Do you have more than one palm? As I think Chamaerops is dioecious.

They will most probably bloom and then wither, unless you know of any other Chamaerops in your area? Mine flowered 2 years in a row and again has flowers, but never any seed. :|

Thanks guys. It has been in ground for at least 5 years probably more. Just use heat tape and cover in winter.

I checked my palm today - the seeds dried out.. It's a pity.
