Duds or has something pollinated my female reclinata

[Ben in Norcal]

I’m wondering if something pollinated my female reclinata? I have male canariensis and roebellini in the yard flowering.

It appears so.

My P. reclinata get pollinated by nearby P. robellenii evey year and I get hundreds of seedlings sprouting on the ground so, Ben, that might be happening with yours as well.

How far is the roebelenii from the reclinata? My two plants also bloom concurrently but they are at a distance from each other of about 37 m (111 ft ) and unless I perform hand pollination, my female reclinata never sets sound seeds. Up to now fruits in present case do look sound, although I can see one dud at least in posted picture. But my bitter experience dictates that nothing is certain yet.

Congratulations,  you are the proud grandfather of bouncing baby, err, umm, well you will know one day. Those Phoenix are very promiscuous.

Thanks all.  This is just one of the bracts - there is a lot more seed forming on the tree.  The nearest Phoenix are hundreds of feet away, in the back yard (the Senegal is in the front yard out by the street).  So, no telling whether it was canariensis or robellini.  I guess odds are canariesis given all of the plants around here.  I also have a sylvestris starting to flower down on the slope, but I have not made it down there yet to assess whether male or female.

I've got roebelenii within fifteen feet of my reclinata and have seen bees going back and forth between them. Right now there are huge clusters of fruit on the reclinata.
