“Chamaedora radicalis seedling “trunking form” producing flower?

Hello all,

 

 Back in February of this year I responded and purchased six seedlings from an ad listed in Palm Exchange by IPS member Darold Petty for Chamaedora radicalis “trunking form”. When they arrived (in very good condition) I potted them up into 1 gallon containers and let them grow in partial shade under a Queen Palm in my back garden. About seven weeks (or so) ago an old boot from the Queen fell to the ground and damage one of the seedling only bending over a few petioles…I decided to move the damaged one along with two others to a safer location and planted out the rest. A couple of weeks ago I notice what I thought was the new emerging spear (from the damaged plant) had redirected it normal growth position from the center to a location between two older leafs. I thought this because I have a King Palm that did this due to freeze damage and I thought that this seedling may have experience more damage then I assumed. Today while watering this plant I notice that what I thought was the emerging spear is actually an inflorescence. Is this common for such a young palm of this species to produce flower?

Early puberty is the rule with that species, which is one of the many reasons we love them so much.

Keep us apprized!
