...very difficult to germinate and need more than 1 year to sprout.
This one surely teaches us a good lesson on never giving up on certain palm seeds...10 Seeds received from RPS in May 2002, 4 just started sprouting as of the 23rd August 2004!

...very difficult to germinate and need more than 1 year to sprout.
Fresh seeds collected in Manaus, Brazil in March of 2002 and planted promptly upon return still have not sprouted as of 5/7/03. I know another plant collector who has tried several times to sprout seeds, so far without success.
