Germinating Hyphaene thebaica

[happypalms]

I have managed to germinate 2 out of 5 thebacia seeds such a Long root I turned a styrofoam box up it was all I could find deep enough and used that with a plastic large plastic bag inside it put it in the hothouse and waited and my patience has  been rewarded I did not even have a container long enough so I cut up a plastic 2 litre milk carton tha5 should do for the time being no2 all I have to do is grow it without killing it

I germinated some Hyphaene petersiana seeds years ago. I cut the tops off 2 litre cola bottles, took the bum out of one and joined them together. Oh the ends we go to for our palms.

It's the Hyphaene Rule: 2 feet of root for 2 inches of plant.

Have you tried germinating Borassus. Their roots are super long.
