Hi I'm looking for a few Silver Bismark's. Either seedlings or up to 3 gal.

Would they be hardy in your area?
If so you are lucky

I have three potted that i am waiting for the first leaf to push. I can send you a germinated seed or you can wait until they push up a strap leaf. Shoot me an email if you want one.

Wes, yes they are. There are some nice one's here in Charleston. Bismark are much hardier than reported to be.
Mike & Craig, let me know !

For anyone interested, check the forums for the recent freeze in CA. None of the Bismark's were harmed.

Checked the Bismarks today. After 3 months in a Tall tree pot, they are still sending their roots out with no sign of the first strap leaf. I will send you one out as soon as I get a decent strap leaf.

I recall these being root sensitive and wonder if shipping from California would be a challenge for them?
Cheers, Barrie.

Barrie they are very root sensitive. The site says they ship bare root which is my concern. I emailed them to see if these are shipped in the container or not. Will let you know when I get a response.

Hmmm.... Here's the response I got...

<<this is George from Cycads-n-Palms.com
At this time we are not shipping but will resume in a few weeks.
We ship the Bizmarckias bare-rooted all the time with no problems.
Last season we shipped about 4500 SizeA plants,2000 1gallon plants and 500 5gallon plants - we do not ship 15 gallon plants.
We can ship in the pots which makes them very expensive.>>
