Where does the palm tree seed come from?

I'd like to get the seeds off my Palm Tree. I have a Palm tree (bush) it is 8 foot tall. It has grape looking things on it now. It does this every year, I get one bloom of these things. Where can I get seeds from my Palm Tree? and How, then how to plant the seeds? Thanks.

Those grape looking things, that grow after the flowers, are the palm fruit. The fruit will have a small amount of pulp surrounding a seed. In order to get a good percent germination, you have to remove the pulp before planting the seeds. Depending on what type of palm you have, this is done several ways. The most common is to put the fruit in a bucket of water and let most of the pulp rot off of the seeds (this smells pretty bad, but is often the most effective method for large quantities of seed). You can try some combination of removing pulp with a knife, or drying the fruit and then removing it with a knife or your fingernails, etc.. For some palms dried fruit are easier to clean, for others fresh fruit is easier.


There are naturally occurring chemicals in the pulp which inhibit seed germination. After you have clean dry seeds, soak them in water for a couple of days, changing the water once or twice a day to leach out any remaining trace of these inhibitors.


Finally plant the seeds in any good quality potting soil and keep them moist and warm until they germinate. I want to emphasize keeping them warm. Equal to putting the pot in full sun during the hottest part of summer.


Germination percentages are often not high for palms, so sow more seeds than you think you need. Germination times of 2 to 3 months are common for palms, so be patient.
Reply:I think it's a coconut.
Reply:I do not know what type of palm you have but the following comments generally apply to palms.





The grape like things are the fruits of the palm.The seeds are within these fruits,protected by a tough fibrous skin commonly called the husk. In some palms like the coconut,this layer can be very tough and fibrous indeed.





Just wait until the fruits are ripened i.e. when they turn a darker shade of color like dark red or when they start dropping off from the fruit bunches,peel off the fibrous skins and plant the hard-shelled seed in well drained soil.(Most palms do not like too much water).Germination may take some time,so be patient. Scratching with a file the hard shell that protects the the seed often helps water absorption and hence hasten germination.
