Germinated borassodendron borneense

[happypalms]

Had one borneense pop up. And talk about a big seedling. It will be interesting to see if I can grow this one in my climate.

You should try Borassus. What a seedling they are and I reckon you might be able to pull one off in your climate in the garden.

Yep , that’s a beefy little sprout there . Have you grown this before? Are they fast growers? Harry

If I come across any seeds I definitely will try them.

It would make a big stir fry, never grown this variety before, it’s like a mega Livistona palm, water and more water. 
I think it would be a fast grower!

What a monster!

Would be tempting to plant that one straight into the ground...doesn’t look like something that enjoys being transplanted.

Yes it’s a monster unfortunately my climate is to unpredictable for moisture, and iam just to busy to tend to it daily. But yes planted in situ would be best for it. It’s alive still but give it time we will see how it goes.
