I will be selling a lot of cold hardy palms this year as I have been traded a bunch for some of our palms. I noticed you had been asking about landscaping in another threa...

Piru queen palm

In my opinion it is just some shady marketing. Piru queen palm is a regular Syagrus. I believe they get there stock from Moon Valley Nurseries slapped the name Piru on it because that is the little town in which they grow it. They claim it is from Argentine decent.

Germinating time.

Typically it takes 3 to 6 months. When the first wave of seedlings come we pull them all and replant all the remaining seeds that have not germinated. Then the seeds usually go dormant during the winter as we turn off our heated beds. Then we get a second wave the next spring. We continue this proce...
