I found a partially germinated Attelea cohune seed in my luggage as I unpacked. I sprayed it with fungicide, then set it on potting soil in a clay pot. Placed that over a plastic tray, watered. I have it on the fireplace mantle now to stay warm.
Photo as I potted it, with a US quarter for size:

Will do.
The cohune palm is one of my favorites. Very neat: http://www.floridata.com/ref/a/atta_coh.cfm
Will obviously always live in a pot in Oklahoma, but if I ever move to Texas I'd try it in the ground, protected if in Dallas but should be OK in Houston except in rare cold events.

How exciting, Erik!
Can't wait to see what a young Attalea looks like.
Because soon afterward = 17 foot long fronds.
Please photograph all the stages...

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
