Trachy seeds arrived from the UK.  Courtesy of @Vic  I got the permit for seed importation just to make sure they didn't get confiscated in customs.  Going to use my "jumpstart method" to geminate them.

The ones in the jar are T. princeps that I got from Coldplant in China a few months ago.  I put them in the fridge for a month and then into the jar inside an incubator.  They started germinating in a few days.  I'm going to have to start potting them up.  I checked on them today and it looks like ramen noodles.  Hopefully they are not too tangled.  I also have a whole bunch of Bulgaria hybrids that I ordered from Plovdiv a few months ago.  I figured that since the PNW is so good for growing these I'm going to farm about a thousand of them, but all different than just fortunei.

Yea you have the ideal climate for them.  The hybrids will sell better because most palm nuts are looking for something different.  And up there you can do the less hardy T. hybrids

I have a small princeps X fortunei hybrid that is really cranking.  It has stiffer fronds with the white undersides.  Growth has been pretty phenomenal.  It was just two strap leaves last spring.
