Saw Palmetto
Serenoa Repens

10 Seeds
Chill Hill Farms

In recent years, Saw Palmetto's have become very popular for use in Florida Native, Low-Maintenance, landscapes.
These seeds are very fresh and will grow very well.

We spend our Winters working in the Saw Palmetto beds and my oh my does it pay off!
The old Palmettos are trimmed, Greenbriar Vines removed & Yaupon Hollys hacked out of the way.
We are always so blessed to have a wonderful Saw Palmetto Berry harvest.

When the berries are ripe, we cut the branch holding the beautiful berries.
They are then dried in the Florida sun for weeks.
You would not believe how strong these berries smell!

Crushed Saw Palmetto berries are commonly used to make an herbal tincture.
The alcohol tincture tastes very similar to Jägermeister.
YouTube is a great resource for additional information on uses, recipes, etc.

Our farm is permitted by the Florida Department of Agriculture to harvest and sell Saw Palmetto Berries from our properties.

We checked the Palmetto patches on all of our mini-farms in 2025 and there just weren't any well developed berries. The Spring & Summer were just so dry. Hoping for a more fruitful 2026!

The Saw Palmetto berries were harvested by hand, by us, in September 2024

Yes, its hot. Yes, there are snakes. Yes, we always get stung by wasps.



Seed Starting

Nick or separate the seed from berry
Soak seeds in distilled water for 7 days, changing the water each day, then sow.
OR
Soak overnight in warm water, fold in a wet paper towel the next morning, place in a bag, then put on your dryer & check back in 7 days.
Acid Scarification can also be used

It may sound complicated, but this is for best germination rates. Saw Palmetto is typically 50% or so.
If you simply want to scratch the berry off and plant the seed, it will probably grow!

Plant seed 1/4" deep, cover with soil and keep moist
Seedlings will emerge in 4-6 weeks
