That's cool Clark.  I ordered one germinated seed from Ortanique and lucked out with a double like that.  

By the way, how deep is that pot?  I have mine in a tall 3g pot (as tall as a 5g) and the roots are already coming out the bottom.  They definitely like to send roots down.

This is an interesting palm for several reasons. One being that there are few left in habitat, therefore seed will most likely stop being exported in the very near future. So hang on to the ones you might have.

  I have one planted at my house and is doing great, but has been very slow. I plan on planting a few more this summer with that one.

Hi Jeff,

You must have great garden living in Fl.  

I was wondering how long you've had your VG? and what are you feeding it?   Also what's sun exposure?

Okay I have been called a cynic on this board before ,so here I go, yet again calling it like I see IT!

First let me say that this probably is double germination from one seed.

But  having said that, I have to call PHOTOSHOP! :D

The upper/top cotlyedonay petiole is in very sharp focus as opposed to the  blurry lower cotlyedonay petiole. Also where it goes into the ground  is out of focus, whereas the  orange cotlyedonay petiole is  extremely  crisp and in focus!

Not that there is anything wrong with photoshopping a pic ,but might have been nice to let us know! :;):

I do not believe this to be a photoshopped picture. Looks like a depth of field picture to me!

Mine that's in the ground is in partial shade and seems to want more sun from what I can tell. I feed it just palm special once or twice a year. And it's in the ground now for about 3 years.

It's definately photoshopped, but I think Clark was trying to show us the second radicle by drawing over it because it was out of focus.  No harm, no foul, repeat first down.

i wasn't gonna enter the fray, but probably better to take a higher quality pic than to post an obviously photoshopped pic, especially when you are calling attention to the very thing that was so poorly "enhanced".  :;):

now if you would've let ME do the photoshoppin', nobody would've known!!!  :D

Of course it was...trying to add some education to our world of grow and understanding....TRY AND TAKE A PIC IN A 8" DEEP HOLE!

Next time I'll take a pic of my mail box!  As there's heaps of light there! ???

I will say this, I was at Clarks yesterday, saw the "twins" in question and unless he's figured out how to photoshop my eyeballs, they're real!!!  :P

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Is it still alive? I don't remember seeing it in one of your YouTube Videos. It would be really nice to see a decent sized forest coconut palm in cultivation:drool:.

There used to be a good sized specimen a few miles south of Hilo, but it’s now buried under 30’ of lava from the 2018 Kilauea eruption. 

Mine is much smaller, but doing well. Here is a recently posted photo from another thread.
