Thanks John I certainly hope they all germinate they have been a wish list palm for 20 plus years I finally tracked some seeds down and am very grateful to the person who provided them to me and will always remember that person and hopefully I can return that favour ten fold to them I never forget when someone has done something out there Heart and kindness for me you meet certain people in your life for some reason or other and often wonder what stars or gods have aligned to make that happen

I predict close to 100% germination.  My garden has a path lined with what was originally 36 individuals, and now there are a few more growing from between the stilt roots of the originals. So many seedlings ripped out of the ground over the years, it's kind of embarrassing. Mine are 'maroon form,' but not all seedlings are maroon-leaf. Perhaps 25-30% are typical green leaves. Good luck with your project, I'm confident in your success.

As they say one man’s or woman’s trash is another’s treasure what a weed to some is a wanted prize plant in a collection somewhere else thanks Kim iam sure it will be a red Areca city in my garden one day

I have only ever seen the orange vestiara,  didn't know there was a red one too. Some people say there is a single trunk version of vestiara but I have only ever found clumping specimens, therefore never bothered with them.  If you get a red one with a single trunk please put my name on it.

Here’s a picture of a red “maroon leaf” single one here in south Florida at nursery. Very pretty palm.
