I got seeds in 2012 several years ago from Rarepalmseeds who has a banner on Palmtalk. They germinated well and are now in Puerto Rico.

Because I stick even 2 leaf seedlings in the ground sometimes, this is fast growth compared to the tiny thing supported by a chopstick with a twister tie (really) that I stuck in the ground 4/12. Also, you can see where the marauding cattle snacked on the leaves.

The ones I left in pots there to get bigger didn't get supplemental water during last winter and perished.

I know I need to reorder seeds since it's dioecious....

Hello Cindy,

so we have to wait until RPS offers Pigaffeta seeds again... then: to germinate or not to germinate, That is the question RPS asks!

....in 2012 several years ago.... is still 2012 last year?

Best regards

Philippe
