A large fan Palm, some info.

Fresh Seed removed from fruit, ( 3 seeds per fruit)

After a small haircut, and some more cleaning.

Going to try these in a Perlite bed until germination, and then into very tall containers :)
( When planting these the flat side of the seed faces up)

Kent in Kansas

and hot in summer (usually)
