Licuala spinosa
Probably the best of the Licualas in terms of cold hardiness, being able to withstand several degrees of frost.

Seed,

Leaves 3 feet wide! Likes poorly drained areas and full sun!
Several degrees of frost!
Very unusual looking, nice.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Sounds almost too good to be true, hopefully these won't take a year to germinate 😀

Steve,
an OVERNIGHT soak? 😯
...the benefits of fresh seed and a propagator!
Well done

Steve great they germinated that fast for you. I tried two different batches of seeds from two different seed companies and got zilch. The seeds must have been old. Show some photos as to how they progress.
