Survival of plantlets in the nursery was monitored, then a series of vegetative and floral characteristics of over 440 palms were studied for up to 12 years after field transfer in Cote d'Ivoire. The six clones tested showed an average recovery of 34% after freezing in liquid nitrogen. The average survival in the nursery of plantlets originating from pretreated and dehydrated and from cryopreserved SPCs was higher than that of control SPCs. Palm trees originating from control SPCs were found to flower earlier than those originating from pretreated and dehydrated and from cryopreserved SPCs. This delay in flowering disappeared progressively and all palms had flowered 3 years after planting regardless of the SPC treatment. Abnormal palms were observed in one clone only. With this clone, the percentage of abnormal palms originating from cryopreserved SPCs was significantly lower (5%) than that measured on palms originating from control SPCs (29%). %$ 076
