These are nice looking Palms when well grown, some more info; http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Caryota/mitis.html
Received fresh seed several weeks back, ( Thank you Dave!
After a 2 day soak, and a week or two at 90*F
More on the way,

Dave,
The difference fresh seed can make
One thing I have been trying is heated soaks to break dormancy/initiate germination.
As an example, with seeds that are primarily dispersed by Avian vector, they will get a 38C soak for 12 - 18 hours.
There is probably too many variables to say if this is effective, but I have noticed germination times dropping.

Hi Dean,
Once the first leaves are opened, I'll send some your way!

Dean,
With high temps above 85*, they stay on the moist side. Below that, I start letting the top 1" of soil dry out a bit between watering's.

Here is one found at Lowes about 1 1/2 years ago.
Was marked as tropical foliage in a .5 gallon container, forgot about it until I was rearranging the GH.
