Carpentaria Acuminata, Ptychosperma Elegans or Salomonense?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been thinking of trying Carpentaria Acuminata, Ptychosperma Elegans, and Ptychosperma Salomonense here for a skinny small-ish canopy palm.  I found a few random sources for seeds or seedlings, but was hoping to buy a few from a PTer.  I'd prefer seedlings if available, just because I have 11ty billion things to do and I keep forgetting to pay attention to sprouting seeds!  Please let me know if you have any available or can suggest a reliable source.

I should have a whole bunch of seeds pretty soon (Ptychosperma elegans) here which you are welcome to. I might have one or two 1 gallon size laying around also. How many were you looking for?

@D. Morrowii which of the three species do you have?  Eventually I was thinking of doing clusters of maybe 4-6 palms of each species.  But I could also start out with a couple and see how they handle this winter.  I'm thinking of these for the West side when I cut down the telephone pole Queens, and figured now would be a good time to start collecting options for the "skinny trunk palms" that we were talking about in a couple of other threads.

@Merlyn I only have P. elegans. Should be at least 100 seeds, probably  but I only have a couple in the 1 gal size. I have a couple P. schefferi as well that I let go.
