Cryosophila nana

[Brian]

Anyone growing Cyrosophila nana? I sent a few seeds to another member that unfortunately died from a cold snap in Texas. I told him I’d send a few more when they became available but it’s been awhile since they have produced seed. Today I noticed a new inflorescence so hopefully I’ll have a few seeds soon.
Here are a couple I have in my garden.

  Great palm that is pretty much unheard of ..in the U.S. at least ..but should be since it is threatened in habitat, and is pretty heat / drought tolerant.  Hope it seeds for you.

Using the FL. / Mexico locations below your profile pic, &  color of the soil / rocks in the background of the pictured specimen,  assuming the pictured specimen is from your garden?  in Michoacan?

Yes, they are from my garden in Michoacan. I grew them from seeds I got off a local plant that was growing on a coastal bluff. As you say, they are pretty heat / drought tolerant but also do very well under extreme coastal conditions.

I don’t know if they’re available at all in Australia. I’ve been looking for a while, in theory it should be the hardiest Cryosophila. @Brian yours is a beauty, definitely high up on my wish list. If seeds with phyto was ever offered I’d be all over it.

I went to puerto vallarta in summer but the seeds of the native Cryosophila nana's weren't ripe yet.

I had 2 at the old place.  One I had to leave in the ground and the other one looked small enough to put in a pot but I was wrong !  There were a few around a while ago but I haven't been looking lately. Tough as old boots, handle heat, cold, drought and floods but hellishingly slow growing.
