Many flowers over the years. First time I’ve seen seeds. Will see if they turn out viable. 20’ish years old from a 20 gallon. Dana Point, CA

    You may already know this , they stay green even when ready to sow. It looks like you will be sowing seeds soon . Harry

    I did not know this. How do you know when they are ready to sow?

    When they fall onto the ground or with a bit of a nudge. Ain’t that right @Harry’s Palms ?

    Yes , they should fall off easily . The C. Decipiens I had experience with literally rained seeds every time I went to gather them. They were green in color , about the size of a marble or a bit larger. Harry

    I have a decipiens about that same size that also set seed for the first time this year. This thread has given me some hope - a rat decided to do me a favor of cleaning all the seeds of their fruit while they were still green, but had stopped noticeably getting bigger. The fruit was soft and apparently tasty, but the seed were still green. I didn't realize they stayed green. So maybe they were ready? I did cut a few open and they had beautiful white endosperm, but I could not find an embryo in the two seeds I cut, which was really surprising to me because the seeds look perfect and developed quickly during warm weather (may to July pretty much). I will just put the rest in a baggie and hope that at least some are OK.

    Hi Jeff,

    I got mine from Mardy Darian around 2010 I think. But funny because they are exact same size and mine also had a 2nd trunk that died maybe 5 years ago.
