| I was wondering where the best place (or rather cheapest place lol) to get bulk windmill palm seeds would be, somewhere between 1000-5000 per order.
Thanks |

| Why not just find a place that has them growing and retrieve the seeds for free. They ripen around Thanksgiving Day. |

| That's what I'd like to do, but I unfortunately don't know anyone that has a mature windmill palm. Most of the palms here are texas and florida sabals, pindo, sabal minors, a few canary island, european fan palms, and a few washington (mexican fan) palms. I have fortunei and wagnerianus palms growing here, but they are not even close to being mature. |

| Thanks for the link. It's now bookmarked! I was looking for fortunei seeds, but the windamere ones might be a better option for me! Do they sprout as easily as fortunei? |

| You could e-mail Toby at rare palm seeds and see when he'll be getting fortunei. According to the link below, windamere seeds seem to be easy to germinate. There is also some great germination tips on the page. |

Windamere is T.latisectus,they grow slow and are not as hardy as Fortunei.
I would stay with Fortunei,Wagnerianus,Fortxwag.
What area do you live in?
If you want to try Latisectus there have been some sellers on E-bay that have them,that's where I bought mine(-: Check this out too-

| I'm near Jacksonville, Florida. I saw those 150 lots of seeds on ebay and was hoping to get a bit of a better deal on a 1000 lot of them. I think a fair price would be around $40-$50 max for 1000 of them. How would princeps palms do here? That's one of the other palms I really want to have at least one of. Of course, I probably would just buy a live one vs seeds, because it'd be more for my landscape than to grow in mass quantities. |

| Princeps is the best Trachy for your area |
