How to grow Trachycarpus Fortunei from seed

How to grow Trachycarpus Fortunei part 1

[@vincenzecalzone8666]

Hey James. You're seeds are so fresh. The ones I've bought elsewhere in the past have taken about 4-6 weeks to pop. Think they must have been harvested pre gulf war era...interesting to see yours pop even when put in water. Thanks for the info man. Take it easy.

[@TheJames2929]

Vincenze Calzone no problem thanks man. that’s not too uncommon for them to take two or three months

[@dinacaldwell7522]

I wish I could actually hear what you are saying

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Good video, love the beer intro

[@wannabetropics1913]

Thanks James’s I have some I planted in a pot dry with a baggy over top and some I soaked in another pot covered with a baggy. I may try the keeping them in water just to see too

[@TheJames2929]

Wanna Be Tropics yeah you can just throw a couple in water and it should work

[@MrMoneyMan-zv8uk]

Thank so much i in Zone 6 I am going to try and grow some in my yard

[@DFW_Productions]

Thank you so much!

[@simonsays365]

thanks for info I have 100+ wind mill seeds

[@cmackscott761]

I have three reasonably large windmill palms and twenty smaller palms I grew from seed. I'm in zone 7a of N. Georgia. Some areas of Toronto and British Columbia are zone 7 and even 8. Mine seems to be growing faster than average. I have a swale at the edge of one and it has really taken off. These are very popular in GA around swimming pool areas because many people love the tropical look.

Ya buddy thanks bro you are lucky to live there 😎🌴

Nice tips!

[@TheJames2929]

hanzifaction thanks

Good video 👍

[@got12puppets]

For the water germination method, does the temperature matter while it's soaking? Indoor temps vs leaving the cup outdoors to soak?

[@palmtreedude]

I need to try another Trachycarpus, they’ll grow here endless they’re wimps grown in Florida.

[@TheJames2929]

PalmTreeDude yeah for sure

[@markberenbroek4124]

Can you use seeds wich are from a palm tree wich stands alone? And when do you need to harvest them?

[@MrMoneyMan-zv8uk]

does the white dot in the water cup mean that it is the sprout or the tap root

[@jcob1743]

What happened to your Queen Palm seeds? Also what do you plan to do with the 20+ seeds you plan on sprouting.

[@TheJames2929]

Keep putting them in pots and watering them all

[@2012gnosis]

Hi James palms just so you know that I have a son who live's in Fort Saskatchewan Alberta Canada at Latitude 53 degrees North and his Trachycarpus Fortunei did survive our Winter {With Winter Protection of course} and we did have a couple of days with a wind chill -53 Degrees C back in January and so far so good, and the only heat it got was from decaying leaves and that's it true story. So I don't know how cold it get's where you live in Ontario but it might be close to our Temps in the winter time correct? Thank's.

[@TheJames2929]

Paul C No I wouldn’t think so the cold this we can get here is -20 Celsius that’s absolutely the worst case scenario he takes a polar vortex we’ve never had -30 here at my house one time and I’ve been close to -25 that’s the absolutely coldest that I’ve ever seen The average winter temperature is around -1 for a high and -6 for a low in January. On average we have 14 days a year that are under -10 Celsius at my house

[@2012gnosis]

@@TheJames2929 COOL I wish we were that warm, but we all live here in Alberta and we get very, very Cold, but sometimes we do get a mild period here and there, well anyways take care and bye for now, and maybe you can do a video on how a Cold Hardy Palm can survive out in a place like here in Alberta with the right Winter Protection out Side not in side, but that means only if you want to, bye for now.

[@TheJames2929]

Paul C thanks for sure I’ll try to make a video on the best way to keep any palm trees in the absolute coldest climate I can think of thanks for your comment. Cheers

[@rdemm05]

Be sure to give an update when they sprout.

[@TheJames2929]

Ross Demmon ya for sure

[@csefton921]

@@TheJames2929 Are you willing to sell some of the seeds?

[@ericthompson6531]

Crazy dude! You think you’re the first to have Ontario grown palm seed? Lol

[@TheJames2929]

Eric Thompson No I do not think so I think there’s a couple of guys that have already done it

[@joalyincontroly4379]

Hey bud, I'm new to this and I came to KZbin to learn a bit about this because one of my three Trachycarpus Fortunei has the yellow clusters this spring and I was hoping I could harvest seeds from it. So I learned form this vid that I need a male at the same time, which I do not have. So my question is, can I legally get someone to sell me seeds through the mail? If so, can I buy some of yours if you still do this stuff? I'm on a gulf island in BC, Canada.

[@TheJames2929]

Hey, if you can order seeds in the mail for sure banana, Joe lives on salt spring island and he will sell you seeds or palm trees or both. Whatever you would like you can look him up on Facebook or KZbin.

[@allenduncan8046]

I would love to have some of those seeds if you can ship those to me that would be wonderful

[@oasispalms68]

Why is my 6 ft windmill palm all of sudden Dieing ? The Bottom part of the palm fronds are turning brown and Dieing ??

[@itzmaddzn5340]

hey james which growing zone do you live in? cheers

[@TheJames2929]

[@g.d.gardensandpalmtrees7376]

I didnt soak mine since they were fresh off the plant

[@TheJames2929]

G.D. Gardens Yes I did a bunch that I did not either

[@brandonflores3330]

Turns out the seed didnt sprout for my mexican fan palm. So i just ordered one and it arrived today

[@TheJames2929]

Captain Flores all right sometimes that happens

[@brandonflores3330]

James palms hey do you have a transplanting tutorial?

[@TheJames2929]

Captain Flores no sorry bro I don’t banana joe has some

[@cooperbookout]

Windmill Palm tree seeds

[@toastieup]

I wonder if Joe will watch this?? Comment if you have Joe. 🍌

[@TheJames2929]

toastieup yeah he does watch sometimes not all of my videos I don’t think

[@Weekend658]

So the yellow seeds coming from my male cannot actually grow Palm Trees ? I wish the son of a bitch who sold me my tree would have explained that. It was expensive and is now 11 feet tall.

[@RerisVlog]

Nice talk so fast couldnt understand u
