    Hi Kris,

    The two Borassus flabellifer I grew from seeds you sent me long ago are doing fine and getting more beautiful by the year. One of them just missed being crushed by one of our rainbow eucalyptis during Hurricane Irma. I made sure to replant with a small lemon bay rum tree so that won't happen again. Below is a photo of my second Borassus I took a week ago.

    Do you know how old the palm is Meg?  She’s a beauty!

    I would guess about 8 years old. Even though she came from the same seed batch Kris sent to me, she germinated a year after her sibling. You really have to be patient and not give up on these seeds - I'm talking 2-3 years. Seeds are size of a fist and covered with "hair", look just like Tribbles from an episode of the original Star Trek series. Really cool.

    I’m in love with the big fan palms, Borassus is one of my favorites.  My best one, 5 g. Lowes bucket for scale.
