Great new pics!
You're almost ready to prune that Bottle Palm trunk... 😆 😆

Congrats Cameron on how your project is taking off.
You must see seedlings in your sleep!

I just looked at the soaking Copernicia alba seeds...they're starting to pop 😯 😯

My basement is full of seeds/seedlings and the 1+ year old Foxtails.
Can hardly move around any more.
I can only imagine what your Plant Room looks like, Cameron! 😛

Good job with the Copernica!

Also, I sanded some Albizia julibrissin seeds and threw them onto some soil. I noticed germination beginning in less than 24 hours!

And you with the Albizia, too, Cameron!

Hadn't finished cleaning the pulp off these, no sandpapering needed for these fresh seeds:
Stuff's happenin' so fast before I could get a photo, here:

Nice work! How long were they soaking for?

Two maybe three days...I didn't even enter it in my record, it was so quick.

It sure pays to be a Central Florida Palm and Cycad Society member, Palmateer magazine quarterly plus getting their seed offers by email.
Prices are cheap, think I spent $10 total for Bizzie and Copernicia seeds (shipping was more)

And Linda emailed me that she and another woman "had just picked them ourselves a couple of days ago" when I enquired if the seeds I was ordering were from the most recent seed set.

...still wish they were C.hospita seeds though 😥

Heres my trachy seedlings, and washy. The best pics i could get. The Trachy seedlings are an inch and a half tall, they grew an inch in 2 weeks since they get some light.

Well done Jesse!

Good job, Canadianplant!

It seems as if most of the sabals have decided to break the surface at the same time. Within the past couple of days, Sabal minor, Sabal minor var. Cape Hatteras, Sabal minor var. Louisiana, Sabal minor var. Louisiana (from Tennessee), and Sabal minor var. McCurtain have all emerged! The only one I'm still waiting for is Sabal etonia, and someone who received seeds from the same batch as mine said that it took them around 5 months to germinate!

Sabals will certainly be welcome in Canada!

Nice work Cameron.

I think this is the best place to ask this..

Whens the best time to trasplant palms, that are grown using the baggie method? Usualy for trees and other things, its 2 true leaves..

I've always heard two leaves, but the risk of fungus in a baggie is so high that I'd be willing to do it at 1 leaf...gently with warm water.

RV friends got home and gave me Phoenix seeds.
Unfortunately they're all duds, probably why they were laying on the ground.
Damn.

But they brought home these mystery seeds too.
Looks like coffee 😉

Canadianplant, 1 leaf or 2 leaves. Just don't do it before 1 leaf 😆

Barb, those seeds in the 2nd shot might be Phoenix too. I've had some really short and fat Phoenix seeds that looked like those. I think they were the ones I picked up in Egypt.

That's encouraging that the second ones might be Phoenix too.
Thanks Cameron!

Things are moving around here...
Liatris Spicata Blazing Star came up in two days!

Here's what it looks like:

And Hyacinth Bean (grows 14feet in a season!) two days also.
Latin name is Dolichos lablab:

Great work!

The first B. eriospatha are starting to pop up now.
