Phoenix Canariensis - Mature Seeds?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've recently collected some Phoenix Canariensis seeds from one palm of a bunch in a park. I've decided to collect the seeds due to their color and because they were like falling of the pods to the ground.

Here's a picture of what the seeds looked like in the palm, and what the seeds look like when I clean them up.

They look abnormally white, like not mature, although they sink in the water, they are pretty solid, and they seem to have the embryo when I cut them in half.

As you go higher in the seed pods, the seeds covers are green in their backs, and as you go down, they are more and more vivid orange, so I don't know If this is normal, or I just picked

them too early, and they just won't germinate.

Help?

 

Thank you.
