Coccothrinax argentata - fresh seeds


PalmatierMeg

Recommended Posts

Coccothrinax argentata is native to SFL, the Keys and the Bahamas. In FL it is commonly called "silver thatch palm" for the glistening sheen on the reverse side of its dark green leaves. Palms in the Keys often grow much taller than ones one the mainland, which may only achieve approx. 3' of clear trunk. The mother palm of these seeds is one of the latter variety. I planted it in 1993 as a 1g. Today it is barely as tall as I am and has only 30" of trunk. I estimate it is about 30 years old. Still, it is a lovely palm that has relaxed, drooping fronds and is virtually trouble free. It has taken down to 28.5F after icy rain with no damage whatsoever, and I believe it is hardy to at least zone 9b. It is very slow growing but tough.

The particulars:

Up to 100 seeds = $10.00              Additional amounts = $7.00 per 100

Shipping = $4.00 for up to 300 seeds. For higher amounts I will quote rates individually.

Payment via Paypal

No shipping outside the US - the cost is prohibitive
