The listing, California Fan Palm 20 seeds has ended.

20 seeds for the California Fan Palm. I have included the Wikipedia info about them as I am not an expert on the subject.

Washingtonia filifera is the only palm native to the Western United States and 'palm iconic' California. The primary populations are found in desert riparian habitats at spring fed oases in the Colorado Desert (Low Desert) and throughout a major portion of the Mojave Desert; with all populations extant in isolated disjunct populations throughout the stated regions. It is found in the Sonoran Desert along the Gila River in Yuma, Maricopa County, Pima County, Pinal County, in Mojave County (along the Colorado and in Mountain springs along the Colorada and in Yavapai – all are counties in Arizona as well as a large population at warm springs and several other isolated locaitions in Clark County, Nevada. It is also known in northern Baja California of Mexico. [2] [6] It is an naturalized in the warm springs near Death Valley and in the extreme northwest of Sonora Mexico, and also in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands. [2][7] As an ornamental tree it is cultivated in suitable temperate climates worldwide.
The Washingtonia filifera palm grows to 18 metres (59 ft) in height (occasionally to 25 metres (82 ft)) in ideal moisture and microclimate conditions. "

The leaf fronds are up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long, made up of a petiole up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) long, bearing a fan of leaflets 1.5–2 metres (4.9–6.6 ft) long. They have long thread-like white fibers, filifera-filaments, between the segments. When the fronds die they remain attached and drop down to cloak the trunk in a wide skirt. The shelter that the skirt creates provides a microhabitat for many small birds and invertebrates.
Washingtonia filifera can live from 80 to 250 years or more.

I'm not really sure. But I would assume they will as long as they are kept from freeze at least until they have gotten to big to keep in a container. Once the base of the plant gets to be about 8-9' tall they are very hardy. But living in south texas , we don't get the kind of cold that you get up in Indiana, so I do not want to mislead you. Sorry I can't be more help. If I get a few mins later today , I will try to research it a bit more for you.

How do I know if my address is verified in Listia? I do know that when I when an auction, the ship to button reflects my address. Is that being verified? Also, how many seeds come with the auction and are planting instructions included? Regards -
