One of my Needle Palms has a huge lot of seeds. Can anyone tell me when and how I can extract them?

Jack, I was doing some reading on this before. It seemed as if you've got to wait until they are medium/dark brown in colour. People just seem to pull them off in bunches! I'm sure you already know to wear gloves when picking them 😆

Actually, I did not know that. 😳

Presently they are in some kind of yellowish sack that looks like it came off the set of the original Star Trek. Guess I will keep an eye on them and wing it later.

Thanks.
