Archontophoenix myolensis

Archontophoenix myolensis
Myola Palm

A tall, slender, elegant palm, somewhat reminiscent of A. cunninghamiana, with a smooth trunk that can reach about 20 m (65 ft.) in height and a long, blue-green crownshaft that holds a spreading crown of elegantly arching leaves. It is native to northeastern Queensland where it grows only in a couple of locations of gallery forest on volcanic soil between 350 and 400 m (1100 and 1300 ft.) elevation near Myola on the Atherton Tableland.

... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Ordered 30 seeds, I got around 35. 30 came up within 3-4 weeks all growing strongly. I've just placed them out into my hothouse for growing on. Should be no problems with this easy to grow species. Nothing hard about germinating this rare Archontophoenix.
