Encephalartos Gratis Seed

Post by chumleycycads.com » Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:34 pm

This appears to be a very good deal for cycad lovers. Gratis is a very fast grower, especially for Encephalartos
and I would recommend it. Phil Bergman usually dos not sell anything this cheap, so he is doing you a giant favor.
I will probably buy some myself. Robert Chumley
I live on 12 acres in Central Florida about half way between Tampa and Walt Disney World.I have seed colonies of over 60 varieties of cycads. I have over one half acre of variegated cycads and I make many hybrids as well.

That is a good price for E. gratus seeds. I thought I would share a few photos of my male and female plants for those of you who might be growing some of these seeds:

You are very welcome... I will contribute what I can when I can. Now, if I can just learn how to add the actual photos into the posts I'll be happy!
