Nothing exotic but I have bunches of S. palmetto and S. mexicana seedlings if you are interested in those.

Hey I would be interested in sabal mexicana.  Are these pure sabal mexicana and not mixed with sabal palmetto?  I bought some mexicana seeds on eBay and he sent me some tiny shriveled up seeds.  Who knows if they were actually mexicana seeds.  Good thing is that I got my money back.

[jimmyt]

@Reyes Vargas They are not mixed.  I have one mature S. mexicana and one mature S. palmetto that produce seed.  Neither ever bloom at the same time. I will send you a PM.

1st pic is S mexicana 

2nd pic (with chairs in the background) is S palmetto 

These are the mother palms that produce the seed.

Here are a couple pictures of my mexicana.  I grew this one from seeds myself over 15 years ago.  It has never flowered.  My mexicana kinda looks like your sabal palmetto.

You might look here. I’ve had decent luck with their seed, especially the hardier varieties

@Reyes Vargas My mexicana and palmetto are hard to tell apart by form alone.  The mexicana has a blue-green color and the palmetto is straight green.  I think your mexicana would look just like mine if the foliage were cut higher up on the crown.

Jimmyt,  that is a fine looking cat, (even thought I am a dog person) !

I much prefer seedlings over seeds.  I suck at growing Palms from seed even fresh seeds off my trees.

@Darold Petty that cat adopted me!  He keeps the dogs away.  Name is Bruce!  I have a Pug

Sorry for late reply. Do you still have any of these? I have palmetto but I dont have mexicana. 

[jimmyt]

I do.  Quite a few.   I am guessing you want some?  May take a while though(a couple of weeks) cuz I have 4.5 inches of snow on the ground right now and more falling.

Yes I am interested what do you have and what are you willing to ship? And also does your area get snow a lot?

I have>100 mexicana seedlings and about as many palmetto seedlings.  I have palmetto seed too but no mexicana seeds this year.  We get snow here very lightly maybe one day every couple of years. We do get freezing weather yearly with temps down to low to mid teens.  @PlantDad I will PM you and we can discuss what you need.

I'm mostly just interested in seedlings. I'm not the best at germinating seeds. Thats an interesting climate. Here in salem oregon we don't get down below 25 degrees often at all. We are zone 8b so I know its technically capable of getting to 15 but in the 10 almost 11 years I've been here I've never seen it below 17 and that was a cold year and I lived in the hills of South salem where it is a bit colder. We get snow that sticks every few years. I think just about every year we get at least 1 day of snowing where it just snows but doesn't manage to stick. Trachycarpus are everywhere and there are a lot of really tall ones around town.

And yeah go ahead and pm me when you can. Thanks.
