==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I'll be harvesting Wallichia densiflora, Coccothrinax argentata and Archontophoenix tuckeri within the next few weeks as of 10\01\10.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the upper right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.
I've put in a link to You Tube of footage shot of the varoius sprouted seabeans.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].
==THE NURSERIES==
[[ Image:Seedling1IMG 0329.JPG|thumb|350px|Seedlings fresh from Hawaii]]
[[ Image:Seedling2IMG 0330.JPG|thumb|350px|left|Floribunda never lets me down]]

[[ Image:Nur2IMG 0334.JPG|thumb|350px|left|Despite our terrible winter the nursery looks pretty good]]
[[ Image:Nur3IMG 0335.JPG|thumb|350px|We try to rotate in new seedlings every year]]
[[ Image:Nur4IMG 0336.JPG|thumb|350px|left|There's about a ten year age span for the container palms here]]
[[ Image:Nur5IMG 0337.JPG|thumb|350px|We just went through about four yards of soil in this years stepping]]
[[ Image:OraniopsisIMG 0328.JPG|thumb|350px|left|This Floribunda Oraniopsis was just $7.00 +S&H!]]
We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.
I've put in a link to You Tube of footage shot of the varoius sprouted seabeans.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I'll be harvesting Wallichia densiflora, Coccothrinax argentata and Archontophoenix alfredii within the next few weeks as of 10\01\10.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.
I've put in a link to You Tube of footage shot of the varoius sprouted seabeans.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

[[ Image:OraniopsisIMG 0328.JPG|thumb|350px|left|This Floribunda Oraniopsis was just $7.00 +S&H!]]
We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.
I've put in a link to You Tube of footage shot of the varoius sprouted seabeans.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.
I've put in a link to You Tube of footage shot of the varoius sprouted seabeans.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

[[ Image:OraniopsisIMG 0328.JPG|thumb|350px|left|This Floribunda Oraniopsis was just $7.00 +S&H!]]
We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].
==THE NURSERIES==

[[ Image:Nur3IMG 0335.JPG|thumb|350px|We try to rotate in new seedlings every year]]
[[ Image:Nur4IMG 0336.JPG|thumb|350px|left|There's about a ten year age span for the container palms here]]

[[ Image:OraniopsisIMG 0328.JPG|thumb|350px|left|This Floribunda Oraniopsis was just $7.00 +S&H!]]
We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

[[ Image:PuteriaIMG 0347.JPG|thumb|300px|Sprouting Mucuna or Dioclea next to Pouteria campechiana (not from the wrack) and Spondias sp.]]
There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2010, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

[[ Image:PuteriaIMG 0347.JPG|thumb|300px|Sprouting Mucuna or Dioclea next to Pouteria campechiana (not from the wrack) and Spondias sp.]]
There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.
Depsite the cold winter of 2009-2110, the seabeans sprouted in good numbers this past spring. I have about seven different vines in the yard. I hope they have time to flower and set seed this year.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

2010-08-14T18:29:05Z

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

2010-08-14T18:23:08Z

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

==VIEWS OF THE YARD==

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].
==THE NURSERIES==

[[ Image:OraniopsisIMG 0328.JPG|thumb|350px|left|This Floribunda Oraniopsis was just $7.00 +S&H!]]
We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

2010-08-14T18:16:42Z

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEABEAN SPROUTS */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

[[ Image:EntadaIMG 0046.JPG|thumb|300px|left|Entada gigas with cat for scale]]
There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

2010-05-04T20:55:16Z

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==

I've germinated all of the seeds I have. I'll update, when seeds starting coming available again.

==VIEWS OF THE YARD==

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

Dent Smith Trail, notes on a freeze.

Palmnerd_blocked_old:

="A follow up on Dent Smith trail"=
Last year I wrote a brief article on the Dent Smith trail. This botanical hideaway is located in Melbourne Florida, zone 9b. I was lauding praises on the microclimate situation in this location. The winter of 2009-2010 was a precedent setting cold weather event. The uniqueness of this winter revolves around the duration of the event rather than the overall low temperatures. This pictorial will help demonstrate the special nature of this unique and under appreciated jewel of the cultivated palm culture.

="A sour note on my expedition"=
As I was moving through the park, I came upon this poor Dypsis sp.. Dypsis lovers turn away now. I couldn't believe the deplorable treatment of this palm by whomever dug it out of it's location. This palm had been doing well in it's situation for years and someone for no obvious reason dug this poor palm up and left it to die in the fifteen gallon container. The roots were drying out and were cut too close to the base. I added Spanish moss to the tub and shook my head at the egregious disregard for this plant. Shame on whoever did this and if they are getting paid to "care" for the plants on the property, there is no palm god. I was disgusted and very tempted to just take the palm with me. I refrained and accepted the matter as a malfeasant display of ignorance on behalf of the person responsible.

[[Image:Chuniophoenix nana 4-07.jpg|thumb|California]]
==Habitat and Distribution==
==Description==
Tightly suckering palmate plant up to 5' tall (though usually shorter). Leaflets end in points and minimal fiber on stems. Somewhat resembles a Rhapis species. Stems about 1/4" inch in diameter and no spines. Very 'user-friendly' palm. [[User:Palmbob|Palmbob]] 17:34, 18 September 2007 (PDT)

==Culture==
Southern California experience:
THis is a very underused palm in southern California and remarkably cold tolerant and easy to grow. It is a pretty slow grower, and much faster in a tropical climate... but it is not an expensive palm and larger plants can be purchased from Hawaiian sources and shipped over. It is at least cold hardy to the mid 20s, and though it may nor rival Rhapis excelsa in cold hardiness, it is indeed close. This is a good palm for smaller areas- it will never outgrow an area, and it does prefer mostly filtered light... though along the coast or milder climates, it does seem to tolerate full sun for at least part of the day. Reportedly it performs tolerably as an indoor palm, but I have no experience with that. [[User:Palmbob|Palmbob]] 17:44, 18 September 2007 (PDT)

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* THE NURSERIES */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==
As of December 26th, 2009 I have the following seed in varying quantity to swap with others: Coccothrinax miraguama, dozens. Leucothrinax morrisii, dozens.
Syagrus vermicularis, Dozens and Thrinax radiata by the dozens.
Write me if you want to trade seed. Let me know what you have to offer.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds locally and from around south Florida as well.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

[[ Image:Nur5IMG 0337.JPG|thumb|350px|We just went through about four yards of soil in this years stepping]]
We source our seeds and plants from various locations. One thing I would like to say is that both Rare Palm Seeds and Floribunda are excellent sources for palms. I can't say enough good about both Tobias Spanner and Jeff Marcus when it comes to doing business with them. I have been buying from them for ten years or so and encourage anyone who's serious about building a collection, to use their services. I am not being prompted to write this and have nothing to gain. I just like to reward good business practices. I also source seeds from around south Florida as well.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* THE NURSERIES */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==
As of December 26th, 2009 I have the following seed in varying quantity to swap with others: Coccothrinax miraguama, dozens. Leucothrinax morrisii, dozens.
Syagrus vermicularis, Dozens and Thrinax radiata by the dozens.
Write me if you want to trade seed. Let me know what you have to offer.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* THE NURSERIES */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==
As of December 26th, 2009 I have the following seed in varying quantity to swap with others: Coccothrinax miraguama, dozens. Leucothrinax morrisii, dozens.
Syagrus vermicularis, Dozens and Thrinax radiata by the dozens.
Write me if you want to trade seed. Let me know what you have to offer.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

[[ Image:EntadaIMG 0046.JPG|thumb|300px|left|Entada gigas with cat for scale]]
There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms.

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==
As of December 26th, 2009 I have the following seed in varying quantity to swap with others: Coccothrinax miraguama, dozens. Leucothrinax morrisii, dozens.
Syagrus vermicularis, Dozens and Thrinax radiata by the dozens.
Write me if you want to trade seed. Let me know what you have to offer.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms.

PALMNERD'S PALMSPACE

Palmnerd_blocked_old: /* THE NURSERIES */

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==
As of December 26th, 2009 I have the following seed in varying quantity to swap with others: Coccothrinax miraguama, dozens. Leucothrinax morrisii, dozens.
Syagrus vermicularis, Dozens and Thrinax radiata by the dozens.
Write me if you want to trade seed. Let me know what you have to offer.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE YARD'''==
I think I have about eighty six species of palm crammed into my suburban lot here in Vero Beach. I am lucky to have a horticulturalist on two borders as a neighbor. He is of like mind and enjoys packing his yard with plants as much as I do. Some of the pictures from the area photos are of his collection. I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms.

==WELCOME TO PALMNERD'S YARD==
I am building a photo gallery of palms from my yard as well as palms in my town. We are on the cusp of zone 10. Most winters are mild enough to grow a lot of zone 10 palms. Every twenty or fifty years we get zapped and have to start over again. I also have seed on hand at most times of the year. Feel free to contact me to see what I might have around. I am open to swapping seeds.

==SEED AVAILABILITY UPDATE==
As of December 26th, 2009 I have the following seed in varying quantity to swap with others: Coccothrinax miraguama, dozens. Leucothrinax morrisii, dozens.
Syagrus vermicularis, Dozens and Thrinax radiata by the dozens.
Write me if you want to trade seed. Let me know what you have to offer.

I am still going to keep packing more palms in every spring to hedge against freezes and storm damage. I will have to eventually buy another house with a big lot to keep up with my obsessive collecting habit.

=='''PALMS FROM AROUND THE TREASURE COAST\VERO BEACH\SPACE COAST FLORIDA'''==
I am building this section to showcase some of the success stories for this area. Although we are a mere forty miles away from true zone ten, we as well as the rest of the Florida peninsula are not safe from the effects of freezing weather. Most of the subtropical palms growing in this area post date the Christmas freeze of 1989. We sustained temperatures of 28f. 23f. and 26f. on December 23, 24, 25, 1989. There were observations as low as 19f. in the area during that spell. Since then we have been fairly well off. The average winter lows rarely get below 29f. in an average winter. These photos might help to serve as a casual guideline for people looking to broaden their palm species list in costal Brevard, eastern Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. I have also included some photos of unusual forms of palms as well.

=='''CONTAINER PALMS'''==
My purpose for showing some of these photos is to demonstrate the effects of the treasure coast climate on some of the more tropical palms. The Euterpe has struggled in this area. I have seen successful plants living in the ground but it is not an easy task to get the plant to that stage. The Ravenea lakatra has shown to be stubborn as well. The Caryota ophiopelis did not fade as fast as the C. zebrina but is still having a tough go of it. The Tahina seems to be faring well, so far. The Loxococcus has been doing okay. One of Riffle's books shows a Florida grown L. rupicola but I am not sure what part of the state it is from. I don't entertain any delusion's that the Hydriatele beguinii (Formerly Siphokentia) could survive in this area, I have made the commitment to container raise this one. The Chamaedoreas have to be container grown here because of the nematodes.

==SEABEAN SPROUTS==
I have been sprouting various seeds that I have found washed up on the beach.

[[ Image:EntadaIMG 0046.JPG|thumb|300px|left|Entada gigas with cat for scale]]
There are several palm species that wash up on the local beaches. In the photo to the right you can see Nypa, Astrocaryum spp. Attalea spp. and Manicaria.

 

==FOR SALE OR TRADE==
If you live on the Treasure or Space coast and you want to swap some palms, or buy or sell some palms, write me and let me know. I've got a nursery full of palms growing on my friends farm down the road. I will post photos of the nursery in the spring if we don't have any big freezes this winter.

==CONTACT PALMNERD VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE==
To submit offers or requests for seed or plant exchange contact me and let me know what you have. I am seeking seed from Copernicia, Coccothrinax, rare Syagrus or anything else out of the realm of the most ordinary landscape palms. I am especially interested in hybrids, mutants or other unusual forms of palms. You can contact palmnerd through this site's private message feature [http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=176 HERE].
