My pair of Encephalartos horriwood x horriwood are both flushing right now. My in ground specimen is pushing out another late flush after pushing earlier flushes, including a couple of pups. The potted one is pushing its first flush this year, and finally pushing two leaves instead of one.

Let’s try this again!

The leaflets are highly variable on the entire leaf and seem to mutate with each new flush. This one’s been in the ground for a few years and is getting ready to push out a nice flush.

Royals grow great in Phoenix!! You might also consider a mule!! first picture is a mule the next is a royal both in my jungle in Phoenix

Mr. Krause, Welcome to Palmtalk ! You are not in compliance with the "Rule and Guidelines" for the Sale section. since you have not listed the price. The volunteer seedling Phoenix canariensis palms sprouted around the property have no economic value. They are too large for manual transplant, and too small to matter to a commercial tree service. Also, with the beetle threat it doesn't make much sense to plant more of this genus. Large Phoenix roebellinii do not transplant well. The Chamaerops humilis and the Cycas revoluta are available at any size already in a container, and so,... only individuals expecting a free plant would invest transplant labor. I believe that the only plant which might command payment would be the Cycad adjacent to the staircase. For Cycad pricing you can view this website, junglemusic.net. Best wishes !

I was particularly impressed by the size of the male cone on my Encephalartos munchii. It is the first time it coned and I don't recall seeing any munchii cones in person before. I had no perspective on what to expect until it began to stretch out and start dropping pollen. I decided to get out the tape measure just to see how tall it is. With the peduncle, the first cone is topping out at about 37" but the peduncle adds about 10" of that 37". Since my Encephalartos cerinus is also now yielding a little pollen and has likely achieved its full size, I measured it as well. This cone seems bigger than past, but now I will have a measurement as opposed to memory to gauge future cones on this species, or at least this plant. The cerinus is about 24" inclusive of the peduncle, which is about 4" tall.

Cycas panzhihuaensis x Cycas taitungensis

Nice flush on C panz x C multifrondis pushing through a pollinated cone.

Mine is considerably younger than yours and still in a tree pot. Never seen a mature plant actually. Yours looks to possess a lot of the Transvenosus leaflets traits. Mine does flush that gold color also. Looks cool. -dale

Chamaedorea woodsoniana crownshaft patterns.

Dioon edule I got from @PalmBossTampa

I really lucked out getting a couple blue Arenarius out of a flat of straight green Arenarius that I bought a couple years ago! This one is almost as blue as my “True blues” and throwing for the second time this year!

This Trappes Valley Latifrons is throwing a nice leaf more than twice as long as the older leaves. All 3 I bought last year are flushing one for the second time since spring! I dont know where these got the reputation of being slow but they are some of the faster Cycads I grow. These babies are for sure going into 15 gal. Pots next year.

My (4) Kentiopsis are fruiting for 3-6 years now and some spots under them are wet and shady enough for volunteers. Overall height I estimate at 22-32' tall. They still are a few leaves short(~3-4) of a full crown(10-12 leaves) after Milton stripped them 18 months ago. Some have currently green fruits that will turn red in a couple months if restrictions are lifted and we can get them watered. They are water lovers, maybe its better they have less leaves in a drought. Trouble free palms that add the dark green crownshafts and leaves for a complementary look to the other crownshafts. These do like their Mg, K to stay that darker green color. I dust them along with my cuban copernicias with langbeinite every year and fertilize with florikan palm osmotic release fertilizer. They are so tall, I have to crank my neck to look at the crowns these days. They do provide some good filtered shade for the C. macrocarpas I have under them.

This is a property that is surrounded with Braheas

This is my H. califanoi
