Voanioala gerardii
Hi everybody,
as many people here, I'm not only into bananas, but also into palm trees. I recently researched the web for new varieties and I came across the Voanioala gerardii (Forrest Coconut). It's a rare species from Madagascar and it's protected, because very few trees remained. I was checking if seeds were available, but at the moment it seems to be impossible. The only shops with seeds or plants available I found in the US and they don't ship internationally. Does anybody here has experience with groowing that palm or has any source for seeds? They should be from a shop or someone who has legally obtained them, so shipping would not be problem, as long these seeds are protected. I don't want to "help" illegal seed collectors. Just that nobody get's a wrong impression of my request. But also any info on germinating and growing of this palm would be helpful. Thanks |

Re: Voanioala gerardii
Are you sure you spelled it correctly? I can't seem to find it anywhere? I don't believe it wouldn't be on the net.

Re: Voanioala gerardii
This is all the info I can find:
Voanioala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Says it is estimated that there are less than 10 mature trees remaining, so it might be incredibly difficult (aka impossible) to get this species. Best of luck though.
