Re: New RPS order: 2014
Good luck with that I had 50 of them not a single one sprouted. I got mine from ebay. Perhaps they were old... I waited months for them to sprout. nada...canadianplant wrote:Item: Musa velutina

Banana seeds: If you have a heat mat put it on a timer so that it goes off at night. The fluctuation in temperature seems to be the key with stubborn bana seeds.

That's quite the order, Jesse.
Archontophoenix are gorgeous palms.
Exceptionally beautiful ringed trunks.
Thanks for remembering that my L.grandis croaked.

Youre right paul. Mine did best outside in the summer. The temps are something like 90F during the day and 75-80F at night as a general rule. The best thing is make sure theyre fresh
Barb ive been waiting for the C microspadix for the last year. They werent available for a long time. Well see my luck on the L grandis

Jesse, and I was going to send you some seeds of the Bamboo Palm.
But I didn't do the "brush" thingy, so doubt they would've been viable.
One year will get around to that...

I have a fridge full of seeds. Hickory, hosta, magnolias, fringe tree...... Havnt done a real good palm order in a while. Moso should do pretty well in mass. I know a guy who grows it near roschester new york, near the south shore of lake erie. Gets burned a bit in the winter but I dont think its had any major top kill. Just protect it for the first winter or two. Bend it down and use U shaped stakes to hold t down. Snow should do the rest. IF not just toss some leaves on. Moso is pretty hardy once it gets some size.
Barb, thats just my usual luck for seeds. I should take em outta the bag and soak test them again to see whats up. I have a bag of dypsis albofarinosa that have been taking forever too, but some dypsis species can take a bit.... Just more of what im used to when it comes to palm and banana seed lol.

Yeah, some are very very slow germinators.
Bamboo palm isn't one of them.
Good luck popping your new stuff.
