I have recently picked some fresh brahea armata seeds from a tree with amazing genetics. I have germinated off this tree before and the seed is very viable and is very easy to sprout.

If you are interested in buying any please send me a PM.

100 seeds 15.00USD + shipping

here is the mother tree pictured below. As you can see this is a very blue palm with a very robust trunk. :)

I just picked up about 1000 seeds from the two most northerly trees last weekend.  The largest one has about a 40" diameter trunk and the second largest is at least 36" from base to 9' off the ground.  By far the largest Armata that I have ever seen; virtually the same girth as a filifera. Amazing specimens!

Here is a picture of these palms with my brother beside them for reference. Absolutely massive.

Yes, that was my point.  That is why I helped out with a picture showing the girth of the trees.  I sure wish we could have crossed paths while we were up there...

my kids soccer schedule took over on your stay here :( . When do you plan on coming out again? I'll be more than happy to give you a tour at the vista garden.
