Only have 8 one gallon plants left in 1 gallon pots. $80 each.Literaly, the only source in the world for this species,in this size. I collected the seeds from habitat and have grown them for the last 5 years outdoors in Mesa, Arizona.Shipping is $25 USPS large flat rate box. 2 plants per box,fully potted in 1 gallons for last 5 years is the best deal for $185 total.If this species is a 'must have' for your collection,this is your rare opportunity to obtain them. DM.👍

Only 4 left... These have not been available in any form,worldwide,since 2008 seeds sales from RPS. Last chance to obtain the real deal 5 year old plants... Just hoping to expand their range beyond the 2000 plants in habitat in the DR. Extremely rare and tough species,due to it's extremely remote location. None producing seed outside habitat that I know of. Here's what the perfectly issued rental car looked like after finally getting to the habitat site in situ.🤦🚫 Definitely not an easy trip for the faint hearted!

All 8 plants have already sold out.🤷‍♂️ I thank everyone for stopping by,and to the 4 people that purchased,I know you will have good luck with them too as these guys have experienced 28F to 125F and even full AZ sun without even a scratch. VERY tough and trouble free palm species to be sure.🌴

From the look of your previous thread, these look great.  I bet they’d love baking heat, full sun, and well draining alkaline substrate.  Those are some harsh looking oceanside hills and cliffs!

Yes. The habitat where these grow is extremely harsh. Always very hot. Also,humid wind is always blowing off the ocean, although it's very dry otherwise. Don't know how they do it,but these trees are mostly growing in solid dog tooth limestone. It is the only palm species growing on that mountain, and is the only location in the whole country where it grows naturally. With the tiny seeds and extremely delicate sprouts, it's a wonder that any actually make it to maturity.

For those curious about the root structure,this appears to be a VERY deep rooted species. Habitat is almost desert like,so it makes sense. Roots would mainly go straight down in search of water, without much side rooting. Looks like they should have been grown in deep stuewe or citrus pots instead of standard 1 gallons,but who knew...?🤷‍♂️

That's some healthy root structure. Mine is just about the same size as yours. It's been in the ground since I got them from you. About a year ago. Character leaf starting to show!
