Here are photos of my venerable Caryota urens that is about 14 years old and has been fruiting continously since 2005, and the source of all my free seed. As you can see from the state of its fronds, it is not likely to do so for much longer (perhaps 2-3 years. So those of you who have received seed from me, this is how they will turn out.

On the right is a Polythalia longifolia (mast tree) - which produces an equal amount of fruit but none of it ever stays too long on the ground as it is relished by birds, cats, insects and squirrels, unlike the caryota.

The ground is covered with seedlings, in 100% shade
