Weird late fall flowers on Sabal bermudana

[palmnut-fry]

Strange, late time to be developing seeds, especially after having already removed first flower/seed structures back in July!

This is my Sabal bermudana that miraculously survived the record cold of last Feb ( low of 2*F).

Maybe some sort of stress for the plant after such an exposure to something as devastating but the first round of inflorescence were the normal much branched and elongated as usual. These are all super short and scrawny. 

I count myself fortunate that I didn't lose this 30 year old beauty I bought as a 7 gal at the old Texas Palm Society plant sales they used to do down in Houston! Almost every other palm I bought from that era are gone.

Beautiful palm and about cold hardy as they get. Too bad we couldn't get this chapter back up and running again.
