First lets see the big potted specimen..

Now i have a question this palm has great color close to blue hasper palm & bismarkia.Is this color real or its a passing stage(As seen in Red Latania palms).So when it matures will this palm appear green as washy ? :hmm: Why iam asking this is that the present color is awesome. :greenthumb: And i simply love it !

Thanks & Love,

kris :)

Chris, That is a very nice looking Medemia palm. I placed a order for seed and look foward in growing this palm. It looks as it is doing great in your humid wet summers.

I'm germinating seed of this (none yet, but it's only been a week) and I can't wait! It's like a Sabal with blue leaves and bright yellow petioles and black leaf bases. I saw one at Kopsick, and it was really nice. Yes, Kris, the color stays with it! How long did it take for your seeds to germinate?

Dear Keith :)

These seeds just took me around 2 months time to germinate and had about cent percent results with it.

The seeds were from RPS.com and interesting part was that i got 10 seeds as gift for buying other seeds.

I suppose i was very lucky to have it.:hmm:

And if you go through our materials needed for germination thread you could see those visuals in it.

But you must search page after page for that info ! :winkie:

Thanks & Love,

kris :)

Thanks for that info Kris. That's a very good percentage. I have seen your post in the germination thread, but i didn't recall a time to germinate. Hopefully I can get some nice plants like yours!

Dear Keith :)

Their roots would resemble more like that of corypha's or borassus.F.So once germinated i recommand that you give them deep containers to grow freely.

Alright, will do. I've got 3 containers that I had my borassus seeds in that will work. The borassus that were in them died when we had rain at 35F and multiple days below freezing after that. The soil got wet then froze solid, so the roots froze solid :( (luckily, I had 2 of them inside, so I still have a chance of getting one to grow.) I think the Medemia will grow in those at least until I can get them planted.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
