Welcome to Cactus Island Nursery’s new plant catalogue. We have added some great new palms this month, including the Blonde Flamethrower Palm (Chambeyronia hookeri), the Wine Palm or Jelly Palm (Butia capitata) and Giant Windowpane Palm or Window Coconut Palm (Beccariophoenix Madagascariensis). Back in stock after many months of sourcing is Licuala grandis, the Ruffled Fan Palm. The Ruffled Fan Palm is one of my absolute favourite palms. It is small, dainty, and the whole leaves are stunning. It is a symbol of tropical palms! Many of our plants are currently marked as ‘out of stock’. We are having an early spring clean in the nursery, and are re-potting a lot of plants which were is 50mm tubes into 75mm to supply bigger, better plants when spring comes. It does mean however that those plants are currently not available.
The weather has been no less than perfect here, a little chilly at night but perfect during the day. We can get work done without breaking a sweat! One of our shade houses collapse when cyclone Hamish came past, and we’re working on getting the roof fixed up. Luckily it was one of the older shade houses, and it could probably do with a touch up anyway!
Many of our seeds are starting to germinate, including a brand new palm called ‘Dictyosperma album var. rubra’. Dictyosperma album rubra is also known as Red Hurricane Palm or Red Princess Palm. It is similar to the standard Dictyosperma album, but rubra has red veins and margins on the foliage, and new leaves can be as red as the new leaves on a Flamethrower Palm! We have not had this palm before and are looking forward to seeing how well it will grow here, and what they will look like once they get older. The red version is highly sought after and not often seen for sale, we are very excited to be able to offer these palms!
Yucca aloifolia and Yucca filamentosa are currently germinating, and so are a whole new batch of Strelitzia reginea and Strelitzia nicolai (Bird of Paradise & Giant Bird of Paradise). We hope to offer the Strelitzia’s at great bulk prices once all have come up, so keep an eye on this blog! Another plant which is completely new is Punica granatum, the ornamental Pomegranate. The Pomegranate’s are still germinating, we hope to offer them in summer.
Below is our list of stock, with the items in green being out of stock. I will work on making all the names clickable so it is easier to go straight to the shop if you’d like to purchase a plant, but for now going to our shop manually is the easiest way. Visit Online Nursery
