Borassus flabellifer Toddy palms in Australia
« on: June 05, 2023, 05:01:38 AM »
Hey,
Anyone distributing Toddy palm seeds?
I am looking to plant some but it’s been hard to find seeds.

There are a couple at cairns botanic garden but never find any fruit and seams to be only one female by the “chinese lake”.
According to Palms in australia there are meant to be growing some in cape york if I am not wrong.
Anyone know?
I only know one private garden with mature trees.

There is also another Borassus at CBG in the Fitzalani garden but I don’t jow if it’s toddy palm or not.

I like the fruit, had it in Cambodia where it grows like a weed!!

Toddy palm is a weed in Northern Sri Lanka. The seeds are huge. It is very difficult to post the seeds. I saw in ebay some vendors selling these large seeds

Edible weed!
Shouldnt be hard to keep it under control though.

Yeah some people selling the seeds but I am unsure if the seeds would be fresh.

Satha do you know ho long mature Toddy plam seeds last??
Od do they need to be sown very fast?
