I took New Years Day photos of my back yard world's smallest jungle and will post them over several topics. First up, at the request of @tjwalters (glad to hear from you again) I did my best to photograph my mutant African oil palm that has bifid leaves instead of pinnate. I got it in trade from Tom as a 2g some years back because he knew it would outgrow his conservatory and die when exposed to MD cold. I received it at an opportune time. All my 7 large queen palms that shielded my tropical jungle had died of wilt and the sun was fixing to fry many of my palms. It took a couple years and the loss of one of my two H. forsteriana but my mutant oil now extends its canopy over much of the east side jungle. And it has stayed bifid to this day. I have noticed my bifid oil is much more petite (can an oil palm be called "petite"?) than my two pinnate oils. And that's a good thing as my jungle is crowded as any self-respecting jungle should be. Only problem is I have trouble getting photos of the entire palm but I do my best.

I was curious how long it takes to sprout Dypsis prestoniana seeds using the baggy method. I did the float test, cleaned a bunch of sinkers, used a little bit of hydrogen peroxide to give them a final cleaning and then put them in baggies with some moist sphagnum moss I have for mounting orchids. I'm sure someone can weigh in regarding their experience and timeline on sprouting this species. I started those baggies on 12/1/2020. This evening I did the same with about 50 Dypsis heteromorpha seeds so would be curious about others experience on timeline and yield for them as well.

For sale is the total crop of seeds of an unknown dwarf Sabal minor. I germinated this palm around 2008 from a seed sent to me by a PTer I can no longer recall. Where he got it I don't know but he sent it to me as Sabal etonia. I learned years later it is actually S. minor. That makes sense to me because actual Sabal etonias never survived for me. I planted it in my Caribbean Garden in 2009. During the 12 years I have had it, it has grown painfully slowly to its current size of 2' tall x 3-4' wide. I has flowered for years but produces crops of sometimes fewer than 100 seeds. This year's seed output is <200 seeds. It is a compact grower and should be cold hardy as any other Sabal minor.
