Germinating Palm Seeds and Bird of Paradise
Greetings,
I am trying to grow palm trees and giant bird of Paradise from seed. I have not had a ton of luck, I have tried a few different things with the seeds and only have about a 10% success rate. Any pointers would be great. I live in Southern California and this is a list of seeds that I have.
Queen Palm
King Palms
Foxtail palms
Fishtale Palms
Giant Bird of Paradise
Thanks for any information you can give me. I have access to tons of good seeds for Giant Bird and Queen Palms if anyone helps me out would be willing to mail some.
SHOP AT http://www.WORKINGINGTHEGARDEN.com, great prices and they share their profit with Fire Fighter Foundations.
More updates on the palms.
I have doing some growing and having some success, I have also been doing a ton of reading and have found some great info I thought I would share.
http://www.junglemusic.net/palms/index.htm found a ton here, great information and great prices on palms.
http://www.banana-tree.com/ They are great, good customer service and I got the seeds I wanted cheaply.
So I bought a bunch of small liners and I have been planting in them in a small greenhouse I built for about 10$, I want to see if keeping the seeds at a higher day time temperature and regulated night time temps helps with the germination. Still kinda bummed about my King Kong palms still not germinating. Also glad to be getting my tax return so I can build the retaining wall and start planting some of the other palms Iam growing in pots. Well thats my two cents today.
