Areca guppyana seeds

[tjwalters]

Anyone know where I might be able to acquire viable A. guppyana seeds?

Not sure how they are supposed to look when ripe - but I have these.

A nice red color. Here are a few seed pictures I found on the web:

Let me know if you think they might be worth trying after fully ripe.

Thanks.

Still looking for a few of these. Having absolutely no luck with seeds purchased from a reseller and am looking for fresher seeds from a more direct source.

Nothing? Anyone?

Tom,

Maybe contact Bo out in Hawaii. I know his old garden had fruiting trees when I was there several years back. The problem is, he might not have access anymore. Give it a shot.

Edit.....my bad, these were Areca ipot. But there's a good chance he might have the one your looking for.

Still looking for these. Wonder why these are so difficult to find.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked ebay and he currently has none listed.

TJ, it's always worth a try to contact the ebay seller to see if he has some. I sell on Ebay almost exclusively, and sometimes I don't re-list items, for one reason or another, even though I may still have them. Or, he might have some ripening that you may want to get in line for.

[tjwalters]

Thanks everyone. I am in contact with the seller and he is checking his sources.

Thanks for the tip. Just received seeds from safenut and they appear to be in excellent condition.
