Carpoxylon macrospermum likes the subtropical climate

[happypalms]

Germinated these macrospermum myself, easy to germinate and grow. A lovely palm from Vanuatu most of the palms from the South Pacific islands do well in my climate especially the New Caledonia ones. Ones from Fiji are a bit more temperamental a bit like the palms from Papua New Guinea, the highland palms do well but the lowland ones suffer in winter and are not worth growing or won’t grow at all.

I would agree on how easy they are to germinate.  Recently got some seeds from @Brandon39.5 and they germinated in around 2-3 weeks with a 90% success rate.

Yep fresh seeds will germinate in about that time. A great looking palm that’s easy to grow.
