Bottle Palm (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis) - Hardy Zone 9b-11. Sadly these aren't cold hardy and should be kept from frosts and freeze but are wonderfully unique palms that look like no other. They can however take light frosts and very short periods of freeze but the current leaves will become brown, spotted or crispy. The tree may not die unless left for extended hours in those harsh temperatures but is recommended to be kept from them. When more mature, the base is colored cement gray and is swollen, eventually narrowing towards the green crownshaft, emitting its somewhat wide recurving pinnate 'feather' fronds. Easily (and commonly) grown in containers for years and make an excellent specimen to show off! They are pretty fast growing and if you're a collector and don't have this, you're missing out! They only reach heights of about 10-12 feet so this is one that you can enjoy for many years! I don't think you would go wrong to have this tree to show off on your property or collection.

Besides being part of the African Parrot's diet, their fresh seeds produce a  natural lubricant used throughout the world in many products. During the cold weather it is best to not water them much until summer growth begins and then water very heavily. They are salt spray tolerant as well and will grow without problems near beach side areas. Since they are a large growing palm, they will need room to grow, please keep this in mind before planting in a permanent location.

     Beccariophoenix alfredii Palm - Zone 8 and up - Cold Hardy, Very Rare in cultivation! Said to be cold hardy to handle moderate freezes/frosts. Originates from the high plateaus of Madagascar where the temperatures regularly drop below freezing nightly during the winters. This palm grows to heights of about 30+ ft and is able to handle humid conditions. There is little information yet as these are so new to cultivation. The general overall appearance is that of a coconut palm until it reaches 5+ feet of trunk, so these should be a very welcomed palm for those of us who are not able to grow coconut palms due to regional temperatures and other factors. The crownshaft is yellow with reddish tints from a distance and just adds that much more color to your area.

     A fast growing palm that is sure to find its way into the hearts of the collectors. Because of the tolerance of freezes, these should make an excellent landscape specimen from juveniles to adulthood. These do well in a full sun position once established, but the ones you receive from here should be grown in a deep container in filtered light until they are about 2 feet tall and acclimated to full sun eventually. This is not one for the indoor environment for size and non-tolerance of too low a light. When in the juvenile stage until past the crowning from the ground they are a "fountain of feathers" throwing the pinnate fronds into the air about 8 ft like a fireworks display.

               New Addition!

     Giant Window Pane Palm - (Beccariophoenix Sp Eastern) A very coveted palm to own! Seeds are only offered about every 2-4 years and if they are not collected and germinated when fresh, there is no point in trying to grow them from seed. The fresh seeds are only viable for about 2 months. There is a cousin to this palm without the narrow slatted leaves that is not window form and is a little more cold hardy than these but not nearly as beautiful. Recorded by palm experts in the past to be Cold Hardy to about 28 ºF and should be protected from frosts or leaves will become spotted. One cold spell that lasts more than a few hours, a 'hard freeze', may kill this palm. If it has been touched by the cold (but not killed) they will of course grow again when the weather warms and the spotty leaves will be gone in no time. This is fast growing once it becomes established (producing about 5-10 new leaves per year) and makes an outstanding palm for the avid collector that leaves a fantastic impression on everyone! They will be pretty large even within about a year from now, so give it space where ever you plant this. The leaves are a creamy light green that can even be seen in the adults. The trunks eventually become large and woody growing to heights of about 20 feet retaining their creamy whitish-green color (see pics below). Here in winter of 2009 we experienced the coldest we've had in about 20+ years. Some said it was a record breaking few nights. We dipped down to recorded temperatures of 19ºF in areas just a mile away from our property, but our thermometers read 21º at the coldest low. We thought these (and many others) were gone, but in late March, early April 09 the Window Pane palms that didnt die, began to emerge new leaves! So, you can drawn your own conclusions to make a decision. They all were BROWNED to the buds some showing a hint of green, but I thought they were all dead until they began to re-grow. I did lose about half of what we had because we were not expecting this cold for this long and they have endured freezes in the past with no issues besides the potted leaves. But for 8 nights around or below 25 and three of those nights consecutively hovering at 21-22 for fourteen hours straight, I am still surprised that ANYTHING came back that was not protected. And yes, I found out just what plants could at least handle that much cold abuse from our elephant ears to the palms. Many are coming back to life and that places them in a new cold hardy category. No coverings were going to save them from the actual temperatures that they were subjected to and to my great surprise, many of our plants lived! Of course some died.

     The spineless leaves are large and are a beautiful pinnate type spreading out even before it begins to form a trunk. These could be grown efficiently on the patio or indoors in a container (if you have the space) for many years until too large and makes a great foliage expression! What a unique and beautiful palm to add to your collection! This is a good price since in about 2 years they will cost about $70-$100 each palm! Get them now while you can, they are going fast!

     Licuala Grandis (Ruffled Fan Palm) as it is commonly named. Cold Hardy to zone 9. This is an outstanding palm for the avid collector that makes a fantastic impression! These palms have almost a completely round fan leaf and grow on a very thin trunk upwards from 8-12 feet tall. They are not very cold hardy but can easily be protected in a greenhouse situation in colder areas or grown in a container and brought indoors for the colder weeks. These are known to be an excellent indoor palm and are sometimes seen growing in well-to-do hotel lobbies. They are semi fast growing although the seeds can take 6 months or more to germinate. Ours took between 5 and 9 months and still a few stragglers after 13 months. We have done the work for you and the wait on the seeds. No need to buy a few seeds to only have one or two come up and wait forever.

     Licuala peltata var. sumawongii - Cold Hardy to 28ºF AWESOME FOLIAGE! Here we have some cool seedlings that will grow into one of the most spectacular forms of the Licuala species and the largest undivided leafed Fan palm! The leaves get, large, flat and well, see the photo and you'll know why you want one as bad as I did! The leaves can grow to 7 feet in diameter! They can handle colder temperatures than most any other Licuala variety and I know from experience that the L. grandis can take mild to moderate freezes, so this one should do even better! They still should be protected if possible and protected from windy areas to avoid ripped adult leaves. The trunk is short, but the leaves will hide it anyway. These make an elegant appearance as a conservatory or lobby plant with plenty of room to display. Easily container grown for northern applications and can grow in the container for many years to enjoy. Don't miss out! No chance on unviable seeds.

     Trachycarpus wagnerianus - Miniature Dwarf Chusan, Waggie Palm, Dwarf Himalayan Windmill Palm - Cold hardy to zero degrees, this is one well known for its northern placement. They are reported to be pest free like most of the fan palm varieties so little care is needed. The compact fan leaves are deeply split and rigid and appear so even from a distance. The Waggie or miniature Chusan palm is known to be able to withstand harsh freezes and snow without flinching. Being just as desirable, the leaf formation is rounded fan frond, tough and rigid in appearance and structure. These palm trees make the best northern variety due to their indoor tolerance throughout the winter months and having the capability of living for years in a container. The palms do reach heights of about 30 feet over time and because of their slow growth rate can be enjoyed for many years as a portable potted specimen to arrange in your plant kingdom how ever they look the best. They spread out to about 5 feet when maintained in a container and will reach a max spread of about 10-15 feet once they outgrow that environment. They will grow faster once forming a trunk as most palms have this attribute. Seeds on this species seems to vary as far as germination rates are concerned. I suspect that the fresher the seeds, the better chance of germination. I have tried germinating them in the past only to have 5-9 out of 1000 peek out of the earth. Finally we have a batch that germinated readily and are soon to be looking for a new home.

               New Addition!

     Stone Gate Palm (Trachycarpus Princeps) - Real & Rare! Cold Hardy to 8-10 ºF !

The massive trunk supports a huge crown of over 50 huge arching pinnate leaves that may reach 18' long. These leaves are deep green shading to a yellow stem where the leaflets are replaced by spines. The orange dates are formed on drooping, highly branched inflorescences and are very decorative. My wife calls them The Fireworks Palm. These should be grown in a 6" container until they are root bound and then transferred to a one gallon container.

     Senegal date palm (Phoenix reclinata) - Cold Hardy to  10ºF - A well known and popular clumping, pinnate leafed (feather) palm of the phoenix genus palm species that is widely recognized as a staple in the palm loving communities.

The fronds arch downward from the crownshaft that sit on the top of trunks which are thinner in caliper than most other well known cold hardy phoenix palm varieties. When you see these palms in their glory, it will make you feel satisfied as a plant lover that you are an owner of a Senegal Date palm. The dates or fleshy coated seeds are not edible and are smaller than its cousin the true Date palm and I'm not sure why all the phoenix varieties receive the "Date" nickname when only there is only one that is edible, at least taste-wise. Either way, these palms are a versatile growing palm and can take up little space when placed strategically. Their fast growing nature gives the phoenix reclinata an edge and makes them a favorite palm to grow.
