We are interested in procuring anthers for pollination of double coconut in our garden.We have single female tree flowering now.
If you are talking of Lodoicea maldivica, Seychelles may be the right place to find male trees (as per Wikipedia). The challenge will be to transport viable pollen.
If you give a near natural condition, it is easy to grow palms. At JNTBGRI we are growing over 170 species of palms from various tropical areas of the world.
the best way to keep viable pollen is just to keep them inside the refrig othewise freezing pllen then thawing and dusting over the blooming female.
At last our coco de mer is bearing fruits as a result of pollens received from male palm from Thailand. We thank the government of Thailand and all those who facilitated the exchange of pollen from Thailand to our botanic garden
Great news Dr. Singh. Compliments to your continuing efforts. I wish you get viable seeds too. Please post some pictures of the plant.
