Would anyone like some Washingtonia Palm seeds. This is a fast growing palm with fan leaves.
These were planted a year past September (2006) and were the thickness of my thumb when they went in.

I'd love to give those a try, Scotty but I think our site is too exposed for it to survive the winter. They look great though - and what's that
wonderful coloured hedge behind the pool? If it's bougainvillea I'm spitting with envy
 and will wish we had chosen Spain instead of France

It is a Bougainvillea fence Belinda..
Scotty sent me some pictures of it last month. Makes you want to "puke" doesn't it..

I would love to give these a try as well. Do they need any special conditions to germinate Scotty?

They seem to germinate very easily, I think if they were in a greenhouse or conservatory they should do fine.
I'll leave it a couple of days to see how many people want them before posting.

Love to give them a go Scotty if you don't mind. Those other seeds you sent me are coming on great! Are you looking for anything?

I'm willing to give them a try in my greenhouse if you still have a couple to spare Scotty..

 Scotty,
Wanted to show you that some of the seeds you sent me have already germinated and started growing. I used a 50% potting soil 50% sand mix. That seems to have done the trick..

Could these palms take the uk weather outdoors if hardened off slowly (northern weather)

You may stand a chance if you have a winter garden Tomell? Otherwise I think you would have your work cut out trying to keep them alive. Your up by Sunderland
- right?

Sorry Tomell, I know the winters are nothing like they used to be when I was a kid but it would still be too cold and too wet.
