Lucinda Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have a bunch of already-germinated Carpentaria acuminata seeds that I'll gladly send to those who want to try them. And I'll even pay the postage (US). There's probably 100 or so to divide among the first five requesters. Carpies grow fast and should be good for developing canopy fairly quickly. These are perishable... so PM me by Saturday. After that, they go in the compost pile. Lucinda M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucinda Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Carpentaria seeds are in the mail to: Scott, Jasen, Brett, Mike, Nick, Timothy, Peter and someone in Palm Beach whose address I received, but no name. Still to ship: Tropiman (no address), Don B (no address). and Simona. USPS says they'll arrive Monday or Tuesday. Zeeth lives nearby and plans to pick his up in person. Many thanks to those of you who offered to reciprocate with seeds of your own. Not necessary but greatly appreciated. The mailing experience was an eye-opener and much more time consuming than I expected. Blessings on those like PiousP, Christian, Lou Thomas and Ortanique who do it everyday.

Palmə häl′ik Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 How are everyone's doing? Mine have seemed to fell into some sort of black hole... They haven't done much of anything for a few weeks now... They've really slowed down since the weather cooled...

Frank in Vero Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 How are everyone's doing? Mine have seemed to fell into some sort of black hole... They haven't done much of anything for a few weeks now... They've really slowed down since the weather cooled... Happy to hear it's not just me. I have 50 seedlings that are growing very, very slowly. I had thought they were fast growers. Do they start to pick up speed after the seedling stage?

Nick L Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Same here, cooler temps have arrived a month earlier here than last year but they continue to creep along. Thanks again Lucinda! ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Nick L Nice coastal influence at 32 43'26.88"N 116 59'01.52"W elev. 829 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidl Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 These palms are not fast until they get to three gallon size to me but then sky is the limit. They can grow several feet a year after that. Also in the ground they are faster than in the pot. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
