Stratification: none required.

Germination: Place them in a sterile and well drained medium, such as a mix of peat and coarse sand. Cover the seeds with just a few millimeters of sand and spray with fungicide as a watering.

Other: Seed germination is slow, usually taking between 6 to 16 months to germinate.

It is native to southwestern South America and is endemic to a small area of central Chile between 32°S and 35°S in southern Coquimbo, Valparaíso, Santiago, O'Higgins, and northern Maule regions.

* The species is partially protected within Chile, although pressures of human overpopulation and expansion of grazing areas have reduced the population of the Chilean Wine Palm in recent centuries. more...
