Palm seeds

[Grasswing]

Hello friends,

I want start a new topic about palm seeds photos. It may help other members with identification of unknown seeds.

I would be pleased If you would share some of your photos and tips for germinating these seeds.

Thanks and regards

Andrew

More!

The only improvement I could ask for is a millimeter scale in photo. (my inner scientist insists)

Also, I dig the with fruit flesh/without photo.

Thank you for tips, unfortunately some seeds I buy without flesh.

Very good pics! Actually it's as interesting as pics of the seedlings,

Does you Licuala grandis has the flesh around the seed? (fresh, the fruit is red)

Do you know that some are eating the Licuala grandis in Sri Lanka?

Will you post the pics of the seedlings? for example, I like the red tint on Euterpe oleracea seedlings

Best regards

This is a good idea. I was also going to suggest a rule in the photos to indicate size.

Philippe,

Licuala had some flesh around the seed, but not fresh, and it was orange.

Have you tasted that too? If yes, how does it taste?

Kindest regards

No I didn't taste it,

Kasun is eating these fruits every time we go to his mother's house for lunch, and 3 Licualas grandis are there( 3m high) , always having fruits, he chews them after lunch, other seeds fall on the floor and sprout, we should collect the seedlings!

kindest regards,

Philippe

Andrew, this is a great idea, Good luck with the project.

Since there are some 2500 species in the world it looks like your work is cut out for you!
