Encephalartos seeds

[Tic91]

Good Morning everyone!

Does anyone know where I can find the seeds of Encephalartos Horridus and Encephalartos Lehmanni?

I would need someone who makes shipments to Italy ...

I thank you in advance and I await your answers

@Tic91Its is illegal to ship ANY encephalartos seeds or plants outside of the country as they are listed on cites appendix 1. Violations are as serious as shipping ivory or rhino horn or any other endangered or extinct in the wild animal or plant.

thank you very much for the prompt reply!

I find it a bit 'absurd, in the end are native South African plants and yet they are all over the world ...

however I do not discuss this fact, in fact I was hoping to find some European sellers! always if there are any or if anyone knows ?!

thank you again and I await replies.

As far as I know the European Union is viewed as one "country" so rarepalmseeds will be your best bet as they are in Germany. All their Encephalartos seed had "European only" on them due to the CITES restrictions.

thank you so much for your answer!

unfortunately rarepalmseeds I have already contacted him and has no availability ...

Of course we've got plenty of availability within the US, but we've got great gobs of cultivated cycads.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

This topic belongs in the 'Tropical Plants Other Than Palms’ forum, so don't be surprised 

if the moderator moves it there.

True, but palm and cycad seeds often follow each other.

I'm sorry not to find sellers who ship to Italy ...

That's the thing with rare plants, you have to wait until seeds become available. When they do become available you've got to move fast to acquire them. Keep an eye on RPS and I think in time you'll get some.
