Re: Trachycarpus seed! Posted by Fred SC on August 4, 2024, 11:33 am, in reply to "Re: Trachycarpus seed!" Yes, Lloyd, they do naturalize here. At the old Fant estate in Anderson, there are ancient glens of naturalized mature Trachy forests. As l my seed that I started came from came from seed off plants that came from that estate.

They could sure increase the thickness of your Trachy privacy hedge, if you'd like. Banana Joe, from SSI, used to ship Trachy seeds and plants, all over the world. I wonder if he still does

Re: Trachycarpus seed! Posted by Fred SC on August 4, 2024, 1:14 pm, in reply to "Re: Trachycarpus seed!" Yes. Alvin. actually they could be invasive . My hedge is do thick thst I don’t think I need to seed there. However, there are a few up there with seed stalks, I think.

Re: Trachycarpus seed! Posted by Fred SC on August 5, 2024, 6:06 am, in reply to "Re: Trachycarpus seed!" Jason. I usually try and remove inflorescence before seeds form, but that clump is do thick, I hadn’t noticed them. Years ago I went around Greenville and gathered seed off bombs and took them back to Greer terminated them and then I saw I would sell the palms when they got up somewhat larger. They grow so fast. When I move from there, I left several hundred pots ofPalms. The people who bought my place were from the Philippines , and they loved that . They said it looked like the Philippines. It was so tropical looking, but anyway she was going to sell palms at the flea market so I don’t know if she did it.
