Still a bit early to tell.
My guess is male.

Which one? I posted two different trees. 🙂

Here's where the first one is at as of yesterday. Can you tell by what the inflorescence looks like if it's male or female?

when you shake those flowers if you see polen, like dust in the air its a male..

Well I went out there tonight and shook my tree and got what appeared to be some powder off of it, so it appears that that one is a male. I don't know if this will work but I went over to the other tree and tried to sprinkle as much powder as I could on that one's inflorescence. It's not as developed yet but hopefully I'll know soon what sex that one is. Fingers crossed I get seeds!

Agree with Max, if you shake pollen out of it, it's a male.
Maybe hang the male pollen flower a few inches above the other ones that you hope are female.
The wind will drop the pollen onto the female when it's receptive, if it's a female.

The other tree's inflorescence is to the point where I could shake pollen out of it as well so it appears I have two males at this point.... Kinda sucks, was hoping to get some seeds this year! Hopefully my third big one next year will put out some inflorescence and it's female. I think my two smaller trees have 2-3 years before I'll see any from them.

probably both males but wait and see..

two males at this point.... Kinda sucks

Unlike school dances, with palms it seems there are lots more males than females. 😆 😆

Just an update on my palms.

My two oldest ones are putting up frond after frond and growing a tone this year.

The three newest (the big ones I got last spring 2013) I think they are shocked still from this past winter (one of the coldest and longest I've ever known). They're putting up fronds but not near as fast as the other two. I'm ok with it because that means I don't have to modify my boxes much. The biggest of those three which lost all of it's fronds to freezing temps is recovering and I will be able to get away with a much smaller box this year thank goodness. I'll have to snap some pics to update soon.

Side note on my other tropical plants.... my cannas are seriously stunted... none are taller than 2.5 feet. These are the same rhizomes that were 6-8 feet a couple years ago... I'm confused with them. And all my dwarf brazilian bananas that i overwintered in pots inside are in ground and growing, but don't seem to be putting any height on which sucks. The summer here has been cooler than normal with minimal humidity which is what I'm wondering is doing it, coupled with not really having a spring season to warm the earth.
