You're very welcome!

I grow a lot of palms; around a hundred species. I have Phoenix rupicola and a couple other Date Palms. I have concentrated on Madagascar and Island Palms, especially those which are endangered species.

I hope to eventually provide seeds / starts of endangered palms.

Here is Ravenea rivularis, the Majesty Palm. It needs a lots of water to do well. I grow them in a drainage area that is very wet. It rains 200 inches per year here.

Aloha, Dave
