I love this palm but the fact the seeds are so hard to find online, If anyone has access to seeds I'd buy! 😍

Why seeds? Every big box store is loaded with oodles of them for cheap.

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.

I'm somewhat of a palm newb but I didn't realize these palms could actually grow to a large, mature size. They look beautiful when you see them in stores but I figured they were just pot plants.

Just like watching the plants grow and want to experience growing one from seed also even though they are cheap 20$ for me is a lot of money

Although I have seen a few here and there like that in South Florida, majesty palms really are nice when well-watered and fertilized.

If I lived there I would get a bunch of Majestys for the garden. Can they mature as a clump?

In addition to being fussy houseplants, many palms like majesties and the pygmy date palm Phoenix robellini do not naturally clump, even though they are sold that way as generic 'tropical foliage' houseplants. If it survives, one stem will often win out while the others die off. They're not even as prone to being cultivated as curving trios like Christmas palms and other tropical feather palms in ground.

 May not be able to grow as a clump,  ..but you could do this..  I might space them a little further apart so their individual canopies aren't so squished together, but,  Already picturing something similar to this set up in a wide, shallow runoff retention basin.  ...If i ever have the space for such a project in a future yard / property, lol.


An earlier post you might have missed, on page #1 of the thread..

100 years. 

Or as a houseplant 10 months or so to fully die.

These are basically a z10a palm, right? So much nicer looking than Queens.

I think they can easily handle 9b climate . Mine has seen mid 30’s f. It grows fairly fast , not quite as fast as Syagrus R. The trunk gets large so best to give it room. Lots of water, especially inland where I am , and it can handle sun at an early stage after hardening off. Mine is tucked in behind the Caryota , you can see the trunk size comparison at least twice the size of its neighbor. IMG_3754.thumb.jpeg.e1d18a00a0e6cc0d8f353b25387845a6.jpegThese , below ,are at a local church in a more frost prone area . HarryIMG_3805.thumb.jpeg.e18b79c83e6c08dfdb96810da6f6d2c2.jpegI think the tapered bottle shaped trunks look nice . Harry

A mentioned / pictures of shared before, a few starting to show up around San Jose, so 9b,  at least in CA, = not much of a challenge for them  ..if properly cared for.

Fat base, tapered top trunk,  self cleaning, despite not being crown shafted, and small seed = very attractive qualities / Definitely provides the coconut look, w/ out the coconuts.

Very tough palms(outside) as long they are given their water and fertilizer.  I haven’t seen any damage on any of mine over the years. In my old garden they saw 29 with no spotting or any visible damage to the foliage.

mine saw 24 for a few seconds and spear pulled. Recovered well. Its slow in this spot since it grows right by the bananas and a huge tree.

So I went by and took pics, then stuffed my face in the nearby Mexican eatery.
