This was so funny I had to post a pic of it. I went outside to do some yard work and I noticed that my sabal palmetto is putting up a flower stalk. It is the skinniest thing I have ever seen. Its so funny. It will probably only be able to hold 3 seeds before bending over lol 😆

artic palm is right. good luck. this maybe its first flush of seeds, maybe they will get larger with each subsequent flush of seeds.

Sorry it took so long to post I have been working alot. Thanx for the advice im just sitting back and watching what happens. I have been watching the temps and my daily highs in the yard are around 100 at the wall where the sabal is. The stalk is pushing outward and starting to widen a bit , I guess Ill see in a week or so how it is. I havent been in the yard much to damn hot!!
