Who else is growing this? Seems unfussy in all but full sun but I prefer the less robust shade grown look. of one I planted in the bush with zero aftercare!

    Boy Rich, have never heard of this species and the name reminds me of the old Attalea moniker. In-situ must be a cool high elevation location.

    Thank for posting Rich! There’s very few photos of G orbignyana available online. Looks like a nice little palm suitable for small gardens in cool climates! Nice wide leaflets typical of many Geonoma.

    Hey Rich, I just sowed a few seeds gifted by @tim_brissy_13 via your good self, thank you kindly for organising!

    Wondering if you've got any advice on germination? I've got them in my normal peat/perlite mix in baggies, at low to mid 20's, does that sound reasonable? Also, do you happen to know anything about the provenance of your plants or where the seed came from?? Cheers, Jonathan
