2 cyathea australis looking for new homes

by geofiz » 6 hours ago in Pacific Northwest

I have a couple of extra cyathea australis I started from spore back in 2009. The spore originated at higher altitudes in Tasmania; the individual who collected the
spore said that these ferns would likely see lows of -6 to -7 C every winter in
habitat. I am looking to pass each on to a good home. Trades would be welcome but not absolutely necessary. Please send me a PM if you are interested - Michael B

by badman62 » 15 hours ago in Vegetables and Herbs

I have about 50 pepper plants.

what do you think is the best way to save them
without making something complicated ?
its a mix of all kinds.
jalapeno's. Anaheim, Serrano, bell, etc...
Can i just chop them and put them in a zip-lock in the freezer ?
that way i can keep them in at least 2-3 separate bags

A Newbie Aussie - Mike T

by Mike T » 1 day ago in Introductions

I live in Cairns Queensland and work in environmental management being a 'biologist' originally.I have posted thousands of times on other plant forums. My interests are broad but tropical fruits and vegies are of particular interest. I have about 100 fruit species growing in my yard and many herbs and vegies as well. Luckily I have access to many hundreds of elite species and varieties, as well as rarities of high quality and have traded seeds and budwood with people all over the world.

Still struggling with how to function in the forum and unable to post pc pix, I may be just an occasional visitor in the future.
Cheers
Mike T

Coconut vs. Bolivian Mountain Coconut

by AaronJ » 1 day ago in Pacific Northwest

Totally pointless post but just a bit of fun. Just wanted to share what I find to be quite a resemblance of parajubea torallyi to cocos nucifera even at an early similar age. You can sure see how they get their nicknames. Love the parajubea really nice looking palms!!
