I have many seeds available to those that want them. They are fresh and viable ( volunteers sprouting around parent) . Just cover shipping if you would be so kind. Send a message with address and how many . Prefer continental US only. Thanks , Harry

Hi Harry -

how can I send you a private message about the decipens seeds please ?  I am very interested - have been looking for decipens seeds for a decade now without success 😆

But I can’t see a way to email / private message you ? (Probably I am being IT illiterate)

Cheers, Ian

Thank you , everyone , for the response on these seeds . So far there is plenty to go around. I have responded individually through messaging , if I haven’t responded , just try again or quote me here so I know . Again , the seeds (or fruit) are free just covering post plus the cost of the bubble envelope is all. Thank you for the interest , Harry

I just returned a message . It looks like I never hit send! Duh , I apologize . Check your messages and let me know . Had a sick cat that inevitably did not make it so things got a bit behind . I will start shipping in order of request , so far there are plenty for everybody . I just got another load Monday. Harry

Seeds have arrived here, Harry.  Many thanks once again for making the offspring of Pauleen's plant available!  I am psyched to see if I can get at least some of these germinated.

The seeds I had have been distributed. To all of us trying to germinate , hopefully the palm Gods are sending good vibes for us. I have hope for these as I saw volunteers sprouting around the parent palms. Sevan and Terry gave me permission to dig them up. A couple have already died , a few show hope . I only have 12 seeds in my little make shift germinator. We’ll see . Please post if you have success so the rest of us will have hope. I had soaked mine for about a day or so to loosen the skin off the seed. One already had a root coming out! 🤞🌴Harry

May the palm gods bless all of us with their pinnate and palmate bounties, and may this winter not suck.

I made a big mistake ….i overlooked someone on my list . Thanks to the individual concerned , I was able to make it right. I really thought I had made a detailed list and was so happy that everyone got their seeds . Then I got a kind message from someone ….oops! On the slight chance that there would still be healthy fruit , I made a lunch run from work and there were fresh seeds still falling! I got bonked on the head with a couple while gathering ! ( good thing I wasn’t gathering coconuts! ). I grabbed a fair amount of the latest batch. If I forgot you , don’t be shy, I have more . I had my bag of seeds in my garage in a paper bag and it seems a few had dried out so they had to be thrown out . I am no expert at this sort of thing but I would get them going sooner than later.

This was about ten minutes of “ hands and knees “ gathering from the side palm ( there are two huge palms ) Harry

That's dedication. Not even using the shop vac and not doing it on company time? That's dedication.

Plant people are even nicer than dog people or truck people, and that's saying a lot.

Thanks again Harry for making these seeds available.  Maybe you need to delete some old messages to free up space?  Although if you're still receiving messages from others that might not be an issue.

Here is a C decipiens in my yard (one of two) that was started from seed in the late 1990's.  Have patience my friends.
