Looking for any type of sabal seeds, preferably s. minor from a Northern Climate.

I would be interested in a trade for some of your T. fortunei seeds. I was about to collect some from a local source, but when I got there they had been taken!
I have 13 S. minor, and 25 S.mexicana. The S.mexicana is from texas so it is cold hardy, I have no idea where the S.minor is from.
Let me know if you want to trade.

Wes-

I have quite a few sabal Palmetto (tree form) seeds harvested last month from central Florida. I can validate the quality since I'm seeing 30-40% germination since sowing them January 1st.

I'd be interested in getting some of your T. Fortunei seeds. Let me know. Thanks.

Jay-

I'll take some. Send me your address at (dingrassia@wi.rr.com), I'll do the same. If you have more than you need, we'll trade 1-1. If not, I'll give you two for one of the Fortunei. I've got about 16. Remember, these are sabal Palmetto, not sabal minor, and they're from central Florida, just north of Orlando. Thanks. :)

Wes , I have 2004 November harvest of Texas Eco-Type Sable Minor Palm.
also Sable Minor Var,Louisiana . ( these are also known as blue dwarf palmettoes and grow fast in cold areas.
These have matured and seeded very quickly in my cold z6/7 area of Tennessee Appalachian Mtns.
Write if you want to swap (z7palms@yahoooooooo.com) yahoo spelled incorrectly .

Hi z7palms :)
How long did it take your sable lou. to reach seeding size? I have been growng sables from seed and they are very slow to grow out west here.

hey DesertZone

Im sure they would be slow here also . thats why we plant seedlings or 3 to 7 gallon speciemens.
The Eco-Type Texan came from DOn of OKC about 3 years ago...1 gallon potted plant about 2 years old when he sent it. It seeded last year also.
The Louisiana Minors came from Gerrys Jungle back in 2000 and its seeded for the past 3 years/. Im finding they grow faster ( as needles do here )
than many people report , then again it could be my climate.
We only have a z6 or z7 low once or twice a winter , most other lows are z8 or better. That must help some to see them grow faster than I thought they could.

Z7palms, I just sent you an e-mail.
Kyle,
Did you ever get the trachy seeds I sent you?

Got the seeds!

Yes I got them thank you very much! They look very fresh, and I'll keep them labeled as Vancover T.fortunei.
It kind of surprises me that the make it into the U.S. so easy. It seems like things are getting more and more uptight down here(federally uptight)

Let me know when they germinate.
I too am suprised how easy it is to get seeds across the border but it is done numerous times a day. It is a different matter when you try plant material. :occasion9:
