1) Find a big boy Jubaea chilensis,  I happened to have one handy 10km from me.

2) Become friends with the owner or in this case administrator of the private school offer them a pogobob Chatham island 🏝 rhopalostylis Sapida 

3)  buy a big ole school vice from gumtree (the Australian equivalent of Craig's list)

4 ) place Jubaea seed in the vice and gently wind up until you hear a distinctive "crack"

5 ) soak the Jubaea seeds in water with 20ml of hydrogen peroxide and 2 teaspoons of sugar for 48 hrs

6) half bury in a  zipped bag 50% perlite and peat moss 

7) place in your guest bathroom that is heated to 26C 24/7

Check seeds in 4 weeks and they have germinated.

Or...sow them as per normal, wait a year or two, get frustrated, throw them into the garden, wait another year, dig up heaps of seedlings! That's my technique but I think Troy's method makes more sense.

1) Encuentra un Jubaea chilensis grande, yo tenía uno a mano a 10 km de mí.

2) Hazte amigo del dueño o en este caso administrador de la escuela privada y ofréceles un pogobob Isla Chatham 🏝 rhopalostylis Sapida 

3) Compra un tornillo de banco grande en Gumtree (el equivalente australiano de Craigslist)

4 ) Coloque la semilla de Jubaea en el tornillo de banco y gírela suavemente hasta que escuche un "crujido" distintivo.

5 ) Remojar las semillas de Jubaea en agua con 20 ml de peróxido de hidrógeno y 2 cucharaditas de azúcar durante 48 horas.

6) Entierra la mitad en una bolsa con cierre hermético con 50% de perlita y turba. 

7) Coloque en su baño de invitados un lugar calentado a 26 °C las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana.

Revise las semillas en 4 semanas y habrán germinado.

Hola, amigos, maravillosas Jubaeas Chilensis. Se verán gloriosos si pudieran pararse cerca de esa palmera. Serán como el rey Salomón, llenos de gloria y encanto.
