Kyle I just sent you an e-mail updating your seeds.

Cheers

I have sent you an e-mail.
By the way 99 is my favourite #

Looking for any type of sabal seeds, preferably s. minor from a Northern Climate.
I can trade for fresh t. fortunei seeds right off my palm. They are just turning ripe now.

Received seeds in Mid November 2004

I have had 8 out of 40 seeds germinate so far. I just transplanted one into a one gallon pot a couple of days ago and it seems to be doing well. They grow very quickly and the one in the pic is already 6"+

Thanks for the seeds. I received them today and I have them soaking right now. I will soak them again tomorrow but add 10% bleach then plant them in 50% vermiculite and 50% perlite in a baggie.
I owe you!!!
I should have some meyer lemon seeds shortly out of some of my lemons, are you interested?

I will e-mail you my address. Do you want any fortunei seeds?

All I have right now is fresh T. fortunei seeds right off my palm.
Have you got any butia seeds left or maybe some yucca seeds to trade.
Of course if you are interested.

Jay,
Webshots does not let you post pics from their site.
I use freepichosting.com

I know it is my favourite Christmas tree.
You have a Merry Christmas also.

Cheers

Have a Merry Christmas also. I will be up your way in February, I'll try to meet up with you.

This is a palm in my front yard located in North Vancouver BC Canada

I have grown successfully for years meyer lemons. I just picked one tonight and squeezed some of the juice on my barbqued salmon. They are hardy to about 15F but the fruit is destroyed at 24 to 28F, When I do get cold I just throw a comforter over top of it for protection from the frost, otherwise i...

I don't know about zone 7 or colder but it is growing here in a wet zone 8. This is a very hardy palm once it gets some size to it. It is a very slow growing species but could do better in a hot dry climate. I am sure with protection in the winter and hot summers it could survive a normal zone 7 win...

What climate zone are you in? Is there any trachies growing in Kelowna?
I sometimes work out of our Kelowna branch and would like to see some palms up there.

Cheers

I just bought 20 seeds form rarepalmseeds.com
If they take I will be in a position to sell some. I will keep you posted.

Cheers

Jay,
I work for an electrical wholesaler and we sell them. I am checking into what type would work best. I am not sure what to get yet so I am going to talk to one of my suppliers and get him to figure it out for me. When I hear back from him I will let you know.

Cheers,

I am undecided as to what trachycarpus I like better, fortunei or wagnerianus. I think I like waggies better when they are young especially when they have the curved fronds but I think a fortunei looks better as a mature palm. I am curious about your opinions.

Has anyone had any experience with germinating seeds from this palm. If so I would welcome any advice.

I haven't forgot about sending you some t. fortunei seeds. I am waiting till Feb for them to ripen. I would really like to get s. minor seeds from you though.
e -mail me at woliver09@yahoo.ca so we can make arrangements.

Cheers

When my trachycarpus seeds have ripened around February I would be willing to exchange some of these for some sabal minor seeds.

http://community.webshots.com/s/image15/0/84/43/165908443FlJjrf_ph.jpg I pulled the centre spear out in April. I thought this palm had bit the dust but it has now produced six new fronds. My low this year was 15.3F or -9.3C. I just stayed above the low level of zone 8b. This was the coldest year th...

Sure I would be willing to trade. E-mail me with your address and I will send you some. How many?

Cheers

I forgot to mention that as far as germination is concerned s. minor is the winner hands down. I have germinated sabal seeds and they are one of the easiest to do. R. hystrix I hear is a long process. I am also looking for some s. minor seeds. I would be willing to trade t. fortunei seeds for s. min...

Dr. Franko of the University of Miami in Ohio has done a study on some of the most cold hardy palms. His experiments definetly proved that r. hystrix was indeed more cold hardy than s. minor. S. Minor died when exposed to -15F. They suffered 4% frond damage at +10F. Above that temperature they suffe...

Found your message board today. Hope more people find out about it! I am a member of the PNW Palm and exotic plant society. I have numerous palms that I am experimenting with here in a zone 8b climate. Up until last year we had experienced zone 9a or 9b winters but we had three cold nights in early ...
