   The title speaks for itself. I know a lot of you have nurseries down south where these genera are commonly carried, so hopefully this will lead to some new plants for my collection! Willing to purchase (within reason), or swap (about 1800 types of plants to trade with.) Thanks! Jude

   Jubaea chilensis

   Have had ZERO luck on here locating any of my "wants" - so I'll try a simpler method. I'm looking for some Jubaea seeds, or a small seedling. Please do not send me links - I know I can find them if I look. I'm seeing if anyone on here has any at hand. And by small seedling, I'm not talking about a $50 5 gallon plant. Thanks!

   Wanted: seeds or seedlings from unusual locales

   I enjoy collecting plants (or seeds) from all over the world - legally, of course - usually through Ebay, or trades - but I like each of my plants to have an unique story behind it. I'm feeling lucky, so here goes... I'd like to hear from anyone who has seeds, or young plants from weird, unusual, outlandish, locales - rare, or not, it does not matter. It could even just be another country. Maybe some obscure island, or a desert, or what have you - let's make this fun! Again, it doesn't matter what it is - or how rare it is - it's the story that I'm after, associated with the plant/seed. I'm more than happy to cover postage, or trade you for whatever you scare up! I k…

    Looking for a Landscaper who Digs and Buys Large Phoenix Canariensis

    I have a Phoenix Canariensis at one of my rental properties in Bonita, CA that I need removed because it just hit the telephone wires. I was going to sell it to one of the usual businesses that always knock on my doors asking to buy our larger CIDPS but thought that I'd like to offer the business to someone who uses this website. This particular CIDP has at least 15 feet of trunk and is in great shape. It's out in the front yard by the street so should be easy to get large equipment in. If you know of someone who needs the business, is professional, and would offer a good price please send me a PM. Thanks, Joel

    Looking for a small Jubaea shipped

    Well I am in search of a small Jubaea that could be shipped to the Fort Worth, TX, area. I am really interested in one that has regular fronds, but isn't huge yet (Still ship-able) that I could plant outside. I would prefer something larger than seedling, and mostly or totally without strap leaves, that would be suitable for planting. (For a reasonable price hopefully) The blue variety would be awesome, but now I think I am asking for to much. The green variety is just as nice. I found a nursery in california's ad online and they said they might be able to ship, but they haven't gotten back to me in quite a while, and I also checked a popular palm nursery that ship…

    I am getting spotty responses from the two ebay sellers that offer this plant, so I would like to see if any of you have this plant growing wild, or in your nursery - I need between 15 and 20 small plants. This is a weed for some of you, so hopefully you can hook me up. I will pay, of course, or trade you. These are for a customer of mine. Thanks!

    Please advise if and where I can purchase a large plant. A quick internet search seems to yield only small plants suitable for mail-order. Retail or wholesale, a 24" box plant would be the ideal size, anywhere in California or southern Oregon. Thanks !

    I'm always on the lookout for buying (or swapping) for seedlings in larger qty's than, say, 2 or 3. Anything goes - not just Palms. I don't care how common they are. As for seeds - I'd like to improve my own skill with seeds, so I'm game for those as well. I'm not one of those guys with boatloads of dollars, but maybe we can help each other. Thanks!
