So far velutina is the only species I have gotten to fruit and the bananas were more like seed pods than fruit!

Thanks palmtree. Growing or trying to kill. The jury is still out on me...
Sounds like you have some nice ones too. I'm not expecting fruit this year either, but I am thinking of getting a grow light and see if I can keep them growing, even if slowly, or at least holding their own over winter here.
I am also starting some cold hardy palms from seed too. Just checked the bags and my Sabal minor seeds have sprouted. I also have a blood orange, a navel orange, and a persian lime.
I love Florida. My wife is now convinced that, since I can't move south, I'm trying to bring Florida to Tennessee. I guess she's right.
