trachy seeds
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:55 pm
Will a female trachy produce seeds even if their is no male tree in the area? If so, I would assume they would not be viable. Is this correct?
Las Palmas Norte (old posting)Windmill palms Trachycarpus fortunei produce infloresence (flowers) not seeds. You need the presence of a male and female tree to produce seed. Seed will only form on a female tree when pollonated by a male tree. On very rare occasions both types of infloresece may appear on a single tree, thus cloning itself. Again, a very rare occurance.
