Allagoptera brevicalyx Seeding: I have questions

[PalmatierMeg]

My oldest Allagoptera brevicalyx is finally putting out a crop of seeds and I have some questions about them:

1. Some of the fruit are very large, i.e., up to 2" long and 1" wide. But many of them are 1/2 to 1/3 that size. Can anyone (please, @Alberto ?) tell me what % of these seeds might be viable, i.e., does fruit size really matter with this palm?

2. Is there any interest by anyone for these seeds?

3. See link:  https://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Allagoptera_brevicalyx

This is a very handsome non-trunking palm that puts out numerous curly, dark green leaves with dazzling silver undersides. It would make a good border plant because it is unarmed but puts out a dense curtain of leaves that may deter trespassers. It is much rarer than Allagoptera arenaria, the trademark "seashore palm" but has similar culture. Its fruit and seeds are quite a bit larger than arenaria's

Once I found some unripe seeds in habitat but I don't know anything about the size of this seeds. Like A. campestris and A.arenaria I think the larger the seed the better they are...
