Kumar 149 Report post Posted March 4, 2011 The first flowering of my roystonea regia took place in august last year and the fruits are now mature and falling like rain. I've collected a large handful and can send them off to anyone who is interested. The mother tree is a real rocket - 45 feet+ at the top of the crownshaft, planted as a three foot high seedling in March 2000. I know this is one of the commonest palms but just in case someone wants some genetic variation. Let me know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so happy to hear that ! It feels wonderful when all that seed is put to some use - I just can't tolerate the way gunny bags of the stuff are discarded - as is the case with my caryota.

Kumar 149 Report post Posted May 6, 2011 do you have some seeds still? thanks Federico i do, but i'm not sending those to anyone because they are two-three months old and i don't know how well they will germinate, if at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protempsfish 1 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks Kumar! Just received the seeds on Friday and have been soaking them all weekend. Thanks again my brother! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumar 149 Report post Posted July 6, 2011 To All who received my seeds, here is an update on a few 'control' volunteers from the same batch. I had to uproot all but a few, which were retained in case anyone wanted a comparison of growing speed. As you can see, at about 4-5 months of age, they are showing good progress, with zero maintenance and no watering except rainfall, grown in shade.
