    Actually we didn't see many seeds. what you see in the third pic is the wrapping ( sorry for this stupid word, I don't know how to tell) of the inflorescence.

    Seeds are small like for Ptychosperma species.

    Regards

    This is mine with an overall height of 3m. Not a fast growing palm, but not my slowest either.

    Scott,

    Are you it's not  a Nephrosperma ?
    I can't see very well on the picture, maybe I am wrong.

    Deckenia is still on my wish list! Lovely palms! Thanks so much for the photos.

     Thanks for sharing the pictures.  Now there's another palm I want.  I really do like palms that have thorns on the trunk.  The growth rings on the trunk look real cool too.

    Philippe, I can see why you are not sure.They are both very similar.I can tell you that this palm came from a very reputable source. I do not believe I have ever seen a Nephrosperma or mature Deckenia either so I am certainly no expert on this.

    These look so nice one the thorns stop being so prominent.

    Comparing with Deckenia nobilis in Thabit's garden and seeing again these pics, I really wish I can plant Deckenia in Doranakanda gardens.

    BTW, who is growing this splendid species? 
    Pics?
