I'm off to Calcutta for a week this Saturday which means I get to clean up the fruiting mess that our caryota urens has been making for the last few weeks. If anyone wants any caryota seed, let me know; I've already sent out heaps so I wouldn't normally bring back any (more so in this humid weather) but if you have a caryota fetish that can't wait, let me know and assuming the infructescence has not been cut down, I will collect some for you.

I wonder whether any of the seed that I have sent to PT members germinated? It's been two months, so results should be clear.

Oh yes - to Gregorio. It is good to hear that - although that is still only a 15-20% success rate ? I feel ashamed now for having doubted its fertility.

Kumar,
4 Caryota seeds have germinated so far .... also 3 of the Royal seeds . The royals seem to be growing quick. The fronds/ 1st leaves have almost opened.

Glad to hear that. For some reason, i'm having acute difficulty germinating my own caryota seeds whereas the ones that fall to the ground do so effortlessly ! The royals are indeed very fast. I will photograph two volunteers from my garden tomorrow.
