Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Watermelon' Seeds


PalmatierMeg

Recommended Posts

My largest Chambeyronia macrocarpa is producing a bodacious crop of seeds. This Chambey is 25-30' tall and is one of the coveted 'Watermelon' varieties with streaks of yellow on its trunk and crownshaft. This palm is large and robust with leathery dark green leaves. But its most astonishing feature is that new leaves open dark red to crimson before gradually fading to green, giving it the epithet "Flamethrower Palm." It is a spectacular, eye-catching palm from New Caledonia that is easy growing here in FL, unlike many other New Caledonia species. But it may be harder to find in the future as I've read that New Caledonia is cracking down on export of its native palms and seeds. If what I read is true, in the future only domestically grown seeds of this desirable species may be available. I have germinated a number of Chambeys from seeds and found their large seeds (~1" wide by 1.5" long) germinate easily and seedlings grow robustly. Now is your time to try this awesome species.

Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Watermelon' seeds: $1.00 each (minimum purchase 15 seeds)

Shipping: $5.00 in padded envelope (seeds are large)          No shipping overseas. No shipping to HI

Payment via Paypal

Sorry, no. Australian Customs scares me.

NOTICE: In less than a day I have received multiple requests for 170+ Chambeyronia seeds. Great news......except I don't have that many seeds left to ripen. I have set up a waiting list in the order I received each request and am in the process of notifying each person. I would like each person to have at least a partial order but I don't yet know what my final seed total will be. Seeds are ripening at the lightning rate of 3-5 per day. I'm not inclined to climb a ladder to count what's left.

Anyway, as of now, 6:15 p.m. Sunday, December 16, I am calling a moratorium of seed requests. Thanks for everyone's interest.

That will be late this year - maybe. I'm not keeping waiting lists that long. I will post a topic then. Thanks for the interest.
