Livistona sp. 'konstantinosa' seeds for sale

[Kostas]

I have 300 seeds of Livistona sp. 'konstantinosa' for sale, 10/12Euro, 100/65Euro + shipping.

The seeds are pure, no other Livistona species was flowering at the same time as this one.

From my research into it, it seems to be related to chinensis but either an unknown form or a different species belonging to the chinensis group. I don't think its likely to be a hybrid but i am following up its offspring to find out(little to no variation would mean this is a pure species as i think it is). Its much more beautiful than chinensis, with bigger leafs and petioles, a narrower trunk not bulging at the base and always flowers a different season than chinensis. The seeds are very big, the fruits a blue color rather than green like chinensis and the seedlings come up with leafs twice as wide.

and fruits ready for picking

This is a cool grower that appreciates lots of water. Cold hardy at least as much as chinensis
