Im looking for Livistona , Brahea or Butia palm seed.
I felt in love with these palms after looking pictures in members gallery here and would realy love (LUV, hehe) to have some of these beautyes. My area is full of Phoenix, Trachys, Chamaerops and Washingtonia palms but all others are so rare. I dont understand why? So Im asking for your help finding various palm seeds witch U can collect arround your houses, parks, streets....Well course if U are willing to participate ;)

I had several Butia seeds I gave away about 3 months ago... And I will be ordering some new, so if you are interested, I could send you some in spring.
Butias and Jubaeas are my only chance here...
I had good luck germinating Brahea Armata years ago. Let me check some contacts.

I have a bunch of Butia capitata seed. I may have some Sabal minor in a month or two. I also just started a few Brahea armata seeds.

I'm in process of germinating some Jubaea (maybe also jubaea x butia) seeds I got from a member here, but there will be some butias I might order.
Jubaeas are bigger problem, they are quite rare and veeeery expensive.

I recived some fresh Phoenix dactylifera palm fruit from friend in Sweden today. I have never seen such big date fruits. They taste delicious.
This is the best way to get fresh seed ;)
Date fruits with apple for size comparation:
