Chameadorea Costaricana x Woodsoniana

Last year for some light entertainment I got the male pollen of a Chameadora Costaricana and pollinated a Cham woodsoniana , I redusted the pollen over each day for a few days.

Cross pollination was successful but the seeds where very small and only 1/50 germinated as pic1746 shows the 1n only still in its compot.

I sent the same nmbr of seeds to 3 other Ptalkers , Ive only heard back from Mr Geiger and his germination rate was the same.

Anyway, Im now doing a reverse with male pollen of Woodsoniana to a female Costaricana and because of very low germination rates all seed is "accounted for" sorry.

Pic 1761 is the male inflo Cwoods on the stems of Ccosta after dusting.

Woodsonia is the largest of the Chams and imo Costaricana is 1 of the best looking clumping Cham so future growth will be interesting.. hope so anyway.

Pete :)

Pete we are friends. Please, just call me Mr. :)

It is true. Only two germinated out of all that seed. Both are proving to be slow growers as seedlings. Thanks again!

Good luck on your reverse.

Do keep us apprized.

This could be a truly cool palm. (Or, maybe monumentally ugly.)

Pete, cool you are trying this--love this genus and I admit to doing such with my 25 plus species. If my remember correctly, the dominant trait in Chamaedorea is solitary, meaning clumping traits are hard to come by when one of the parents is only a single form(woodsoniana).

I'm also interested in Chameodorea crosses. I hope to cross my woodsonia's in the future as well. How many years before they start flowering?

Lookn'n good Len :greenthumb: and as our pics show it looks very much looks like the trunk will be Woodsoniana and Leaves/Fronds are Costa but larger, should grow into a good looking Chamy I think, better looking than Woody anyway. btw when I gave my frond length it incl the petiole, see if the next new leaf is larger on the both of ours, should be I reckon. Your revervse is larger than mine as mine are "squished"  in a compot and need potting up "badly".  I think I'll X  Tepejilote and Costa next for a trial run. Thanks for the pics.   Pete :)
