Livistona chinensis - Chinese Fountain Palm Seeds

The fruit looks a lovely blue to me... please tell me if it's still green, then I shall go for my overdue eye check asap... :-)

Looks blue to me too Panther..........

Panther, Milky:

You both are correct...it is blue. That's what I meant. LOL!

I changed the description.

The seeds will mature to black eventually.

The seeds almost look like they could be made into jewelry.

Phew..my goodness Delonix I thought I was losing my eyesight for a while!! LOL.

Panther:

No, I lost my eyesight. lol! The seeds will turn dark green before they turn black.

What's interesting is this palm is very widely grown here...and I've never noticed the seeds turning this color of blue. Now, I'm questioning if this is
truly a Livistona chinensis? I have to do more research. : ? )

Mmmm interesting how the seeds change colours from dark green to black. This fruit looks similar to betel nuts in their being small and roundish.

Panther:

Betel nuts turn red though - if I'm not mistaken?

Sort of orangey red...

Panther:

You're so lucky you can grow Areca catechu - Betel Nut Palms. We can't grown them here (as far as I know). The Santa Ana winds would probably completely dessicate them...they would look like a blowtorch burned them. LOL!

Areca triandra - grows pretty well here though...it looks like a clustering Betel Nut Palm and doesn't grow as tall.
