    Why are the fruits of my L itapebiense globose and not conical?

    Also (I don't know the answer to the first question) do they taste good?

    I guess Butia odorata fruits might taste better … 😁

    Today all the remaining ten (!) fruits have fallen from the palm. Only two of them look almost ripe. They are conical and not globose:

    The 12 fruits of N°1601 have now also dried up. It's too cold on the window sill at 16-18°. ☹️

    The palm N°1601 seems to have recovered: eleven fruits are obviously growing again.
