I have many low growing ones that produce lots of seeds

One of the more versatile Chamaedorea , sun , shade , even wind. They produce copious amounts of seed that germinate freely around the garden. I had a neighbor that dug one up from her garden. She had been rearranging a flower bed and found it growing happily among the shrubs! She brought it to me , “ I think one of your palms got out” . We laughed as she handed it to me . It is now living in a nice pot by the deck. I don’t know how the seed got down there but it sprouted . I have given some young ones out to anyone that wants them but this one was a volunteer in a palm free garden. She is not a palm lover but she is kind to plants.  Harry

A 3 year old that sprouted next to the Pritchardia . It is already producing seed and just starting to trunk.

I also have a trunking one that's still small. I'm still confused. Do they need pollination? I mean are they dioecious? Because mine is flowering at least twice a year and builds fruits but not fully developped ones. I only have one plant so far. So no pollination from another plant.

I have both male and female plants so the fruit / seeds are viable . I started with a squat pot of 7 or 8 mature plants that already had fruit . They were well over 6’ tall , that was a few dozen palms ago and 25 years! Harry
