ChicagoPalma Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 What type of palm tree seeds are they? I got some replies as trachys, but if anyone knows what they might be, please vote or comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Palms Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Those definitely aren’t Butia / Pindo seeds and I doubt they are Trachycarpus either. I have no idea what they could be. Either way they look very old, so good luck getting them to germinate.

Fusca Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I think they're definitely semi-cleaned Trachycarpus seeds but couldn't tell the exact species. But most likely fortunei which is the most common. 2 Jon Sunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las Palmas Norte Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Those are reniform, a clear indication of T. fortunei, or an other Trachycarpus with such type. One observation though. They look to be picked green and don't appear very fresh. Low viability rate but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las Palmas Norte Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) What should help, is Trachycarpus and Butia seeds look entirely different. Butia capitata is football shaped (pointed at both ends) and Trachycarpus are reniform and much smaller.

As I said in your other post they are 100% definitely not Butia no matter the date they arrived. There are good sellers and there are cons on Amazon.
