Socratea exorrhiza

[Kris Ashley]

Looking for seeds for the above "walking Palm" don't seem to be many places, can anyone help? I'm in zone 9.5 Fort Pierce Florida.  We have over 52 varieties here and enjoy them all.

Hi, 

  I am not sure if she still has a connection, but @NatureGirl had them last year. I bought some from her and all germinated. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ian was too strong for them in 1g pots in my greenhouse. @NatureGirldo you have any of these this year? 

[NatureGirl]

Yes, I can get hundreds of Socratea exorrhiza in a couple weeks.  [@.25 each] 
Just let me know how many you need.

I would love some Socratea as well, @NatureGirl. Thank you.

Let me know how many, I have to have these shipped to me and seeds are fairly large, don’t want to over-order.

Ok Reyes, I'll get a few hundred. I also have tons of Zombia, and will get some Prestoea, and a few others. 

[Mnasi]

I will happily take 30 Socratea and as many Prestoea and Zombia. Thank you!

@NatureGirl do you by chance have any of the Socratea exorrhiza left? Thank you for your time!

[NatureGirl]

Well, I don’t have any seeds left. But I have a pot of 6 seedling/sprouts. I have a $10 minimum, so I’d have to charge that, plus $6 shipping, spaghum & padded envelope.

Hello, I too am looking for seeds, seedlings, or younger walking palms.  Im in central Florida, Ocala.  If anyone here has any or knows a member who has some for sale can you let me know?  Thanks in advance.  Don

I'd like some seed or seedlings of Socratea exorrhiza too such a neat palm.

The ebay seller colombo40358 sells these from time to time, shipped from French Guiana. They are relatively expensive but good seeds if you can't find any closer to home (it might be necessary to offer up a prayer to whoever is the patron saint for getting things through customs).
