Congrats Dean,
I have quite a few seedlings myself. They are growing at a fairly good rate even though they spent the winter outside. A very hardy palm for zone 8 and up.

Hey Steve,

I'm also working on sprouting Arenga engleri, Butia Capitata, Butia X Syagrus, and Musa veluntina.

I have the following seeds I need to work on:
Chamaerops humilis 'Naples'
Chamaerops X Vulcano
Phoenix canariensis
Phoenix datylifera 'Barhee'
Phoenix datylifera 'Medjool'
Phoenix reclinata
Rhapis subtilis - had problems w/ mold
Sabal causaria
Sabal palmetto
Trachycarpus fortunei - had problems w/ mold
Washingtonia filifera

The problem is finding room for all of these I need to get some more pots too.

Dean,
A nice selection! ( Thank You for the Chamaerops seed you sent, they are happily growing away 8)
Maybe try some of your local nurseries or landscapers to see if they have any used containers?
(I need to find some more too)
