Brahea moorei blooms

Has anyone grown Brahea moorei and have it produce seed?

This tree is growing in Dallas zone 8b. 
it was grown from a seedling in place. It has been a very healthy palm and has experienced temps as low as 11F briefly. 
 

My questions concern the flowering. It has flowered about 4 times. Over the years.  This current year it has two bloom spikes. The tallest is 9 feet tall. Well beyond the foliage. 
the bloom stem doesn’t seem to make any large flowers that I can see. The stalk is healthy and continues to grow long and send out further side branches.  Normally by Late winter I trim off any damaged leaves and at this time remove the seedless flower spike. Should I leave this flower spike attached? Will it produce seeds the next year?  I sure could use advice from anyone that has produced seeds from theirs Brahea moorei. Thanks

glad to share seeds if my tree ever produces them.

@TonyDFW Not sure what to tell you with the empty flower spikes as I'm a very recent Brahea fan, but all of your plants look incredible.
