Hello,

I am a palm fan currently living in a zone far too cold to cultivate members of the palm family in the ground without protection and artificial heat. I am looking for a source that will sell and ship palm seeds into Canada. I am in a zone 4 and am hoping to do a large grow out of palm seedlings for an experiment (different protection methods mostly- but also testing to see if there is much natural variability in genes or gene expression related to cold tolerance). Ideally I would be able to find a low cost source for seed sourced from northern/inland populations of these species to grow out. I think that select cultivated plants from beyond the native range would also be a good source for potential enhanced hardiness.  The sources I have found are in the $10USD for 10 seeds range, plus a hefty shipping fee, and this gets costly quickly!!! I have not been able to track down any source for needle palm seed. 

I have grown both species from seed before, but I gave away/lost all my seedlings when I moved to complete my PhD. I can and have germinated needle palms before, though i know they can be tricky! 

 

Let me know what you have!
