[bbbradm]

Does anyone know of or have a source of Foxy Lady seeds please?

Seabreeze nurseries may have some. I should have some 3 gallons ready in a few weeks. I plan on planting all the seeds from the next crop.

[bbbradm]

thank you, Ive contacted them and non atm, and I can only get seed sas plants are too hard to bring into Australia

[ErikSJI]

I understand. How many seeds did you want?

Id take as many as I could get !! But its to Australia with very stringent phyto regulations

[ErikSJI]

I will post them when they become available

[bbbradm]

oh you are able to post to Australia, that would be superb

could you email me please bbbradm at hotmail.com

Do you mail also to California? Just a few seeds (5?)

We have shipped them to Australia and NZ. They MUST have a phyto or else they will get destroyed. And the phyto must have the correct wording or else they're destroyed. Very difficult, but possible. I know based on experience.

We won't have any more for several months, so hopefully Erik can help you guys out!

Down at the Brisbane City Botanic gardens a few weeks back there was a V. arecina holding seed in the middle of a bunch of Foxtails. I picked some up off the ground but they had been attacked by insects. Had i cleaned the seed sooner they may have been ok. There were plenty more seeds on the palm, so there is a chance you could snag a few there.

I'm not certain if F2 hybrid Foxy Ladies are fertile, but if they are, Thornlands Park Nursery might have some seed to part with as the two F1s out front have been holding seed for quite some time. They have just sold the property to move up to Mission Beach so stuff like that would be extra baggage for them, but you would need to contact them soon. They are likely clearing out their shade house as they are selling everything, so might have some seedlings too.

I have sent butyagrus seeds to Australia using a customs form. I was unaware that seeds needed a phyto. It may not be cost effective for you if that is the route you need to go. Ours have at least a month to go as well. I would suggest waiting for JD who have shipped these seeds there before.
