Maccario I grew them all from seed. They really are the easiest palms I have grown. Three of them will be planted soon.I`ll post pics when they are.Kansas grow some from seed and save some cash.

Great collection of palms.
Did you grow most of them from seed?

If any of you are interested in Washingtonia filifera seeds I have thousands of fresh seed with germination time less then one week. Send me a PM and we can work out a trade!

I also have germinated seedlings that are pushing up there second strap leaf.

Cheers, Ryan

Wes I have grown most of the smaller palms from seed that are in the pics.Problem is if they all get as big as my washys I`ll be building a huge greenhouse very soon!!!

Jay how are those Washy`s doing that you have? Transplanted yet?

Palmetto I`m looking forward to seeing your palms in the ground as well. Barb yes of course the vehicles were left out of the garage all winter; palms are much more important
