Wanted a couple of trithinax acanthocoma for the collection now all I have to do is wait ten years for them to grow I will plant them at the bottom of my property in the cool zone no special treatment just coco coir perlite in a community pot in the hothouse and time is all that is needed.

Really not worth for your subtropical climate, where there are available far many better choices.

It is passion that pushes us beyond any limits! Two years for a baby palm , that is dedication. I think the first sign of life will bring a big smile. Harry

I only wanted them for the collection like most collectors another must  have species to build the collection they will be planted far away from the main house garden.

I think that’s a tad unfair. I recently saw one locally and it was a beauty. Really stiff fronds that reflect sunlight clearly set it apart from other similar palms like T fortunei. There are certainly more tropical appearing palms suitable for NSW, but I think T brasiliensis var acanthocoma has ornamental appeal.

I really cannot agree. It' s a very handsome and rare palm here and also endangered in it' s habitat in southern Brazil.

I have several big T. acanthocoma grown from seeds. To see them growing is part of the fun.

I have a few but only seedlings. I’ll definitely keep at least one and find a spot for it but space is already tough to find here!

It's a good looking palm to me, and its spiny stem is a unique feature. 

I have one going from seed and it has got to be my slowest seedling. I think it's on its fourth strap leaf after two years. 

Is this palm a remote germinator? It's been growing in a cup the size of a Solo cup, but maybe it wants to reach down further early in life?

I got time to spare and it sounds like I will need it not sure if it’s a remote germinated.
