What specific palm is this in Hawaii?

[mxcolin]

Saw this at our hotel in Hawaii and brought back some seeds. Unlikely to grow outside I'm guessing but I enjoy trying to germinate them and maybe even grow them as houseplants.

Likely P.pacifica

Definitely Pritchardia.

P. pacifica and P. thurstoni are generally considered to be non- viable in California.  Seek out a species from Hawaii.

Yes , Pritchardia would be my guess. I brought home a seedling (Hilibrandi) and it has grown well here in Southern California inland valley . Slow but steady grower and smooth petioles so no worry in close proximity to pathway. Seems to handle winter well but mine gets brown tipped fronds right after winter. By late summer clean growth , doesn’t slow down . I know nothing about germinating seeds on this one. Harry

That's a Pritchardia and it doesn't look like P. pacifica which is what is usually planted at most hotels. It would help if you mentioned which hotel on which island in order to ID which pritchardia these are. Without knowing specifics it's most likely to be Pritchardia hillebrandii which is the most widely planted native loulu palm in Hawaii due to drought tolerance, speed of growth and resistance to cane borer.
