How hardy has the mother plant been?  I'd love to have a feather leaved palm but I'm in 7b and haven't had any luck.

Looks pretty hardy in the picture! Nice palm!

[SailorBold]

Did you sacrifice a few to check for embryos?

I didnt.. they are right off the tree.. they do sink however..

My seeds arrived today, all sinkers.

[Laaz]

Sinkers do not mean they are viable. The local mules produce seeds, but they are solid with no embryo.

This would seem prudent at this point.

[SailorBold]

The tree does produce viable seeds... just to clarify..

Hey yall and @SailorBold - this is my first and only attempt to find an embryo in a cocoid palm. Basically,, what the heck am I looking for?? A slightly whiter bundle of fibres near an 'eye?'

[SailorBold]

I don't know much about it.. but when the tree flowered and set seed the first time I did the same thing and started this thread..
