How long does it take for a palm tree seed to grow?

Question

About how long after you plant a seed for palm tree would it take to grow to average size? Which on e grows th e quickest?

Answer 1

on average a palm tree will take 3 to 6 months to grow from seed, but will take about 15 years to grow to an adult size. to grow to a potted sized tree it will take about 6 years.

the fastest growing tree would be the queen palm, but it is a  common landscape palm. from seed it will take a month or so to germinate and 4 years to grow about 6 feet. it will take 10 years for it to grow a large size about 12-15 feet tall, manybe taller in warm climates. only bad thing is it will take a while for it to acutally have adult leaves. it takes about 3 years to start getting the feather like leaves

a less common palm, but alos a less cold tolerant palm is the florida royal palm. takes 2-3 months to germinate, and will take 15 years to grow a nice tunk and large leaves. the good thing it it will have nice leaves and a young age of 12- 18 months and by two years will be around 3 feet tall.

if you by a palm as a seedling and it already has one or 2 leaves that is the longest and hadest task done, for a price that isnt too much more than a seed. some seedlings are only 3-5 dollars and are small, but healthy

Answer 2

Just enter palm, seed germination, it´s all there.

Answer 3

Some palm seeds take up to two years to germinate and usually the seed method is left up to commercial growers. It can also take years before a germinated seed takes on the characteristics of what we know to look like a palm tree. Since some palms have only one “trunk” you may have to buy it at a nursery and get the largest one you can afford.

There are other palms that send up suckers around the main trunk which can be removed with a sharp knife (when they have three or more leaves) and planted in equal parts of peat moss and sand to be rooted. As long as you keep the “soil” moist and not soggy – the suckers should root. You will know they have become established when you begin to see new growth. Be patient, it can take twelve weeks or more for them to set roots and putting them in a clear plastic bag will help hold in moisture. Once you see new growth, open the plastic bag for longer and longer periods, each day, until it is open for 24 hours – then the bag can be removed and you will be on your way to having a second, third, or fourth palm.
