Could someone please show me some pictures of brahea edulis flowers and some seeds? I want to plant some but I don't know where to get them from.

If you know where Princeton Plaza / Da Anza Park is located in Almaden ( Roughly where  Blossom Hill Rd / Meridian Ave intersect ) There are half a dozen seeding B edulis  specimens planted on a nearby street anyone can easily access..

    Mine has seed but I haven’t been down there in a while. This is when the flower first emerged. HarryIMG_3778.thumb.jpeg.34db7bd2046f0529b815dd22e57d2683.jpeg

    after all the extreme wind we have had I don’t know if any seeds are left. They were green last time I was down there.

    I have a question though. Why do some of the palms look like their leaves are droopy, while the other look tough and rigid?

    Gyuseppe,  I believe this palm is B. armata.  Note how the spadices extend well beyond the fronds, and compare your image to the others posted.   :)

    yes Darold, maybe you're right, because the last time I was at the botanical garden, in 2019, before I got sick, the brahea edulis was much smaller, instead this one in the photo is very tall
