Darold Petty Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 This palm is 19 years old, has grown very strongly, and is incredibly fertile. The trunk is 42 inches tall below the crownshaft and is 9 inches in diameter. I propagated a recent seed crop and have 40 or 50 extras. I will divide and mail the extras to the first 3 people who PM their California address to me! Good growing to all!

What an awesome and robust palm for the cooler climate - if mine turn out like this one they will make quite a statement in the garden !

Darold Petty Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hello Troy; I think from previous photos that PogoBob's R. sapida Chatham is larger and more heavy-bodied than mine! It's great to hear you have his seedlings. San Francisco, California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darold Petty Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Game over, the seeds will be mailed soon. MattyB, Hollywood Palms, and Hadogenes are the three fast responders. Plus, I'm sending a few extras to others. Were you reading Palmtalk during business hours, MattyB ? naughty guy! San Francisco, California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
