Pritchardia mitiaroensis - As far as I know, seed for this palm has only been available one time. It's a very unusual Pritchardia, but is from the South Pacific so not clear whether it will do well outdoors here. But I can pretty much guarantee it's never been tried.

[Matt in SD]

Dypsis species - I just don't have a good place to plant this.

[Matt in SD]

Pritchardia martii - This is from seed off of Dennis Willoughby's plant. I was saving this one to plant, but decided I have enough Pritchardias.

[Matt in SD]

Prestoea montana - Also from Dennis Willoughby's yard...SoCal seed.

[Matt in SD]

Licuala spinosa - This has been in a shadehouse for a year so is acclimated to outdoors in the shade.

[Matt in SD]

Trachycarpus princeps - I have a lot of these. Germination was sporadic over more than a year period so they vary in size. There are 5-6 the size of the plants to the left, with the first fan leaves nearly out. The rest are more like the one on the right or a bit smaller. I can ship these and will take a photo of what's left so you can decide if you want them. What doesn't sell, I'll just keep growing and they'll be quite a bit bigger next year.

[Matt in SD]

Chambeyronia hookeri - A bit ratty...but this is a big plant for $25.

[Matt in SD]

Syagrus 'abreojos'

[Matt in SD]

Fernandoa madagascarensis - This tree is hard to photograph as the leaves are very small. But it's a great plant for a dry garden. MattyB told me the other day that he doesn't even water his and it does fine. From the spiny forest of Madagascar. Flowers are very nice.

[Matt in SD]

Dracaena draco - This is the 15g plant. I am not going to plant these and am trying to clear this area of potted plants. $20 seems more than fair, but if you really want this and can't afford $20...just let me know, it needs to go. Also have a 5g plant that is not much smaller.

Syagrus 'abreojos'

Wow. You just lost your man card.

[Sabal Steve]

Ill buy the hookeri if you still have it?

[Matt in SD]

The following palms are sold:

Pritchardia mitiaroana

Pritchardia minor

Pritchardia martii

Syagrus abreojos

Chambeyronia hookeri

15g Dracena draco

Other than the T princeps (which I'm mainly offering now in case people want them shipped before I pot up), all the plants that are left are things that I will not plant and are as big as I want to grow them. So if there is something you really want but can't afford it or just think the price is too high, make me an offer.

Hey Matt,

I hope this finds you well.

I'll take the Fernandoa madagascarensis.

Send me a Paypal invoice, and I'll get it paid.

Thank you,

Tom

Here's an update on what's left. Again, I'm not particularly attached to anything left other than the T Princeps. So if you want something but can't afford it or something, just make an offer. I'm surprised the Prestoea are left...these are a great looking palm in SoCal and are nice sized plants for $10.

Palms:

liner Archontophoenix purpurea (~5, SH) - $5

2g Dypsis species (1, trunking small Dypsis, GH) - $40

3g Licuala spinosa (1, SH) - $30

1g Prestoea montana (3, local seed, GH) - $10

liner Trachycarpus princeps (~40, SH) - $25

Trees/tropicals -

5g Dracaena draco (1, FS) - $10

My wife and I along with paulgila bought some nice palms from Matt yesterday he has some great palms at great prices . We had a fun time touring his garden and ran into Ob burt and sabal steve from Palm talk . It was a great outing. Thanks for taking time to show us around Matt you have an awesome garden :greenthumb:

[Matt in SD]

Thanks Adam,

It was good to meet you, and Sabal Steve, and to see Paul and Bert again (who incidentally last saw each other at my garden 4 years ago before it was a garden). Hope the plants do well. Sorry I didn't get to chat much with Steve, it turned into a pretty big group...

Erik/Omaha

Great. Pest free if given some sun. I sent one of my babies off my tree to my mother in Oregon and she has had it in a pot for 6 years now. Does need alot of light.

No worries, I was a late arrival. Thanks for showing me around. I enjoyed meeting you and the group. Great garden!
