Surplus Sale Items

Collecting and starting seeds I have managed to have a surplus of items and I always am answering emails about extra plants for sale. So I found the paypal store front widget and have set up some of the extra stuff I currently have. I will be changing it regularly. But the pictures suck on the storefront. So I created this post listing all of the items that will be available in the store. As I add and remove items this popst will be edited as well so that there will always be a large picture and description of the items for sale. U.S. shipping only on sprouts and plants. No shipping on any sprouts or plants to California, Texas, or Arizona. Seeds will ship anywhere.

New Palms Seeds and Spouts

Over the past few weeks I have collected seeds from several palms, I have traded seeds with my new friend Brian in the O-Town, and also a friend from India named Kris mailed me seeds. So I have had lots of preperation to do. I have open the seed room back up for the winter and have a heater on a thermostat that I can set for 80 degrees. I have a thermometer showing a 80-81.7 degrees in the old shower stall. Here are my pictures they have been taken over the past few weeks.

Washingtonia filifera , California Fan Palm Sprouts!

Today I went out to check on a few of the seed bins that I have started recently, and to my suprise I had a bin full of new Washingtonia filifera , or California Fan Palm sprouts. Hands down these have to be the fastest palm seeds to germinate. Back on July 14, I planted around 30 seeds that I had collected from a huge filfera. Here are a few pictures. The first is of the mother tree I collected the seeds from. The next is the bin inside a black plastic bag, and the last are the spouts inside.

First Coconut Palm Sprout Update!

Her are a few progression pictures of my first Coconut Palm seedling. The first is from back in Jan when I collected a few coconuts from the beach. The next picture was taken on May 28, and the third picture was taken on July 24. Also over the weekend I was pulling weeds over by 20 coconuts that I have managed to collect now and found my second sprout. This is the last picture. It looks like it had a little problem popping out. So I planted it so it hopefully will correct itself.

Dypsis lastelliana Redneck Teddy Bear Palm Update

Back on 3/24/08 I started 20 of these seeds. So far I have 2 sprouted Dypsis lastelliana , Redneck Palm, or Teddy Bear Palms. They are just about to put out their second spear. These so far are the coolest looking palm sprouts that I have. The first 2 pictures were taken on 5/21/07, and the last picture was taken on 7/7/08.

New Palm Sprouts Today!

What a day! I came home from work and began playing in the yard. As I was walking around doing the watering I came across the first sprout of the day. My first Coconut Palm has cracked the shell and is making its first appearance. I thought these were never going to sprout. I collected these coconuts on the beach back in Nov. And finally today the first 1 has started. Next I was watering on the porch and noticed 2 spikes sticking out of the Tersmannia altifrons or Joey Palms pots. These were started on the blog back on Feb. 7 here is a link to the post on the Joey Seeds. I have also moved all of the snap tite containers to the porch and the Dypis lastelliana or Redneck Palm Seed container had 2 sprouts in it. These were started on the blog Mar. 25 and here is the link to that post on the Redneck Seeds. And I also have the first Roystonea borinquena, or Puerto Rican Royal Palm seeds that I started in the experiment post back on Feb. 1 This was one of the scored seeds from the cups. Heere is the link to the Seed Experiment Post. And since were talking sprouts this morning I woke up to find the 6th Ice Cream Banana pup just breaking the surface of the ground.
