If this one produces seed, you should be able to tell if they have a chance.. While the largest would flower & produce seed often, most seed i'd collect were empty or basically liquid when opened. The only mature ( and flowering /seeding ) specimens i'm currently familiar with are those in Kopsick's collection. You did not get a palm that was basically bare root and a palm you specifically said you did not want!!! You got an amazing holy grail palm at a discount price.

• Sorry to hear this.....time to edit and replace.
• I caught the "Palm tree bug" a few years ago when my wife and I wanted to add some planters to our yard, and I've been turned into a palm-tree nerd, as i call myself, ever since.
• It never ceases to amaze me how little water rootbound palms in pots get, even if you soak them everyday.
• Do you know if this palm was field grown, dug up, and then placed in its pot?

They s/b just a hard and firm as a foxtail or foxy gold vetchia to be viable. The fastest way I check for viable seed is to roll the seed on concrete with my foot, giving it some moderate pressure. It took about years of seeding until some viable seed dropped. I have been growing F2 Foxy Ladies for the last 3 years.

• So why does it seem the green is the better choice ?
• From what I understand, this tree has been in the pot all along and was not recently potted from a field grown specimen.
• Difficult losing palms, but the more palms you grow, over time, we lose some; that's how it goes.
• @here does anyone have Foxy Lady seed they would like to sell?
• Here is the 5th seed that failed float test.

For the past few months, specimens are in the 1gal pot size, with the palm being around a 1’ in height, most are variegated form. A potted palm, drought tolerant or not, needs watering much more often than one in the ground that's established. It's a bad combination for the palm to deal with root trauma and to fight full scorching sun at the same time. I have 2 smaller foxys, and they were sensitive to repotting; it stunted their growth for several months. I marked the spear the day it was delivered, and there has been zero growth (I wouldn't be concerned with that at this point, except that the leaf has now snapped) Yes the Veitchia can and has been the host, I had one growing at my former residence , it looks like a Veitchia, with yellowish petioles. Foxyladies hold the variegation when mature. Here are a few slightly variegated ones.

Leaning Foxy Lady palm

I bought a 7 gallon from Premier Growers about 8 months ago and it's already outgrowing the 25 gallon pot I moved it into. Here is the palm, looks very healthy aside from the obvious cold spots on the old fronds. Are they the first two foxy ladies cultivated??? Sign up for a new account in our community. Number 1 on my personal list of favorite feather-leaved / crown shafted palms so i completely understand the allure / desire to grow one ( ...or a few, lol ).. They will feel heavier than the empty seeds as well.

Are Foxy Lady palms sterile?

Here is the 5th seed that failed float test. I picked up a few seed that was on the ground while taking pics. I have 2 that look just like a foxtail. I know of 1 other grower in Cape Coral that gets viable seed.

Wodyetia X Veitchia AKA Foxy Lady

Here are a few pics of some of the F2's that I am growing out to sell. The vast majority of the good looking seed are NOT viable. Sometime even though they are hard, they float.

By the looks of it, drying and wilting, what're the odds of a rebound if I get it in the ground with profuse water? I highly recommend that you just plant this. That thing is so root bound that you need to do slow drip like they do or just plant it.

I don't know the different rates of growth for them in Florida. Will the seed look like the one you show above, or is that just the f2? I didn't notice it until after the seedling got bigger... @96720 Taking a look at your foxy lady in the pic. I have an f2 foxy lady I might be interested in letting go if you are interested I can come pick up that palm at your convenience,deliver you $200 cash, plus the 3 Pseudophoenix seedlings in the pic if you would be interested in selling.
