Oi! Palmbob - did you mean unripened seed? They can't be unfertilized, if they are seeds! Thanks for the fruit photos - now I know what to look for to grow my own. This has always been my favourite palm tree!

I mean fruits, sorry.. .they are indeed unfertilized... Nothing inside but fruit... However, there are some containing seed (larger ones) in the same tree.

Thanks for clearing that up! Sterile fruit formation makes a lot more sense. What happens to them in the end? Do you get sterile and fertile fruits on the same tree?

Oops, I completely missed that you said that in the post above, my bad, I tried to go back and delete the offending sentence but it wouldn't let me, I got an error message saying I had too many edits and to try again tomorrow. (What The!?!?). Sorry for the follow-up post, but I don't want you to think I am a Doofus! LOL! Jacq.
