   Tahina spectabilis Hi all ! I was very surprised when Kim reached me to let me know about this fundraiser ! I am so glad and happy about this initiative ! It brought me back to so many memories from the discovery. It was such an exciting thing to be part of ! Of course I was just a kid and didn’t measure the importance of it but now I realise how exceptional it is to have a tree named after me. I remember the whole thing from the picnic, to my Dad coming home one day telling us that Bruno had posted it on PalmTalk and everyone was going ballistic over it ! I remember all the times we went to the site to see the inflorescence and how it ev…

   I have been asked by a Tahina project donor to start a topic listing Botanical gardens world wide that currently grow Tahina spectabilis. I think this is an interesting idea, especially if pictures are added, perhaps even with a Tahina mug or a person wearing a Tahina shirt included for scale. It would be nice to try to see all the public Tahinas, much as I now visit my holy grail Lodoiceas (double coconuts). That is once air travel is safer, as I believe there are no Tahinas (or double coconuts) in Puerto Rico public gardens. Remaining Tahinas in pots or seeds or seedlings (when seed is next available) could be gifted to a garden with an appropr…

   Viable T. spec seeds available?

   I germinated about 260 of the Tahina from the first batch of seeds and sold all the seedlings prior to moving to Big Island. Seems ironic that I don't have even one to enjoy at the farm and I sure would like to have one of those palms here at the 'ulu plantation. Is it possible to get small batch of seeds? 10 or 20? Anyone have a connection to fresh seed?
