Sabal palmetto ‘Lisa’ Seeds

I think that most of the members and visitors to this website are familiar with Sabal palmetto ‘Lisa’, but in case you aren’t, check out Palmpedia’s excellent page on it:  https://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Sabal_sp._'Lisa'

S. palmetto ‘Lisa’ palms have fused leaflets and very stiff leaves.   Progeny of Sabal palmetto ‘Lisa’ supposedly have a 67% chance of coming true to the parent’s form, but results can vary widely.

I have seeds available from an excellent specimen (pictured).  I collected these seeds personally late last November.  
 

Seeds are $16/50, $25/100.  Shipping in the continental USA is $3.  International shipping is $20, since I have to send it as a package instead of an envelope.  Also, please be knowledgeable of any restrictions in your country.  No shipping to Russia or China.
 

DM for PayPal address and to order.

67% seems optimistic. Assume all pollen will be from standard Sabal palmetto unless you have multiple mature Lisa's in close proximity. Your chances are 50% at best the seeds will come true to the mother.

Maybe so, but that number comes from the man that discovered the palm in 1998 and introduced it into cultivation.

I got nearly 70% germinate true from seeds I collected in 2008 from a wild Lisa. A couple years later I got 40% from the same palm so I think germination outcomes can vary. Some palm experts claim 20% but I think that’s low.

I have fresh seeds again, just harvested in late November 2022.  Prices are the same for fresh seeds, as follows:

$16/50, $25/100, $100/500, $160/1,000.  Shipping will still be $3, regardless of the order size.

Hi @Bigfish- Would you be able to ship internationally with a phytosanitary certificate? I am a nurseryman from India. Thanks.

By the way, this particular Sabal ‘Lisa’ is now gone.  It was in a cemetery, and it was cut down about a year ago.

Yeah, for sure.  It didn’t have any seeds on it to speak of last year, so didn’t bother with it.

Hello everyone. I am new and excited to be here. Can anyone please tell me where I can purchase some "Lisa" seeds from? Does anyone have any from this year's crop? How long does it take for the "Lisa" traits to become clearly visible? Kindly let me know as I would love to get my hands on these seeds. It would be my first project in the palm world. I am a complete newbie. :)

I have fresh seeds that I will make available probably in December or early January.  They take several years before they can be identified.

Are the shots in the first post of that palm? If not, do you have any photos? I always love seeing this palm, it's a real shame to hear one was cut down. It might be my favorite palm.

Tad, that was the one, yes.  It's gone to Palm Heaven.
