... are easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
My method was the same just like other palms, put in warm water for 3 days and then sown in containers, I prepared a mixture of sand-perlite-peat moss and then I put them in my greenhouse, filtered sun is needed..

November in Rijeka, Croatia (zone 9) is not the best time for germination so I made a germination box from an old commode by placing a lightbulb inside for the 6 species I had, but Trachycarpus Latisectus needs only about 23 C so it was outside the box on top. Seeds were soaked for 4 days prior and put in sphagnum soil/sand 1/1 mix inside plastic boxes and kept moist. First sprouts came after 3 weeks.

I got seed off ground in Stockton Park and went back home to grow some of these seed, first I germinated them in a zip lock bag. For 3 week root showed about 8 cm long. I moved them to a 3 gallon pot. Nice palm.

I soaked 10 seeds i the water for two days and placed them in a good mixture in my greenhouse, at 18-28°C.
8 weeks laters 9 seeds are germinated. Good freshness!

Germinates very quickly at room temperature. Do not clean the seeds very hard. Seeds with soft embryo cap are
usually not viable.

Seeds were soaked in water for 2 days at room temperature.Place in zip lock bag with 1/3 sans 1/3 peat and 1/3
perlite. just keep moist and treat with anti fungus.first germination appear after 2 month.be carefull with
the taproot wich is very long and fragile.If fresh seeds results can reach 90 %.

Soaked seeds for 12 hours in water and then placed them in plastic zip lock bags with sterilized peat moss-removed
air from bags as good as possible. Left them at room temperature(72F) on shelf and in twelve days half of them
had sprouted. Note: Seeds that I treated with various fungicides and treated as above failed to germinate.

a pleasure to germinate. had over 90%germination. actually started in flats in june in the southeast u.s., but
after germination, seedlings do not appear to grow at all until the next year. then the typical growth pattern
of trachycarpus takes over. growth vastly excelerates thereafter.

Just put the seeds in moist soil at about 30 degrees C. That's all !

90% of my seeds bought here sent out roots within 2 months. I placed about 100 seeds in a bag of moist perlite
50% and vermiculite 50% and put them in a cool cupboard at room temperature. They sent out their first spears
at the same time as some T. fortuneis which were sown two weeks before them. The T. latisectus seedlings seem
more vigourous than the T. fortuneis. Both species were planted into 17cm deep pots and placed under a 600 watt
HID light.

This palm germinates well at temperatures around 20C. This species
and T. martianus have a substantial taproot and must be handled
carefully when transplanting. However T. latisectus seedlings are,
in my experience, easier and more vigorous than T. martianus.
