Foxtail
Palm
This attractive small palm is
noted for its grey hour glass shaped trunks which are topped with soft green, feathery,
fishtail-like leaves with tips that appear jagged and torn. Although able to reach
40 feet in height, the Foxtail Palm is most often seen 15 to 30 feet in height with
a variable spread. The four foot long, branched flower stalks hang below the crownshaft
throughout the year and display large, orange fruits. These blooms give way to bright red,
showy sprays of 2-3 inch long fruits which ripen year round.
Fast becoming one of the most
popular landscaping palms in the tropics and sub-tropics. It is an extremely hardy palm,
being able to take full sun from a very early age, drought tolerant, wind tolerant, and
frost tolerant as well.
This spectacular palm was only discovered in the late 1970's and because of demand for
seeds and it being endemic to only a very small area there developed a flourishing black
market in its seed for several years. Even today, the Queensland Government still has the
palm on its endangered species list, even tho there are now tens of thousands of the palms
growing throughout the world, many of which are now fruiting.
This palm is
in high demand for landscaping in tropical and sub-tropical areas. It also makes a great
house plant for a sunny location.

Payment
We accept online
payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery
(COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING
RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are
NOT eligible for any discount.
We will ship once a
week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special
stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This
can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If
payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be
shipped the following week and lose the combined discount
opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative
feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON
LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis.
We will combine shipping
for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal
payment.
This policy is good
for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending
MONDAY.
We ship on Tuesdays.
Payment must be
received within 4 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 4-7 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 7+ winning
auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
As
each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay
the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the
same species in that item it does calculate out the discount
(i.e.: additional items)
My stores' combined
shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied
selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification
and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for
prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you
want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount
much as each different species requires it's own prep,
packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected
then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every
last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on
the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3
days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day
we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours),
then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes
the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

your Items. |
LIVE
PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason
uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care
for it. Please have potting media and a container prepared
for your plant before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful
on a plant, and any mistakes that you make upon arrival can
stress the plant further, which is not good. Proper care is
critical upon arrival. It is your responsibility to know how
to care for the plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE
CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Not every plant that I
order through the mail survives, and I am aware of that and
accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as
the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind
of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My
responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your
door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Please Do NOT email me
a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived
damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all
warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All
photos must be as arrived in original condition as received
(in the box and packed as delivered).
If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the
plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE
CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
From delivery
confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery
confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be
supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as
packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials
and any documents. I am very reasonable and understanding,
anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it
to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I
try to piggy back with your next order.
Replacement is not
an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE
SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees
are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling.
Please do not leave a 1
or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any
reason really because I will block you from any further
purchases.
Please
contact me before eBay if you have any issue. I am the one
who can help you. Do not open cases for any reason really
because I will block you from any further purchases.
I ship items the best
and least expensive option. These are coming from Hawaii.
The only thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I
do ship all my items promptly via best method--if you feel
like the combined shipping fee is wrong, please wait to be
invoiced and check back with me! I value your business and
will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Rare Palm
Seeds
Fresh Highest
Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity
advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or
damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's
expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All
other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be
made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related
grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type
of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed
controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period.
Germination is affected by such factors as temperature,
moisture content, light intensity and contamination of
planting media. These factors are totally out of the
seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally
guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions
or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
