I took pics of my "herd" of palm seedlings today. I have Sabal minor, needle, and Trachycarpus Fortunei seedlings.

Bryce,

sorry I missed this post.

Fabulous job germinating those seeds!

Good color, very healthy looking.
Congrats.

Barb

Great pics, Bryce! Now it will be a competition to see which species grows the fastest!

Thanks Barb and Cameron, so far it appears that the needle palms have to be the slowest growers and they take forever to germinate, like it took them 7 months I planted the seeds in Feb and they germinated in August. The Sabal minors were super fast to germinate took only 3 weeks and the Trachycarpus took a little longer than that.

Sounds like you've got the germinating trick all figured out.
Well done.

I've heard needles are slow.
7 months...wow.
