Silver Queen “litoralis”

[NWpalms@206]

I am looking for a reliable source to acquire a couple Silver or “litoralis” Queens. Ideally in the states to avoid hassles with shipping and /or customs. Thank you for any leads.

@NWpalms@206 Junglemusic has it listed on their palm prices page in 15 gal for $200.  plus shipping of course.

I'd have a ton if I had gotten some good germination rate from the batch I bought from RPS five years ago!

That being said I do have some seedlings of what may be silver queen but not sure.  Got them from John Rossi's place back in October from a very robust queen that he said survived near 20s several times.  Seeds are larger than the queen seeds I got from Ed Brown and nearly twice as large as the ones I got from my neighbors tree.

Here's the seed pics....I'll get a pic of the palm next time I'm down there.  If you'd like a couple of the seedlings I'll let you know when they are shippable.

Sure I’ll give them a shot!

Thanks I may call about this also, hope shipping isn’t as much as the palm. But probably is for 15gal.

This is my Syagrus Litoralis purchased from Jeff Marcus over 10 years ago. Left it in a pot a very long time.  Planted January 2022 from a 15 gallon, After 22F. Pictured May 2022. 

In Texas time, it should produce seeds in 10 more years. 2032

Here's a pic of the largest seedling.  Going to put these up in 3x3x5 containers and get them to at least a second strap leaf, maybe third.

 

This is my Litoralis grown from seed purchased from RPS in 2016.  It's been a fast grower in this spot, tiki head is 3 feet tall, foot is 10.5 wide for scale.

That litoralis has that upright behavior that mine does. I just kept mine in a pot too long, but it survived in my garage in 2021 so I guess it worked out.
