What does a 23 year old Bismarck look like?

I pushed this seed into the ground 23 years past. And well it just never happened,  basically sitting there stunned like a mullet not doing a lot after germinating. The poor thing and I call myself a palm grower shame on me.

Lol, check soil pH, EC and moisture. Bizzy loves full sun and plenty of water during hot weather. I suspect also, that, like other relatives such as Hyphaena and Medemia, prefers a less salty soil. My humble opinion based on personal experience, but as in many other instances, the real culprit for a divergent experience by other people, could be only quantitative difference in growing conditions.

Iam not to worried its cousins are huge now. It was just a bit of fun at the time to see what happens. Well I found out what happened 🤣

this particular seed may have had poor genetics? every batch of seeds I germinate has a runt.

Indeed, from the hundreds and thousands of produced seeds, only few are supposed to develop naturally to thriving new plants.

It’s a new form of dwarf Bismarck. 3000 yrs before it fruits too.

Either way it’s definitely not making the genetics race!

Good stuff I will start to build a Time Machine then and come back in 3000 years and start to germinate them. That is if the planet is still around, and I shall name it Tyronisneverforgetus sp!
