Collect seed from a tree in the San Francisco ZooIt, easy to germinate just like the Date palm. Grow them in zip lock bag with a wet paper towel. Then roll the wet towel with seed in it, then place it in a bag. For 5 week the root have shown

I put 22 seeds I have collected at the botanical garden "Marimurtra", Costa Brave, Spain; in a great
mixture (without soaking) in my greenhouse at 20-27°C. After two months, 21 are germinated.

Very easy to grow. This species loves warm soil, because within a month of planting 10 seeds, all ten of seeds
sprouted.

Seeds taken from ripe fruit of this species in coastal South Africa were directly sown in garden soil at room
temperature. Almost all germinated within 3 weeks. Once the divided leaves appear, this palm can be pretty fast
growing.

Placed cleaned seed in a 1 gallon freezer bag on top of moist spagnum moss. Put bag on a heating pad with two
towels on top of it to regulate heat, pad set on low. The seeds began to germinate within two weeks and kept
germinating over several months. Sprouts appeared about 1-1 1/2 months after germination.

Seeds were germinated using the bag method with sphagnum peat. Seven out of ten seeds germinated three years
ago. Then I changed residence and left the seedlings with a friend. Amazingly, the seedlings flourished with
absolutely no care for three years, surviving 90+ degree heat and 25 degree freeze (9B). I recently obtained
the plants (in their original quart containers) and planted them in the ground. They measure 24-28 inches and
I plan to watch them grow more swiftly now that they are free of their containers.

These seeds are unbelievably easy to germinate. They were thrown in a ziplock bag with a 50/50 mix of moist
perlite and sphagnum moss, and kept at room temperature. Germination began within 2 weeks (100%). 6 weeks later
the fronds are almost 2 inches tall! Of the 12 or so species purchased (and most with an "easy" germination
rating by the way,) these were far and away the most simple and rapid.

Very easy to grow. I used bottom heat, and had a very high success and survival rate.
