Depending on the type of Sabal, usually when they are black and start to fall off on their own. Mother natures way of propagating.

I've never done research on this but I too wait until they turn dark. Would be fun to find out if germination success differes between early/green and late/dark. 'Cause, if you wait too long the birds get them. 😆

Sabal Minor and Brazoria Palmetto.

May I suggest YOU do the experiment? Green/early vs. late/black? Both species? 100 seeds condition? I can help with the stats.

Ok... I wounder if I still have some Heat lamps and seed soil for the seeds? Green seeds poted at 1:35PM Sep 7.

Awesome!
As a scientist, do the same for these and the black ones you harvest later.

Personally, Sabal are pretty easy. But, warm is good. Just keep it the same warm for these as for the ones you get later.

Send me some in the envelope ninja, i have t. fortunei seeds for trade.. 😆

I usually pull the seeds off when they are black and stick them in the ground next to the house. They seem to find a way to germinate themselves as I have sabal minors popping up like weeds.
