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]

Ty.. it actually is!  Also quite leaf hardy !

Very hardy.. I'd say definitely z7.. leaf hardy to 9f.. depending on duration..

Did you sacrifice a few to check for embryos?

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

[amh]

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..

 Where is the mother tree growing?

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..

I don't see an obvious embryo in that seed, but it doesn't mean that there isn't one there somewhere.  It would be just under one of the "eyes".  Look at this post of my Butiagrus seeds and you can see clear embryos:

Hey, thanks - those are great close-up shots. I have recently reverted to an older phone that doesn't "do" close-ups very well. I also don't think I knew what I was looking for... anyhow, fingers crossed.

Those are great looking seeds!
