Anybody else growing this species? I travelled to the DR last year to visit this species in habitat, and managed to collect a few seeds. Seedlings have unfortunately proved a difficult grow under desert conditions,which is surprising,as my conditions seem very similar to those of habitat.:wacko:

115F plus temps seem to have eliminated quite a few sprouts. Still have a couple dozen to play with though...B)

I remember the story about washing and buffing the rent-a-vehicle.  Do you think there is a "hybrid" issue on these seeds you collected?

Absolutely not! These seeds are as pure as the wind driven snow!!! It absolutely was the ONLY palm species growing within at least 15 miles of the area. This species only grows in habitat in the area documented by the drone video. Maybe 2000 mature trees total, and that is it. SOO remote,these trees will be safe from humans for at least another 20 years minimum. Area where they are native is extremely beautiful,but also extremely inhospitable. Extremely hot,dry,desert conditions most of the year. Cacti and plumeria are the only other most common standout species...

You are a great UAS pilot, but a better video editor.  NOT another Cocothrinax  visible....MY BAD for the question.

Palmtalk member Gmann made the video. (You can see me scampering around in the background.) It is the only video to document the area that I am aware of. Beautiful views,but not exactly a vacation destination.:lol:

Once seedlings sorted themselves out over the first year,they seem to be pretty trouble free at this point. They experienced lows this past winter down to 35F without a scratch. Surprising,since their native habitat probably never drops below 50F.
