We have not yet started to publish the new items for Spring – this will be done in a week or so – but the list is growing dramatically because we will add more palms and succulents than we expected.
So, below you will find new additions to the lists published a few weeks ago.
This is just a preview. Products are not yet available. Furthermore, there is not exactly a “new catalog” . We keep a dynamic website, so new products will be added little by little, since late March to mid June. As we did during the past few years the catalog will grow larger because we will add new plants but we will also keep about all the existing species in the website.
What will be new?
More than 100 new species will be added and all categories will substantially be increased! Read the list at the bottom of this post and you will find the new products for www.canarius.com : palms, cycads, bromeliads, fruit trees, aloes and lots of other succulent plants. These lists are not exact but they will give you a preview of what we wish to offer.
What else will happen?
The nurseries are increasing their stock of Agave, Bromeliads and Exotic Fruit Trees. Probably not in Spring, but by the end of 2011 you will see lots of new entries in these categories. Also our offer of foods is going to rise substantially.
Succulent plants will become very important in our shop. We increase dramatically our offer of aloes and we will create new categories for Crassulaceae and Mesembryanthemaceae.
Fruit trees will be also be offered soon in smaller sized pots. The trees we have sold so far are grown in tall, heavier pots and they are a bit too expensive to ship. Many of our customers requested smaller sizes for a cheaper shipment.
What about prices?
We cannot push the price down, but our stock of Palms and Cycads is growing larger and we will not rise the price. About all palms and cycads now offered in the website are already larger than stated (measurements refer to July 2010).
Also are trying to work smaller pot sizes in many plants in order to lower shipping costs.
Can I reserve items?
You cannot reserve an item which is not yet published in the catalog.
All the new plants will be available soon. Please come back and check.

A lovely video with pictures by Alexander Nijman and Asian music, published in Youtube by Innes54. The title is:
Himalayan Windmill Palms in the Wild
Trachycarpus is a genus of cold-hardy palms native to Asia. The video shows them in habitat in the steepest hills of the world. The beautiful pictures show two species: Trachycarpus fortunei and Trachycarpus takil.
The description in youtube says:
“Himalayan Windmill palms grow in a disconnected grove across the Himalayan orogeny in a transect of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Mekong and Chang rivers, on almost inaccessible slopes and ridges of four of the deepest, wildest canyons on earth. Some of the region remains unknown to the hands and feet of man. This is a rare look at some of these palms in the wild.
Music: Snow Wears Down the Mountain, scored for Indian and Chinese traditional instruments and string orchestra, based on two pentatonic scales. “
The shop at www.canarius.com offers more than 100 palm species, including these two trachycarpus species. Visit the PALM SECTION of our SHOP!

Aechmea triangularis grows very well in mediterranean climate and warm temperate climates. It is an attractive bromeliad with golden-green leaves and brow-black spines. It produces a long lasting inflorescence in late spring, with red bracts and blue flowers. Before blooming, tips of leaves fold back forming a triangle, enhanced by dark red markings. Grow it in bright sun conditions, with little or no fertilizer, to achieve more compact and colurful plants.

Aechmea triangularis can take low temperatures with little or no damage at -6 C (18 F) for several hours. About its cold tolerance, there is an interesting report written by Charlie Dill about different bromeliads surviving to -6 C (21 F) in California has texts and pictures of this species.

Please visit the Bromeliad Section of our Shop and check back often, because we offerent different bromeliads at different times of the year. We ship bromeliads to anywhere in Europe. Our bromeliads are already growing in many European countries, such as Spain, Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Germany. All bromeliads in catalogue are sold as bare-rooted “pups”, which are the robust basal suckers produced after blooming. Our pups are very easy to root – some will already show some roots when you open the box.

Mango is not a strictly tropical tree. It grows better in areas with Subtropical climate because it needs a cooler winter for good fruiting. Mango trees do grow and fruit in many areas of Europe with a Mediterranean Climate. Some varieties fruit better than others in cold climates.

Mango trees are also grown in the Southern Mediterranean, in Northern African countries and Israel.
Buy mango trees in Europe
In our internet shop you can purchase a wide selection of young mango trees of different varieties. They are all grafted on the cold-hardy rootstock Gomera-1. Canarius offers more than 20 varieties of grafted mango trees. We ship from the Canary Islands to your place the same grafted trees that are sold to local farmers , ready to go to the field: same plants, same size, same deep pots. The plants you purchase are at least 2 years old, because the root trees are grown for 1,5 years before grafting.
