I took pics of my "herd" of palm seedlings today. I have Sabal minor, needle, and Trachycarpus Fortunei seedlings.

Bryce,
sorry I missed this post.
Fabulous job germinating those seeds! 😀
Good color, very healthy looking.
Congrats.

Great pics, Bryce! Now it will be a competition to see which species grows the fastest! 😆

Thanks Barb and Cameron, so far it appears that the needle palms have to be the slowest growers and they take forever to germinate, like it took them 7 months I planted the seeds in Feb and they germinated in August. The Sabal minors were super fast to germinate took only 3 weeks and the Trachycarpus took a little longer than that.

Sounds like you've got the germinating trick all figured out.
Well done.
I've heard needles are slow.
7 months...wow.
