   I'm going through the yard and removing a few palms that don't seem to be 100% happy. I'm looking to dig these up ASAP to make room for new plantings. Come and help dig them, bring a few pots and they're yours. PM for details, directions. First come, first served. Hyophorbe Verschafeltii Gaussia Maya Licuala Ramsayi All 3 of these got a bit beat up this past winter, but should recover nicely if put in a good micro-climate and given some TLC. I'd rather give them away and give them a second chance then throw them in the greens bin. I might have a couple more as well, so whoever comes to get these might end up with some more if interested.

   I'm digging up tons of "Shell Ginger" ... Come & get it !!! I live in Venice, CA. I'll be around all weekend putting a new back fence up. If somebody can use it that would make me feel better than just putting it in the "Green Trash" can ...... 2119 Louella Ave Venice, CA 90291 (310)740-2070 Cheers, Brandon

   Free posts used for shadecloth structure

   Rather than put these in a landfill I figured I would see if anyone here had the need for any of these posts that I made for my shadecloth structures. These are 1.5" pvc, about 7-8 feet tall each. The base of each is a 8" x 8" concrete block with the PVC pipe cemented into it. I would bury the bases so you couldn't see them and it added more support to have them buried. These work good if you are looking to cover a section of your yard with shade cloth and not just 1 palm with a shade cloth tent. Pick up in Fallbrook. I have 8 poles available, and the cross section pieces. PM me if interested.

   Desmoncus sp.

   I went for a hike in the rain forest near the Naranjo River the other day and collected some fresh Desmoncus sp. seeds. These were collected on private property with the permission of the owner. According to my Costa Rican plant books, there are four species of Desmoncus in this country so I am not sure which species these are. Desmoncus is a climbing palm and is very spiny, so beware! I can send out several small packets of seeds. Please PM me with your name and address.

    Howdyall: One of the Arenga engleri in my bustling hedgerow of same was not happy, so I removed it. It appears that it just didn't keep up with the herd relative to the water competition from the other Arengas near it, and was starting to decline. It's now sitting in a big huge bucket of water waiting for someone to come and get it, take it home, and love it, or at least cuss it with grace. The picture shows it next to the infamous Green Monster, for scale. PM me, and arrange a pickup. First come, first served, sooner the better. When you get it home, let it soak a day or two in a bucket of water OUT OF THE SUN AND WIND. Then, plant it in a big pot, …

    I have a Dypsis Saintlucei that doesn't look too pretty, but I just can't bring myself to throw her away. I don't have a spot for her in my yard, so I don't plan on reviving her myself. One 1.5 - 2 foot leaf and an emerging spear that is not looking that great either. If you are a master of dypsis revival, come rescue this poor maiden. I'm south of San Diego. Shoot me your email via PM if you want a pic.

I really love this Florida native cycad. Although this cycad is no where near to be extinct however its native ranges have been greatly reduced by development and agriculture. A flour-like starch called arrowroot was made from this cycad in the early 20th century. …

    Manihot grahamii large cuttings

    • 3.1k views

    I planted a M. grahamii for some temporary canopy and now I'm either cutting it down or maybe I'll pollard it and leave it for another year. Anyway, I have some nice branches, several feet long, that will take easily if anyone wants to give this tree a try. They are fast growing, trouble free, and the display of bees pollinating the flowers in summer is the most amazing I've ever seen. Give me a call or come on by and you can have as many cuttings as you want. 6192067782
