Steve you should be able to control their growth by keeping them root bound for as long as possible. I have wanted to try these so would like to see how you do with them.Keep us posted. How did those W. robusta seeds work out for you I sent?
John

John - Thanks for the advice, will try to get a feel for how sensitive the roots are too.
( Will probably be getting some more of these in & will send some your way when it warms up a little )

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The W.robusta have been quick to germinate & fast growing. Germination started betwee 1-2 weeks and the rest are still catching up. Should be close to 100% when all is done.

Here's a couple W.robusta on their way.

OK, THIS IS REDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The seeds OK sent me, i had 100% success with, but the tallest mine are is the littler than that smaller one on Steve's. Steve you are amazing.
Thanks again for the seeds OK.

That is one HUGE palm! If I lived in a tropical climate I would definitely want one of those.

Thanks Steve some of those seeds would be cool. Wes glad you had all of your seeds germinate. They should take off this summer.
John

First germination after a 3 day soak and 3-4 weeks at a constant 30C
( John - couple out of this batch are on their way)

Steve thanks so much for a couple of those Talipot palm seeds 😀 It should be interesting to compare notes on their progress.
John

John - Noticed another one had germinated today, Hope you are having some luck with yours!
( and hopefully they didn't end up in the back room at customs 😐

First one is potted up in a 1 gallon and waiting for some top growth.......

Steve

Steve I got your seeds on Tuesday. Looks like a couple are starting to germinate. I`ll let you know how they do.Thanks again.
