Seeds from this species ......very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to
sprout.
I purchased two seeds (as Orbignya martiana) from ***** in Miami about ten years ago.The seeds were planted
in two-gallon containers of gravel mixed half-and-half with mulsh from our "green-waste" facility.
Both seeds germinated in a few weeks (I didn't record how soon; it was not too long). One produced two individual
seedlings.I planted one in the clayey fill behind my home and it thrived. Today the tops of the fronds reach
well above the top of my 24-ft tall house. I'm ashamed to admit that I neglected the other two seedlings and
allowed them to die. ;-(I have some nice pictures of the palm if anyone would like me to e-mail them to you.
