The plumosa are flowering again, and I have finally worked out the boys and girls and where they are in the garden. No flowers opening up yet. But some daily observations will be the order for the day. I will try and hand pollinate them this year. I managed to get 4 seeds pollinated last season only to have the rats get them, right on harvest there clever little sods. In the 25 years they have been in the garden only twice I have had good seed set naturally where Mother Nature lined it all up. A nice landscaping palm that’s tolerant of a lot of hard conditions.

yes Richard please pollinate, we need seeds here

I will certainly try my best, I gave plenty of plumosa young plants to go in the garden for the next generation of plumosa seeds.

Yes Richard, I already knew your answer was positive, I have distributed many Phoenix rupicola seeds for free in Italy and also in Europe, they have germinated for everyone, here in Europe everyone complains because they can't find palm seeds good , the purchased ones are just a waste of time, 70% of the time they don't germinate anything, before it wasn't like this there were many seed sellers, now there is only 1 left

This is the only Chamaedorea in my garden that is growing faster than my Tree Form Radicalis. I got one from @DoomsDave a couple years ago. It had one frond and was nice and green . It is now almost 6’ tall! I wish I had more . Harry

Adoption day about two years ago , soaking my new palms after a long trip home!

This afternoon , the tip of the last frond almost even with a 6’ fence with a few “rings”. I could easily squeeze on or two more next to it . I will if I run across any small ones.
