In Jamaica. Going home tomorrow (Sunday) got fresh seeds on the ground. Queen solitaire and golden cane. Should I get them in warm soil and start the process as soon as I get home? Or can I put them in a cool dark area for some time?

Warm climate palm species seeds overall deteriorate much faster than their cool climate and desert palm counterparts. The sooner you get yours planted, the better.

X2. I've been reading up a bit on this subject as I'm trying to get higher germination rates out of seeds I collect, and Jim is spot on. It appears that seeds from tropical palms do not store well either, even if under a controlled environment.
