TRAVELERS PALM Tree 10 Seeds
Ravenala madagascariensis
Known best by the common name Traveler’s Palm, this fan-shaped broadleaf evergreen isn’t actually a true palm, but a member of the Strelitziaceae family aka Great White Bird of Paradise.
Travelers palm or Ravenala madagascariensis is not a true palm, but is closely related to banana tree family and bird-of-paradise family. This monocotyledonous flowering plant is from Madagascar and has a beautiful display of leaves. The leaves are paddle shaped or banana leaf shaped and grows on east-west line. This acts as a compass for the travelers and this is the reason for the name travelers palm. The leaves are produced on long petioles and are 4m long. Leaves arise at 45 degrees from the trunk. The white flowers are similar to the flowers of bird-of-paradise. The travelers palm does not have any branches and the leaves first appear as a green stick and after attaining the full size, it unfurls. If you are growing the plant you will find it doesn’t bear any fruits, they are grown for their attractive leaf pattern. These plants are great addition to landscapes and are fast growing. The travelers palm can grow to a height of 25-35 feet and 20 feet wide. It produces multi trunks, if the suckers are not trimmed. The stem of the fronds is able to hold water so that the plant can survive the dry spells in tropical regions. It is believed that the early travelers use to cut the stems of this plant and drink its juice to quench their thirst. Travelers Palm does best in Zones 10 & 11, but can survive 9 if they are protected from frost. If you live in a colder zone Growing as a container plant will help limit the tree’s size.
Traveler’s Palm Germination:
1) Soak the seeds in warm water for 2-3 days. Change the water daily and remove any loose skin around the seed.
2) Use a Heated Propagator & place the seeds 1/2″ deep in moist peat moss & seed starting mix. Maintain a temperature of 75 to 80 degree F.
3) Patience is need as with any tropical as germination rates are erratic. Germination will take place within 1-3 months so don’t give up and toss seeds that don’t sprout early.
