The objective of the research is to know how to treat the sugar palm seed in order to produce fast germination and growth of seedling. The experiment was done in Mapanget Experimental Garden, Research Institute for Coconut, North Sulawesi, by using Randomized Block Design with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The seventh treatment, namely: (A) Control (without treatment), (B) Scarification with sand paper, (C) Soaking in water with temperature 27 degree C, along 48 hours, (D) Soaking in hot water with temperature 50 degree C, along 48 hours, (E) Soaking in 5 percent of acetic acid, along 15 minutes, (F) Soaking in 10 percent of acetic acid, along 15 minutes, and (G) Soaking in 90 percent of ethanol, along 10 minutes. The results of observation indicated that the germination of speed and the germination of capacity of sugar palm seed with scarification treatment is faster and higher than other treatments, whereas the effects of all treatments on growth of sugar palm seedling are the same.
