Extra Germinated Seeds (Sabal sp. 'Praha')

Followers

June 1, 20224 yr

I have a plethera of extra germinated Sabal sp. 'Praha' seeds to give away. I had near 100% germination from the seeds I collected at the Praha, Texas site back in late February. If you are not familiar with the ongoing Sabal sp. 'Praha' discussion, see the Palmtalk thread below:

The extra germinated seeds I have are from the palm I labeled Sabal sp. 'Praha' #5 in the aforementioned post. It is the palm currently thought to be the oldest at the Praha site by most who visit there (the rest are probably volunteers). Reports of these palms in the Praha area go back to the 19th century. In a nutshell, there is some mystery regarding what species of Sabal these palms actually are. The seeds produced are too small to be Sabal mexicana, and larger than most Sabal palmetto specimens. I am willing to ship for free to the lower 48; just agree to give them a good home. PM me if interested (first come, first serve).

(Where: bh = bottom heat, fs = fresh seed, L = love, m = magic, p = patience, and t = time)

I'll take them if still available.
