Pazuzu

This is the Darian Palm. Its a highly endangered palm from Madagascar. It is basically solitary and trunkless, the leaves will get up to 20 ft in the wild.

Pazuzu

This is Gronophyllum pinangoides. I have little data about it. It sure is cute though!

Pazuzu

I know I am probably going to have to post all these separately because I seem to recall I couldn;t figure out how to post them all at once. These are some of the almost 40 new rainforest understory palms I got from Hawaii. This is Asterogyne martiniana. It only gets about 3 ft tall and is solitary....

I have seen Miami Ink a few times, but am not a regular watcher. The only show I watch regularly on TV is the original CSI on Spike. I got my first tattoo in 1979 and have been tattooed on and off since then, but this large piece has been approached from the lazy way for certain. I have to have time...

Pazuzu

Well don't buy that one and when mine are all leafed back out and most danger of frost here is past (about March 15th or so) we'll see what we can do for you. I have stands of Basjoo in my yard. I hate to see anyone get ripped off. I could buy you a $12 one here and send it to you for cost and shipp...

Pazuzu

That's some nice flash, Jay! Your friend is lucky to have someone like you who can do an original for them. I have a full shirtback, shoulders to buttocks, almost 100% coverage. The tattoooing has taken over 3 years, and contains a mermaid (the Hajime Soyrama sharkfin tailed mermaid done in portrait...

Pazuzu

Okay, I know the object of this forum is that its for folks who live in cold places to talk about palms that are basically cold hardy. But I don't have many of those. I did however recently score some gems from Hawaii for my greenhouse. Many of these are rare, most all are small growing rainforest u...

Pazuzu

"I'm sorry" and "You're right sweetie"???? Nope you have it all wrong. What we women REALLY want to hear is, "Okay honey you can get that full sleeve tattoo done now" and "Oh YES I really DO like your headbanger music even though my BAND wants to play jazz". T...

Pazuzu

I wish I could help you guys with advice but mine is planted out in the yard. It survives lows of 20F uncovered.

Pazuzu

A 3 ft basjoo banana for $50? You are getting TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS. You should pay NO MORE than $12-15 for a Basjoo that size. I urge you not to do it. WHere do you live? In a few weeks I can probably send you a pup as a trade or something.

Pazuzu

I don't do "C" but ours was 24F

I am discontinuing 5 varieties of heliconias from my greenhouse in order to consturct a palm/aroid/bromeliad/orchid area across one back all (36 feet). I am interested in making trades for these plants: Heliconia latispatha "Red Orange Gyro" Heliconia pendula "Red Waxy" Heliconia...

I have used Superthrive for over 10 years. I have to say that the things I have seen it make the most noticeable difference in is Vandaceous orchids. If used in conjunction with a good fertilizer at the suggested rate of application (one drop per gallon) it will grow orchid roots like there is no to...

Pazuzu

Yes you can. Depending on the type of pineapple you have (Ananas comosus blah blah blah) some readily make offsets (pups) and some don't. You can always wait til your fruit is ripe, cut it off, eat the fruit and save the top and plant it, and get a new plant. But look around the base of the plant al...

Pazuzu

I'll certainly try to give you all the benefit of my pineapple knowledge (hah hah) Actually I grow a few pineapples, mainly the big variegated ornamentals that very rarely bloom. Here in FL the deer have a predilection for the green type of pineapple, probably because their spines aren't as wicked a...

Pazuzu

No that's not me. I'm a gal, not a guy. I don't sell palms on eBay (actually I don't sell palms at all) I sell bromeliads, heliconias, aroids, etc

Pazuzu

As an eBay seller, I know that shipping is expensive. But there are a lot of companies that are charging you a handling fee and a packing fee mixed in with their postage fee. I am not saying PD does that because I don't know for certain, but their shipping seems very expensive to me. Plant Delights ...

Pazuzu

I got my JOey Palms and my Watermelon Palm today...they look great. Planted them in a super-draining media as was suggested to me by "experts", then retired to listen to Bauhaus and "Bela Lugosi's Dead".

Pazuzu

I won't ever be putting any of the licualas outside here, they will all be greenhouse specimens

Pazuzu

Wes, those are Heliconia inflos. No, they don't do zone 8B unless you have a greenhouse. The hardiest heliconia known to science (haha) that is widely cultivated is a species called H. schiediana, it will survive a light frost most of the time but bloom sporadically after and the blooms are nothing ...

I live in North Central Florida

Aaron,
seedlings pop up seemingly everywhere.

THANKS!!!!!

These are the rest of my more rare palms. The Bottle Palm isn't rare, it grows all over South FL, but its not at all cold hardy here, so has to be greenhoused in the winter. That's it with the reddish color to the fronds. The round fan type palm is Licuala grandis, and the large unbroken feather or ...

Pazuzu

This is one of my favorite palms. I love all the licualas and plan to collect some more. I have read that they are not cultivated a lot outside So Florida and that many of the species have never been collected for propagation. They come from shady lowland rainforest mainly Solomon Islands. Fairchild...

Pazuzu

This is one of the more unusual palms that I have. This palm is so slow growing, I am 45 now and by the time it actually suckers I have a good chance of being dead. I have had it for 2 years. Its planted in the ground in the greenhouse. That's it, the little variegated mapu squeezed in between the s...

I have 5 clumps of this palm growing out by my swimming pool. I think that they are possibly as old as 20 years. They seem pretty slow growing. All the clumps are between 8-10 ft tall. Someone told me it was a "Windmill Palm" but photos of windmill palms I have looked at all seem much larg...

Pazuzu

These palms grow well outside here. They are very hardy. I do not know how old these clumps are. They were here when we bought the house about 3 1/2 years ago. All in all, we have perhaps 15 clumps of this size. They were planted as a xeriscape with Korean Rock Ferns, Sago palms and some other stuff...

Pazuzu

Yes everyone have a great holiday weekend. I didn't get any plants for Christmas, but I did get a great garden bench to put out by the pond. I took the "liberty" however of ordering a few new things for my birthday coming up in less than 2 weeks... This is my neat new bench (thanks, hubby!...
