I don't have any, but a friend of mine actually contacted the fellow who runs the Bulgarian Palm website, and while he does not usually trade seeds, he can be pursuaded to send some if you want to trade with him. If you can put your hands on seeds that he wants, he is fairly generous with the amount of seeds he will send you. Worth a try!

If you're interested here's Kirils' web site.

Thanks, I ahve been to his page and tried e-mailing him to no avail. Anyone else have another source?

You could try Denis at the University of British Columbia botanical deparment Garden Forums. i think he goes by the handle "DenVic". He's quite conversant in plams/hardiness/ collecting etc. the site is http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/forums/index.php?

Kiril will send you some from Bulgaria. He sent me wack load of them a few years ago. Cheers, Joe

Kiril's email does not work. I've tried it several times now, does anyone have a current e-mail address other than the nursery@polarpalm.net?

try oikos tree crops.happy gardening!

Have you tried Banana Joe on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia? He probably doesn't have Kiril's stock, but he will have some pretty hardy stuff of his own. He's a great guy and usually very willing to trade or share.

You can probably find him in the Hardy Palms of the Northeast message board.

I got some T. Wagnerianus x Fortunei hybrid seeds from a guy in Victoria, BC this summer. About 40/100 seeds germinated and are growing in the house. I plan on planting them in a couple of years in my fenced in south facing back yard.

that must have been Denis.....he's like the "Johnny Appleseed" of Palms....nice fellow.

I think so, I am trying to remember his name, but I am excited about trying his hybrid here in Northern Virginia and if successful, I will anoint myself the "Johnny Appleseed" of Northern Virginia for palms.

I received mine from Plants Delights in NC. This is it's first winter outside.

Kiril and I finally connected. He is trading me some seed for his Trachy seeds.

Kiril sent me about 70 seeds and I am going to cold sow some outside and germinate some using the baggie method and overwinter them inside.
