Never give up on trachy princeps seeds? These took 1.8 years to germinate

What´s the longest wait you have had to germinate trachycarpus princeps seeds?

I actually abandonned these seeds and used the pot to stick and propagate cuttings of other random stuff. Maybe that influenced the dormant seeds?¿

High altitude palms, ferns, cycadales, evergreen magnolias & quercus are my jam 

I can't help to wonder if sometimes I am crossing the fine line of sharing with generosity to feeding the dynamics of desire, ego and dependency. Or maybe there is no such thing

    Hi Guillermo. I have a question, my friend. How long did it take for your Princeps to germinate? I've been at it for three months now and still nothing. I look forward to your comment.

    so long? I didn't know, the longest germination I've had is with Arenga Engleri, 1 year and a half

    I understand, my friend. It's an eternity. I'll have to wait that long. It's a matter of luck. It's very difficult to see these seeds germinate. Many people already comment on this. And it's an important palm tree.

    Yes. I actually left them out there thinking they were not going anywhere. Luckyly it was a pot that I kept watering because of the cuttings I kept putting in

    Excellent friend. I'll keep learning more about these Princeps palm trees.
