One of my Chamaerops humilis have set a single seed. I'm not really sure how this happened. All appear to be male palms.

That is possible to have both a female and male flower on one clumping med fan palm.
The seeds are very easy to germinate.

I wasn't sure about the male/female on Chamaerops. I've seen it on Trachycarpus but rarely. I wonder why only one seed? I have grown them from seed and yes they are one of the easiest to germinate. When the time comes, I'll have to see how this lone wolf makes out.
