Saw palmetto seeds (Serenoa repens)

[gpenny]

I'm looking for some saw palmetto seeds (2010 crop). I don't think a single plant in S.C. produced seeds this year! Have looked everywhere!!!!! Please PM if you have some. Will either trade or buy. Silver or green variety.

Thanks!

Europalms has these, I have purchased form them with great seeds shipped.

I have a couple clumps of a very silver variety Then squirrels ate most of the seeds....

No seeds set in my yard, either. I will have to check out some native clumps next time I can get to them.

Now that I have been out working in the yard today...something else is strange. I have zero acorns on my live oak tree (Quercus virginiana). I planted it 15 years ago, and it is big now (10+ m wide drip zone), and has had a huge crop of acorns each of the past half dozen years, at least. As soon as it was old enough, it began seeding abundantly. We don't have to put out squirrel/wild animal food when the tree is dropping acorns, there are so many.

However, this year there are zero. None. None on the ground, none still attached, no seed cups indicating they had fallen off early. Just like my Serenoa repens, that has grown from one small seedling to a 2.5 m wide clump, with no seeds this year.

Most unusual.
