Seeds Fresh, mature, tree ripened and dried seeds from trees that grow 5 miles from any other varieties of fan palms. These are the seeds of Washingtonia filifera (California Fan Palm). It is a shorter and fatter palm tree than Washingtonia robusta (Mexican Fan Palm). I planted about 50 of these last fall and they all sprouted. It took almost 2 months for them to sprout - so be patient and water them regularly. I live in the desert and do not have any other palm varieties within many miles of my house, so I am fairly certain that these seeds are true and not cross-bred. Thanks Washingtonia filifera (filifera – Latin "thread-bearing"), with the common names Desert Fan Palm, California-palm, Fanpalm, Petticoat-palm, Cotton palm, Arizona Fan Palm and California Fan Palm. It is a palm native to southwestern North America between an elevation range of 100–1,200 metres (330–3,900 ft), at seeps, desert bajadas, and springs where underground water is continuously available. The specific epithet filifera means "thread-bearing." Washingtonia filifera can live from 80 to 250 years or more. Positive feedback is greatly appreciated and needed! Thank you so much!
