First Sego Palm Fruit


sego bloom 2, originally uploaded by THOS.

Our sego palm (cycus revoluta) planted by the front walkway ten years ago has finally produced a huge crop of fruit, a mass fifteen inches across. The 'flowers' are fat succulent orange pods about the size of a quarter with a fine furry surface. We don't know if they are edible, but the wasps seem to like them. KVUE used this on the weather report December 22nd. Anyone want a seed to grow next spring?
