Oh la la encepharlartos ferox coning

Talk about garden eye candy. I think this one may be a male, not really sure only because it looks different to the last one that coned in my garden which was a female. So hopefully it’s a make then I can make some seeds. It has taken this one 25 years to get to this stage, so if your in for the long haul you might get a chance to produce seeds.

That red is really eye catching. Hopefully you end up getting seed.

It’s the o my one coning atm, so if your will freeze some pollen if it’s a male you never know. It’s pushed such a red cone due to 3 months of fantastic rain.

They are tougher than nails, if can get done seeds one day I will post a few to you.

ok Richard ,To make seeds you need a male and a female, like chamaedorea

Looks female based on the shape of the cone.  A side view of the cone would likely confirm it's sex.
