Tax included.

Please find for sale 2 freshly imported Dioon Spinulosa seeds - better known as the Gum Palm or Giant Dioon. In my opinion, this stunning architectural palm is level pegging with the Bismarckia Nobils at the top of the palm charts!

Alas these are expensive seeds due to their rarity and the cost of postage - they have to be sent at parcel prices due to their size. They are relatively easy to germinate and easy to grow, and pretty tolerant of neglect. This palm can handle an air frost, but in the UK is best as a spectacularly exotic feature plant in the conservatory, atrium or greenhouse.

 


PLEASE NOTE: All orders received before 8pm (Mon-Fri) will be dispatched same day

Germination Guide

  • Lightly scarify the side of the seed with a nail file or similar
  • Soak the seeds for about 48 hours in warm water.
  • Keep the water warm by using a heat mat or placing in airing cupboard
  • Change the water after 24 hours
  • Prepare a pot of quality seed compost - moist but not wet
  • Place the seeds sideways and level on the surface of the compost and press lightly to fix in place
  • Pot can be covered but plenty of air holes needs to prevent mould
  • Humidify the soil but do not over water to prevent mould.
  • Place on heat mat at 25-35°C
  • Germination can be quick...but not always and patience may be needed
  • Once germinated and its root is plunging down, transplant to a pot at least 18cm deep.
  • Do not add fertiliser to freshly transplanted seedlings.
