Axel yours are so small.

My palms come from a knowledgable, and experienced source. I have no reason to doubt him...

"Dont shoot the messenger", yakno...

 

Whos to say theyre not from hybridized seed?

Who knows.

 

I have to go by what I bought it as.

I mean hey, this source used to work at a botanical garden in SoFL. Why would I doubt his say?

Hi there - Not shooting you down :)

I visited a popular PALM SPECIALIST Nursery in the north island of New Zealand years ago to purchase some Palms ( Which i did ) and to my amazement i found a group of Trachycarpus latisectus Palms around 4-feet tall and continued to read the label to find that they were labelled Trachycarpus martianus! - so proceeded to the checkout with my Chamaedorea radicalis Palms and told the Owner that his Trachycarpus Palms were labelled wrong ( Now this guy has had this nursery for like 20-years or more - like i said he was a Palm expert ) - His answer to that was:  Quote "That is what the seeds were labelled as" Unquote.

If that was his attitude - I can give him a banana and label it as an orange! - I just shook my head paid the guy and left. ( True Story )
