Afrocarpus gracilior - 10 seeds - African Fern Pine. This is an African podocarp species with attractive spiky foliage. Great for landscaping. Due to it being an African podocarp it would be badly affected by snowfall or areas with very heavy frosts. Similar to A. falcatus, one of the main differences is that the fruits ripen to yellow instead of green/blue. 

These did germinate for me but they did take a long time. Seeds planted in September didn’t germinate until February (Southern Hemisphere) so patience is required. Breaking through the seed coat would probably speed things up as they do have a thick hard seed coat. 

Seeds are large so they require a greater postage fee.


You have the option of sending via regular air mail or expedited shipping. If you need a tracking number, please choose the expedited shipping option even though it is more expensive, because if you opt for regular mail, I cannot provide tracking. 

If your address is in South America, Arabian Peninsula or Africa you MUST choose expedited shipping. Normal mail often does not seem to get to these destinations from New Zealand. 

Expedited shipping takes less than 1 week worldwide. Regular mail to the rest of the world (apart from the above geographical regions) often takes 4-6 weeks. Please do not complain if you haven't received your seeds after 2 weeks. If you live in Greece, or neighbouring countries please be aware that it is not unusual for regular mail from New Zealand to take 8 weeks to reach you.
