Below pics show what I believe to be a Thrinax radiata in our garden. Would you agree? It recently was loaded down with an abundance of white seeds making it look quite interesting. Do many other palms have white fruit like this? I know Trithrinax does.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Yep, definitely Thrinax radiata. All of the Thrinax species have white fruit. It is one of the easiest ways to distinguish between Thrinax and Coccothrinax (which all have purple to black fruit).

Geez Al, is there any palm that doesn't look perfect at your place?
