Maccario I grew them all from seed. They really are the easiest palms I have grown. Three of them will be planted soon.I`ll post pics when they are.Kansas grow some from seed and save some cash.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

If any of you are interested in Washingtonia filifera seeds I have thousands of fresh seed with germination time less then one week. Send me a PM and we can work out a trade! 🙂
I also have germinated seedlings that are pushing up there second strap leaf.
Cheers, Ryan 😀

Palmetto I`m looking forward to seeing your palms in the ground as well. Barb yes of course the vehicles were left out of the garage all winter; palms are much more important 😆
