I am really hoping that someone in the ol' US of A has seedlings or plants for sale.  The last time I found time to read forum was the article on the native palms in Australia.  I then remembered this palm in Eric Christensen's fabulous garden in the south Bay area.  

Does anyone have this?  I have access to free shipping overnight of FedX through my husbands work, to avoid any freezing in the country at the current time, and would love to have this palm.  Let me know.

Cecile,  my two plants make very few seeds, even though they flower constantly.    Even worse, the few seeds have never germinated.

I have 2 or 3 plants still at my house, in ground. Always flowering but no seed. Its disappointing! A good amount of water in this area. My one Kentia seems really happy nearby... I really wish I could figure out how to get them to seed to carry on this genetic line...

 

There was an article in the SoCal palm journal years ago that stated if you tie a paper bag around the inflorescence then seed production is much better. I haven't tried it.

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Happy palms, you care to send us a thousand if you get a chance? The package would be, what, about 1 kilo? I'm joking, but this is a pretty scarce palm that deserves to be grown more...

I accidentally* have seed from the gold coast mountains in NE NSW/ SE QLD, I have yet to try and germinate them... probably won't sprout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*I grabbed the fruit from a tree on the hike and put the seeds in my zip up pockets and cleared customs
