Livistonas seeding for the first time

Hello all, I thought I'd share and ask some questions of the more experienced members,

 

Finally after 10 or so years my Livistonas are starting to fruit! My 2 older L decoras were planted out as 15 gallon containers. This one that's downwind seems to be getting ready to make a LOT of seed. See the pictures, these were taken out one of my upstairs windows:

Sorry it's so pixilated, cell phones....

Lots of seeds developing. Several immature fruits have fallen off but I figure that's normal. Have you found that Livistonas are not always viable the first time around? Or perhaps they're more like the Aussie Washingtinia: very fertile from the first batch? My L. Chinensis across the yard is flowering and fruiting for the first time as well. All very exciting. Well, I can't sprout them all so I'm sure there will be a freebie post in the next several months. Thanks for the information!

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

I can feel your excitement. yYs the decora seeds are viable from the very first time of formation. It is only a matter of time that sprouted seedlings turn to weeds.

L. decora is a great palm. I have 3 but they must all be female as none produces viable seeds. Okay by me.
