Trachycarpus takil

I bought some seed off of ebay from a dealer that gets 100 percent ratings and has them listed as real, so hopefully they are the real thing. Do they grow faster or slower than Trachycarpus fortunei? I have some fortunei sprouting but then I noticed the takil so I will try them both.

They are slower and difficult to germinate and keep going

Welcome aboard.
Where are you located?

Looking forward to seeing some photos when the Takils sprout.

Thanks janci, it's Siege2050 who has the Takil seeds.

I'm not starting any seeds this winter.
