We took a bit of time during the winter months to grab some palm seedlings from S. Florida and plant them in pots in C. Florida and calling it a Palm Tree Farm. We brought back several Dwarf Royal palm seeds and some Canary Island Date palm seeds to germinate here and when they get a few inches tall, we will take them down and pot them as well. Palm seeds are not fast growing, so getting them as seedlings gives you months, if not a year’s head start.
It is a fun project and, if all goes well, these little guys will be sold in 5-20 years to someone with a new home, no trees and a need to have a vacation-feeling back yard.
