Local pickup preferred, Shipping available only in the USA's lower 48 for a flat rate of $40, insurance included. PM me with questions.

Do you still have some Voaniola Gerardii for sale?

[Jadd Correia]

Bump for an older post. Do you have any Voaniola gerardii for sale? Thanks.

I’m in. I’ll take one. Done deal. How do I pay?

.... People this post is from 2010 - over 14 years ago. Please be aware of that before bumping threads. They are long gone or sold or planted in their forever homes.  There is no way they are still for sale.

I haven't seen this species available anywhere, any time since 2010. Why are people dredging up ancient sales topics from people long vanished into cyberspace? Get real, read the topic closely and think.

The OP hasn't visited this site since May 22, 2023.

Sometimes people are new to the collecting experience and have had little to no success in accessing certain palms. What's the hurt in bumping an old thread if it might shake loose some palms? I don't get why folks have to be hostile or anti-supportive in this website sometimes. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it. Let folks figure out themselves that coconuts are difficult if not impossible to grow in Cali (see Compton Coco + Old Newport etc.).  

Anyways, hope folks have a safe holiday and stay blessed.

RPS had seeds available recently, but only a very limited amount, and only for EU customers.

There’s no specific harm bumping old threads but bumping an old for sale thread makes little to no sense. If someone has something to sell they will probably post it. And 14 years after the original post? That would be best handled with a PM. Bumping the thread doesn’t even alert the OP. And he hasn’t been posting for a long time.

There's no hurt to bumping an old thread, BUT it takes time and eyes away from threads that are actually active. This is a super rare palm and now others will see this thread being active and think it's available when it's not, because it was bumped. I and others were simply being matter-o-factual. This is the "For Sale" part of the forum, which is much more time sensitive, if it was any other part of the forum no one would have said anything about the thread's age. Pointing out that in the "For Sale" area it's prudent to look at a thread's age and the original poster's year+ lack of presence before replying isn't "hostile or anti-supportive" and no one said anything "not nice" either. If my bluntness came across poorly just know that wasn't the intention, and I can say with certainty it wasn't anyone else's either. We're all enthusiasts here.

Hear, hear. As one of the few-and-far-between seeds/seedlings sellers, I get irked when people resurrect 14+ year-old Lazarus Sales topics for unobtainably rare palms, which only serves to push current and timely topics further down the list. Great idea: See something old you like? PM the seller. Place a topic in "Palms Wanted". You want input on unobtainably rare palms? Start a topic in Discussing Palms subforum that invites discourse and actually teaches something useful.

[Jadd Correia]

Fair enough points to all talking about OP not getting the message, newer posts being lowered, etc. Again, I repeat as a newer user of this forum, that I now have the information about not resurrecting older posts for sale, I won't. I just needed that information and now I will act accordingly. (PM messenger to get info).

How that information (and other information about sales etc.) has been expressed by folks on this site has been less then encouraging or educational. Information can be shared with hope to inform or to belittle. I am for education for empowerment. Good luck in all your palm journeys.
