Nine new seedlings

Post by Mark » Sun Apr 11, 2010 7:00 pm

Couple months ago my friend brought me these palm seeds back from a Cruise in the caribbean. I'm not sure what they are but 9 out of 15 sprouted within two weeks.

Here's pics of them today. They're really starting to take off.

That could very well be. Those seed look the exactly the same. I think you may have ID them. I was hoping someone may be able to tell what they were. I do love the Christmas palms. Thanks Wax! Are those your seedlings? Old Pic or recent?

Hope they grow fast.

There's many palms a that stage of development that appear similar.
One I have is Archontophoenix alexandrae (King palm).
Do you have a photo of the parent palm? That would help solve the mystery.

Cheers, Barrie.

No, I found that pic online. But I have a Christmas palm seedling that's just starting to get pinnate leaves. I remember the forked leaves clearly early in its life.

Barrie,

One of the palms in this Pic I believe. My friend said they had red on them and they were picked up in front of the hotel. (I think to the left).
