There are two sexes to a Sylvester palm, (only two!) male and female. If you are lucky you get a male. The male only has pollen stalks, no dates. The female has dates and some people like to cut off the dates as they can be messy. If you have a natural landscape with bark or pine straw mulch you can just let them fall.[/QUOTE]
Great response. Very informative and right on. Thanks very much. We have one as well. A male and love the tree. And, relatively slow growing.
And, TOTV might consider having a category each month of “best, most helpful, informative response” — yours would be at the top of the list. TOTV at its best.
