Absolutely weedy wretched things in my yard..... I mow them as if they are lawn.....it's a toss up between MacArthur's and Carpentarias as to which species is more of a pest. At least I can reach the MacArthurs to break off the flower bracts before they set seed. The Carpentaria seeds are 35'in the air.... ( sigh )

I have Carpoxylon set on two trees, should yield about 150 seeds I'm guessing. Not ripe yet. Also have what I believe to be Macarthurii that was bought as a waitianum, so I think it could be bastardized. For that reason I've never allowed it to set seed. I'll pm my phone number so call to discuss collection, I may be back in Ohio when these carpoxylons are ready.

Also have some Dypsis lanceolata and leptocheilos ready soon and a ton of Satakentia set now and Drymophleous litigiosus may be ready in about a week. And Crysophila stauracantha and albida set.

And my neighbor has Ptychosperma elegans fully ripe full rack, probably 3000+ seeds that I can get for you no cost on those. Oh he also has ripe Adonidia.

Ok, here's some eye candy for you. I actually have three of them, two with seed, my best and fattest one hasn't fruited yet.

The first one. It has some seed hidden behind the lutescens.

@atlantisrising That is absurd, the girth on #3. Those must be old. We will be in touch!
