Brahea Edulis

Could someone please show me some pictures of brahea edulis flowers and some seeds? I want to plant some but I don't know where to get them from.

If you know where Princeton Plaza / Da Anza Park is located in Almaden ( Roughly where  Blossom Hill Rd / Meridian Ave intersect ) There are half a dozen seeding B edulis  specimens planted on a nearby street anyone can easily access..

I have this one with fruit (seeds in them, I presume.)

Mine has seed but I haven’t been down there in a while. This is when the flower first emerged. Harry

after all the extreme wind we have had I don’t know if any seeds are left. They were green last time I was down there.

Thank you so much! I will make sure to check out the plaza!

I have a question though. Why do some of the palms look like their leaves are droopy, while the other look tough and rigid?

Gyuseppe,  I believe this palm is B. armata.  Note how the spadices extend well beyond the fronds, and compare your image to the others posted.

yes Darold, maybe you're right, because the last time I was at the botanical garden, in 2019, before I got sick, the brahea edulis was much smaller, instead this one in the photo is very tall
