Dypsis lutescens

I was wondering this today. Does Dypsis lutescens set viable seed that germinates in Southern California.

As S Cal is meant to be the closest climate to my own, I thought this might be test out how close the two climates actually are. In Perth some say D lutescens won't set viable seed, but I've done it a number of times now with impressive results.

Just wondering if anyone in S Cal knows the answer to this.

Nor have I seen any in seed. Mature ones that I have observed where at Balboa park (Botanical building) and Quail Botanical Gardens.

That is an excellent question, and I see no reason why they won't.

On the other hand, I've never seen any that have set seed.

Hmm.  How about it So-Callians?

Seen the Dyppy Lute seeds?

What about Northern mexico, around Tijuana. I don't know the area. Do people grow them down there. Is the climate different 60miles south of the border?

Sadly, I think many hired gardeners amputate the seed bracts as preventive maintenance; I've gotten seed from a backyard specimen in La Palma (but of course), between Long Beach and Anaheim (near Knott's Berry Farm).

I get by with a little help from my fronds

I have one that set fruit every year. Yes they are viable. I grew some a while ago. Now I just throw them away.
