Phoenix reclinata seedlings wanted


Recommended Posts

If anyone has Phoenix reclinata seedlings I would be very interested, thanks in advance.

I saw some on ebay recently 

Los Angeles, CA and Myrtle Beach, SC.

Are there not some specimens on the UF campus in Gainesville? I would think there would be plentiful fruit littered about under any of those clumps, unless their landscape staff are over-tidy in cleaning the grounds of fruit. They are quick to sprout and fast growers from seed, faster than P. dactylifera; so don't be put off by starting them off that way. Of course the big problem is making sure you find an isolated female near a male P. reclinata and with no other "polluting" species in the proximity (male P. dactylifera, canariensis, roebelenii, sylvestris being the primary culprits spreading their gametes everywhere hither and yon in Florida).

So I did go by McCarty hall on campus that little section has some impressive zone pushing specimens but then again it’s surround by 90% 3-4 story brick buildings on all sides. I did scavenge some Paurotis seeds and dwarf sugar palm seeds, the reclinata there not quite ready yet, plus due to new campus construction getting parked anywhere near there is impossible. There is a stunning Bismarkia doing very well along with queens and dypsis decaryi and even a mango, it’s probably a 9b-10a microclimate. 
I will recheck the status of the reclinata seeds in a couple of months. If anyone on here had them, I would trust them more than eBay.

I bought a lot of 20 reclinata seedlings from ebay seller "jobber6" for $28 with shipping last fall.  I'm not a palm expert so I can't confirm that they are legit, but he sent me more than 20 and the vast majority of them survived the transplant shock and are growing fine.
