Cool!  How and where will you plant them?  Do these grow outside deep, humid tropics?

Actually i want to make them all a bonsai palm in pot and just want to pick 1 or 2 in the ground(not bonsai). And salak palm can grow in subtropical and tropical climates, like im in the java island its very easy to grow i have one in front yard, but in subtropical it needs very good care because this palm is not very cold hardy, and this needs to be grow outside it needs a warm area and can grow in filtered light:lol:.

Very cool. They just pop on water like that, huh? What is the tissue for?

Yea, they just germinate for 3 weeks covered with a wet tissue inside a container, and the tissue is used to germinate a seed and using this method it can germinate faster than grow in the soil. Like my orange seeds and dates seed they just shoot a roots in a 2 week.

Here’s a link to a previous discussion on Salacca. Some hefty sharp spines……quite unforgiving.

Hi,

I have just planted several seeds and am hoping to grow these trees in containers.  I'm very excited but have a few questions:

1- Will these trees flower/grow fruit while in containers?

2- Do the suckers grow the same sex offshoot as the parent, or can they be different sexes?

3- I'm in Central FL-- do you know in general what animals would be eating the fruits?  Opossums, raccoons, rats?  Or would the tree spikes prevent any animals from accessing the fruit?

4- How deep do the roots grow, or do they grow shallow?

Thank you!
