It start with seeds very early..mine in few yrs from planting a small plant..but you need both male and female...very slow when you compare it with chamaerops humilis..even slower than vulcano in my mediterranean climate...

I agree. Mine is pretty similar in size to yours. Mine has produced a few nonviable seeds before in previous years. Without a male and female though, I won't ever have any cerifera babies.

I’ve had a cerifera planted on the east side of the house for 10-11 years. Never flowered so I don’t know what sex. None of the a 6-8 green humilis I have around the yard have ever flowered either.

Yours are large enough to flower. For producing seeds you need to have male and female plants and they need to be synchronized in flowering time. Sometimes, not very often, Chamaerops can have hermaphrodite flowers.

they are very slow growing but very hardy in our climate. some 14 years ago I planted a seed in the garden and it is still not much higher then 40cm but never showed any damage over those years while regular humilis had the spears pulled in a few winters over those same years. Vulcano also seems to be a little hardier then humilis when it gets bigger over the years in our wet winters.
