What is this? A date seed or fruit? Do I let these grow or prune them off the trunk? I would appreciate some ones input on this. Thank You
We love our Sylvester palm. We had something similar on our tree. The landscaper who planted the tree said to leave it.

I think you should call a landscaper like Fairfield Farms or Terrascape. Sylvester palms are so beautiful, you don't want to take any chances.
