Chusan Palm Query - Hi, I've been in my house for 5 years now and inherited a Chusan Palm when moving in. This year for the first time these yellow 'appendages' have appeared on the plant. Does anyone know what they are and what to do with them? Thanks

Hi

I think yours is a male if the flowers stay yellow, if they stay green its a female

Hi, yes these are flower buds, they're big aren't they, you will probably get them every year now, not very impressive flowers, but if the plant is female, you should get spherical, blue - black fruits, which contain the seeds, if you let them drop on their own, you may get some that germinate if there's a male plant nearby, I have a male plant, so I just cut the flower stalk off as it begins to die back, Derek.
