Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
Does anyone know where I can buy some princeps seeds? I am growing most other Trachycarpus seedlings and would like to add these to my collection. All suggestions welcome!
Thanks, Keith

Re: Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
not sure about over there but over here there in high demand and cost a bit..never seen seed for sale that I can remember only small plants
Re: Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
Mine came from Trebrown. They only sell fresh seed so you have to keep an eye open for when new supplies come in.

Picked 2 weeks ago........... and from both sides of river, the burma type also which some people on the EPS have grown and think is slightly different. I am not sure about that, time will tell.
Re: Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
I've heard from growers over here there very hard to germinate but the fresher seed the better might have more luck
Re: Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
Seed is hard to germinate, but also, it doesnt rot, so tends to germinate over 3 or 4 years , so in fact it isnt a worse rate, it just takes a lot longer.

I don't have 18 months to sit and wait on them I'll pay a bit more for a seedling before I wait that longredsquirrel wrote:tell me about it,just had my first germinate after 18 months,fresh from garry at cold plant when i bought them, and for the record,5 out of 55 rotted in that time ,they could have been duffers
Re: Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
I've had Latisectus and waggies germinate in about two months, but I've a few fortunei seeds I sowed end of august that haven't germinated yet. I'm suprised princeps take so long to germinate. I was thinking of buying some...maybe sow and forget about them!
Re: Trachycarpus princeps seeds...where to buy?
They germinate sporadically over 3 years , I would say a third at least will germinate in 1st year , you usually get a few instant germinations. I dont know what Redsquirrrel was doing but that is not typical germination. I have been germinating them for years now. I always found the best way was to put them in a pot and leave the pot in the garden in sunshine and you will always have good germination during the spring and summer.
