10 Exotic Tropical Mexican Fan Palm Tree Seeds (Washingtonia robusta) Mexican Fan Palm, (Washingtonia robusta), is an Arrow-Straight Palm Tree that can Grow to Heights of 40 to 50 Feet, and in some cases, will reach a Majestic 80 Feet Tall. The Fan Palm is a Fast-Growing Evergreen Palm that can Grow up to 6 Feet per Year for the First few years. They can Survive Temperatures as Low as 20 Degrees F for short periods of time, but extended cold will kill even mature trees. Also known as “Washington palm,” it is Tolerant of poor soil and drought, and does well in hot, dry urban environments, where it’s grand height stands out against the city skyline. It does need a lot of sunshine and a lot of room to grow in USDA plant hardiness zones 9 to 11. Plant your Mexican Fan Palm in Spring. Under ideal growing conditions, a young Mexican Fan Palm Tree can Grow 6 Feet a Year, Reaching Heights of 80 Feet or More. In mature trees, dead fronds usually drop off the tree as it grows. Younger trees, however, tend to hold onto these dead fronds. Some cities legally mandate that tree owners must remove the thatch from their trees — a daunting task that requires a professional when the trees get taller. They will thrive in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11. Not to Worry as they make Excellent Potted Trees that can get huge in the smallest of containers. Although they like well-drained, moderately rich soil, they can survive in sand and poor soils just as long as there is good drainage. You can grow a young plant in a container to give your Deck or Patio a Tropical Exotic Style, but do not plant one in a small yard since they need large, open areas. And be sure to never give them too much water as that will cause root rot, which eventually leads to the canopy falling off. Although Mexican Fan Palm Trees are native to the desert, they are only somewhat drought tolerant. They like Full Sun to partial shade and Well-Draining Sand to Loam Type Soil. They can tolerate both slightly alkaline and slightly acidic soil.It can take many years depending upon the environment but in the late spring, the Fan Palm produces small creamy flowers. Flowers grow in clusters on the branched inflorescence 8-10ft long that extends past the leaves. Flowers are followed by black berry-like drupes, about 1/2 inches in diameter. Fruits are edible, though thin-fleshed. They are sweet and taste like dates, can be dried or made into a jelly.Mexican Fan Palm is cold hardy and can tolerate cold down to 10F but temperatures lower than 23F might damage leaves. It is great for growing in USDA Zones 8a (10 to 15 F) to 11 (above 40 F). It has Optimal Growth in the Full Sun, but will tolerate some shade while young. It can also tolerate drought, but grows much faster when receiving plenty of water. It Needs moist well drained soil.Fan Palm Germination:Due to the often slow and uneven germination of Tropical & Exotic seeds, Patience is Needed. Follow these steps to get more even & faster rates of germination.1) Rough up the outer shell of the seed with rough grit sand paper to allow water to permeate the shell. 2) Pour boiling hot water over palms seeds. Repeat daily & Keep them in water for 7 days, changing the water daily.3) Sow 1/2” Deep, Using a Heated Propagator, keep the soil warm around 85 F is optimal. Keep moist. (Not too wet).4) Periodically inspect the seeds to check for mold or fungus. If found, clean seeds with a copper based fungicide, rinse them really well, and replant them in a new and sterile potting mix.4) Be patient & expect germination to occur anywhere between 2-9 months as germination with Palms, or any Tropical seeds are well known to be erratic.Please Check out our Other Items!Buy with Confidence as Customer Service is our #1 Priority and are available 7 days a week.

10 Fiji Fan Palm Tree Seeds (Pritchardia pacifica) Fast Growing Tropical Plant
10 Fiji Fan Palm Tree Seeds Pritchardia pacifica Cycad Fast Growing EvergreenThe Fiji Fan Palm Tree, (Pritchardia pacifica), is one of the world’s most beautiful fan palms. It is an ornamental plant that is great for indoors or outdoors. You can’t help, but think about Hawaii by looking at this palm. This species is particularly tolerant of salty soils, making it an excellent choice for planting along the coasts in the tropics.The Fiji Fan Palm is distinguished by its rounded, undulate leaf blades with stiff segment tips and abaxial surface more or less devoid of lepidia, inflorescences shorter than or equaling the petioles, and small S-38 fruits. Perhaps the most widely cultivated species of the genus in tropical landscapes and gardens, it is among the most handsome of palms. This striking fan palm has solitary trunk with an interesting fiber patterning at the base. Trunk is straight, smooth, about 20 inches in diameter, topped with crown of 15-20 large fronds.Leaves are palmate, or fan shaped, about 7ft long by 6ft wide. They range in color from dull green to bright lime green. Unlike many other fan palms, the Fiji Fan Palm has no spines along the petioles. The Fiji palm that can get up to 10-20 ft tall and 5-10 ft wide.Scientific name:Pritchardia pacificaCommon names:Fiji Fan Palm, Fiji Palm.Origin:Native to Fiji in the Southwest Pacific.Growth Rate:Slow. Up to 25 ft tall and 10 ft wide.Cold Tolerance:USDA Zone 11 (above 40 F)Light Req:Partial shade to full sunWater Req:ModerateSoil Req:Widely adaptable.Fruit:Yes. Blue-black. Not Edible.Propagation:By seed, germinating in 2-3 months.Fiji Palm Germination:Soak the seeds in a bowl of clean water for seven days. Be sure to change the water every morning to ensure it stays fresh before starting. Some have found it better to crack the hard seed coat before hand to help facilitate germination, while it has recently been found that complete removal of the hard seed coat can also increase germination rates dramatically. The time needed for germination can be sped up dramatically using a heated propagator set to the Optimal temperature of 100-104 F at all times after being placed into soil. 1) Mix 1/2 cup of bleach with five cups of water. Place the seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them. The bleach will sterilize the outside of the seeds and prevent mold growth. If layer of skin is still present, just peel it off. 2) Place the Seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them. 3) Fill a pot with high quality potting soil & plant the seeds so they are level with the soil surface. The seeds do not have to be completely covered to germinate. 4) Use a Heated Propagator to keep the temperature as as close to 104 degrees F as possible. The seeds should not be in sunlight as they are at risk for drying out. Water the soil until it is damp to the touch. The soil must stay damp (not wet), at all times throughout the germination process. 5) Be patient–it can take 2 months for some, while others will take over 3-4 months or more to germinate as with any Exotic or Tropical seeds.

5 “DWARF” Japanese Maple Tree Seeds (Mikawa yatsubusa) UNIQUE Hemp Herb Bonsai
5 Dwarf Japanese Maple Tree Seeds (Mikawa yatsubusa) “Unique Hemp Style Looking Dwarf Landscaping or Potted Bonsai Tree”If you’re looking for a Gorgeous Red “Dwarf ” Maple, we offer those as well.SURE to Catch Everyone’s Eye, the (Mikawa yatsubusa) Japanese Maple that Looks Just like a Hemp Plant, but is Actually another Rare Dwarf Species. They will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more. This tree should be grown in a location that is shaded from the hot afternoon sun. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn’t be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.

Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.Mikawa Yatsubusa Japanese Maple is a fine choice for the yard, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a ‘thriller’ in the ‘spiller-thriller-filler’ container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag – this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.Mikawa Maple Germination:1)Remove the papery wing and Put the seeds in a heat-proof container and pour hot water over them. The water temperature should be no higher than 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the seeds cool as with the water and allow the maple seeds to soak for at least 24 hours or up to two days.2)Drain the water and place the seeds in a plastic bag filled with potting soil, sand or peat. Moisten the mixture with a small amount of water. Poke a few small holes in the bag to allow for air circulation.3)Put the bag of seeds in the refrigerator for approximately 120 days. This stratification process breaks down the seed coats and prepares them for germination. When you remove the seeds, you may see small roots growing from the tips, indicating that the seeds have begun to germinate.4)Fill 4-inch pots with potting mix and sow the seeds on the surface of the soil. Cover seeds with three-eighths inch of soil.5)Water the seeds until the soil feels moist. Let the soil dry out before watering again to prevent rotting.6)Watch for seedling emergence with one to two weeks. When seedlings emerge, provide light shade to prevent burning.

The Branching is also Denser. Small, urn shaped Whitish-Pink Flowers are Produced from October to December. Round, 3/4″ knobby Fruits gradually Ripen to and Orange Red Color when in Full Flowering. Choose a Protected Site to Ensure Fruit Every Year. The Dark Green Glossy Foliage is Beautiful in itself, as is the Attractive Cinnamon colored Bark. Arbutus unedo is naturally adapted to dry summer climates, and has become a very popular ornamental plant in California and the rest of the west coast of North America. It can grow easily in USDA hardiness zones 8-11 Outdoors, or can be grown in zones 4-7 when grown in containers and brought indoors during the colder months.Including Highly Medicinal Properties, The Strawberry Fruit replicates flavors reminiscent of apricots and guavas with subtle woody undertones, a characteristic evident of many wild shrub fruits.Strawberry Tree Germination:Strawberry Tree seeds have a notoriously very low rate of germination not passing 4.2%, caused by the presence of certain inhibitory substances diffused by the fruit. A 30 day “cold stratification” & using a heated propagator to keep temperatures at an optimal warmth is a Must for Germination of the Strawberry Tree Seeds. Seed germination is strongly influenced by the temperature and shows an optimal temperature of 68°F that gives an appx. rate of 19.2%. When set to a higher temperature of 86°F seeds recorded a much higher rate of 18% germination. Needless to say, after cold stratification, keep the temperature at 86+ degrees F for optimal chances.1) Soak seeds in “Warm Water” for 6 days. Be sure to change water Daily.2) Place the seeds in a moist paper towel and place inside of a zip lock bag. Cut a few tiny holes into bag. Then to cold stratify, place in the fridge for 30 days. This will help increase germination rates greatly. Be sure to keep them “moist” (not wet) while stratifying.2) Sow seeds on top of a Well Draining Seed Starting Mix & Lightly cover with a thin layer of sand as they need light to germinate. Use a grow lamp, or keep in a sunny window.3) Use a spray bottle to keep the soil “moist”, not wet.4) Patience is required as germination times are erratic as with any Tropical seed. Seeds will germinate anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks and are More than Worth the Wait!”Please Contact us First if you need Anything”Germinación del madroño:Las semillas del madroño tienen una tasa de germinación notoriamente muy baja, que no pasa del 4,2 %, debido a la presencia de ciertas sustancias inhibidoras difundidas por la fruta. Una “estratificación en frío” de 30 días y el uso de un propagador calentado para mantener las temperaturas a un nivel óptimo son imprescindibles para la germinación de las semillas del madroño. La germinación de las semillas está fuertemente influenciada por la temperatura y muestra una temperatura óptima de 68 °F que da una tasa aproximada del 19,2 %. Cuando se establece una temperatura más alta de 86 °F, las semillas registraron una tasa de germinación mucho más alta del 18 %. No hace falta decir que, después de la estratificación en frío, mantenga la temperatura a más de 86 grados F para obtener las mejores posibilidades.1) Remoje las semillas en “agua tibia” durante 6 días. Asegúrese de cambiar el agua a diario.2) Coloque las semillas en una toalla de papel húmeda y colóquelas dentro de una bolsa con cierre hermético. Corte algunos agujeros pequeños en la bolsa. Luego, para estratificar en frío, colóquelas en el refrigerador durante 30 días. Esto ayudará a aumentar considerablemente las tasas de germinación. Asegúrese de mantenerlas “húmedas” (no mojadas) mientras estratifica.2) Siembre las semillas sobre una mezcla para semillas que drene bien y cúbralas ligeramente con una fina capa de arena, ya que necesitan luz para germinar. Use una lámpara de cultivo o manténgalas en una ventana soleada.3) Use una botella rociadora para mantener la tierra “húmeda”, no mojada.4) Se requiere paciencia, ya que los tiempos de germinación son erráticos como con cualquier semilla tropical.

10 WINDMILL FAN PALM Tree Seeds Trachycarpus Fortunei MOST COLD HARDY Palm Plant
10 Windmill Palm Tree Seeds (Trachycarpus fortunei) Fast Growing, Most Cold Hardy PalmThe Windmill Palm, Trachycarpus fortunei, is the Most Cold Hardy of the arborescent palms found Anywhere in the World – at least as far as we know. Originating from central China and adjacent parts of southeast Asia, it is grown in far flung parts of the world these days, withstanding surprising amounts of cold, wintry weather. If you’ve seen a picture of a palm tree with snow covering it, most likely it was a T. fortunei. Featuring a solitary thick stem and long petioles with two rows of small spines and several leaflets arranged in a rounded fan shape, the windmill is a slow-growing, tall and hardy palm and can grow up to anywhere between 39’ to 66’ feet tall. Due to the fan-shaped arrangement of its leaves, the palm species is also referred to as the Chinese Windmill Palm. Each frond is about 55” to 75” inch long with several up to 35” inches long leaflets and 24” to 39” inch long petiole. The leaf bases form coarse layers on the trunk giving it a very rough texture. Chinese windmill is one of the hardiest known palm species and can easily tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. The palm species produces large, branched panicles of fragrant flowers in spring. The plant is winter hardy to USDA zone 7. Or, if you live in colder climates, they also make a great container plant that can be brought indoors during the colder months. If planted outside, for optimal growth, for the first 2 years cover the tree with a piece of plastic during the cold winter months. Be sure to cut a few small holes on each side so it can still breath well. After that, you’ll never have to cover them again, and the cold months won’t stunt their growth as they are the most cold hardy palm tree in the world. If you’re planting in a soil comprised of mostly clay, to get the best start and optimal growth, dig out a 2’x2′ hole, and fill it with a sandy compost mix. Be sure that it’s a clean and sterile mix. That is all that is needed for their growth to accelerate, without being stunted when the roots do grow into the clay. During the summer months, water them frequently, and fertilize them at least once a month to get the fastest optimal growth. Only fertilize them once in mid Fall, and once again near the middle of winter as they don’t feed or drink as much water during the winter months. The 5th picture of the Chinese Windmill is one I planted at my grandmother’s house 2 years ago, and it was very tiny; appx 1′ tall. Even though they are known to be a slow growing palm, if you take care of them as described, they will grow a lot faster than slow and produce a Palm the size of the one in picture number 4. We’re in NC, and it was rock hard clay, but if you take care of them the first 2 crucial years, there will be no stunted growth, only optimal.Windmill Palm Germination:1) Fill a bowl with warm water, add the seeds, and allow them to soak for about three days. Change the water on a daily basis. Soaking the seeds increases their chance of germinating, and may speed up the germination process.2) Put on waterproof gloves, pick up the seeds, and quickly dip them in a solution of one part household bleach to 10 parts water. Rinse the seeds with water. This process sterilizes the seeds, and reduces the chance of a fungal growth.3) Use a well mixed & well draining potting soil. Plant only 1/4″ deep with soil firmly pressed over them. Use a spray bottle to keep it moist but not wet. Avoid overwatering, because this can cause the seeds to rot.4) Seal the pots with a piece of plastic tightly. This promotes the soil moisture retention during the germination process.5) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil between 64 to 70 degrees F. Expect the seeds to germinate within eight to 12 weeks.6) Remove the glass pane or plastic bag, as soon as germination sets in. Place the pot near a sunny window, so it’s indirectly exposed to sunlight.Germinación de la palma de molino de viento:1) Llene un recipiente con agua tibia, agregue las semillas y déjelas en remojo durante unos tres días. Cambie el agua a diario. Remojar las semillas aumenta las posibilidades de germinación y puede acelerar el proceso.2) Póngase guantes impermeables, recoja las semillas y sumérjalas rápidamente en una solución de una parte de lejía doméstica por diez partes de agua. Enjuague las semillas con agua. Este proceso esteriliza las semillas y reduce la posibilidad de que crezcan hongos.3) Use una tierra para macetas bien mezclada y con buen drenaje. Plante a sólo 1/4″ de profundidad con tierra bien presionada sobre ellas. Use una botella rociadora para mantenerla húmeda pero no mojada. Evite regar en exceso, porque esto puede hacer que las semillas se pudran.4) Sella bien las macetas con un trozo de plástico. Esto promueve la retención de humedad de la tierra durante el proceso de germinación.5) Use un propagador calentado para mantener la tierra entre 64 y 70 grados F. Espere que las semillas germinen dentro de ocho a 12 semanas.6) Retire el panel de vidrio o la bolsa de plástico, tan pronto como se establezca la germinación. Coloque la maceta cerca de una ventana soleada, de modo que esté expuesta indirectamente a la luz solar.
