Another seed adventure , but what did I get?

[Harry’s Palms]

Hey fellow palmy friends. I went out this morning to gather some more C. Decipiens seeds for one of our people who requested them . While I was there I got a couple of Chambeyronia Hookeri that had fallen but most of the fruit on the parent is still green . Only a few were red. I left the garden and decided to stop at the apartment building that the family still owns to see if the Hedyscape had seeds , yes! I got a few that had fallen , nice coloring. Out front was a monster palm , multi stemmed gnarly looking thing with large round peach colored seeds . I hit the infrutescens and several fell to the ground . The other palm was a very tall , slender trunk with a light crownshaft and pinnate fronds. I don’t know what I have so I’m hoping someone may have a clue . Thanks in advance for your help! Harry

this is the monster 

these are the seeds / fruit . The smaller ones are Hedyscape I believe , from the palm below

this is another one that has me stumped 

This Is the fruit from that one . I managed to get 4 fruit

I zoomed in to capture a better look at the crown shaft.

 I am going to try germinating these just for fun . I don’t have a heat mat or anything , no greenhouse . Just a mix of potting soil and perlite. Harry

Harry, pretty sure this one is Jubaeopsis caffra.  Very tough to germinate these seeds.

Yea , I just looked it up . That’s it . Any idea on the tall , slender one with smaller fruit? Harry

It looks a bit like Veitchia joannis but there couldn’t be many of those that size in So Cal?

Yes, I was thinking Veitchia too but the fruits should be bright red when ripe.  Maybe they are just a bit immature?  The Sullivans have a lot of neat palms don't they?  😃

@Fusca Yes they do . I got a bit of history from Terry and he told me how his mom and dad had a nursery in Ventura that specialized in tropicals before there were available seeds or plants . A mutual friend and collector worked off and on for them . Unfortunately the father passed on early in life so Pauline was left and carried on with the help of folks in the Palm Society . After she passed , her grandson moved into the house , Terry still keeps the house next door but lives up north now . They also kept one of the apartment buildings by the college. That’s where the Hedyscape and other unknown palms were . It’s good to see that they still keep the palms up and are so generous with seeds . Harry

My cousin lives not far from there in Oxnard.  I told her about the cool palms at the apartments but I doubt that she's gone by to see them.  It's been awhile since I've been there myself.

Also , Ventura College has many palms that are worth looking at . Unfortunately they are suffering a bit but still there . Harry

‘There were two Rhopalostylus out in this field that looked neglected 

Not good at I’d with Pritchardia but there are a few

Other palms just growing without much care , as far as I could tell. I know John Tallman was responsible for planting most of the palms on VC campus. Worth a look if you’re in the area. Many more than I have pictured here. Harry
