These are quite lovely, aren’t they? I always have great difficulty getting these giant structures (whole thing is about a metre long) down from the tall palm trees that produce them. I take them down because they produce a huge mess over the rest of the garden as they develop. Not the lovely tiny yellow flowers but the little palm nuts (tiny scale model (large grape-sized) coconuts, essentially – same family) that result later, one nut for each of those tiny yellow buds that you see!
So I cut them off. Sad, I know, but there it is.
I do it early because they have to fall. Where do they fall? All over the plants below, doing a lot of damage if I am unlucky. Better to have the much lighter blooms fall (still bad enough) than the nut-laden structure, which would pretty much smash years of growth on my Oleander, Rosemary and Myrtle bushes, and a Cycad, located directly below.

Well, I’m not sure… but I expect they’ll be a nice shade of green. 😉

What are its Chern classes ??
Great photo! I visited the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens yesterday (magnificent as always) and saw something similar.
Nice bundle photo — does it come with a connection? 🙂
Happy summer,

I would think that your palm tree would grow a bit faster because of this treatment.
Along this line, and on the subject of golden trees, the famous unique sitka spruce, the golden spruce was sterile, and I think that this accounted for its relatively fast growth despite an absence of the usual green color. I’ve been kind of wondering when arborists would start deliberately growing sterile trees.
lovely photo. looks as if there is more than one fiber over each base point? Best, B.
ps: I am stuck at the airport in LA. They had to shove us out of the plane again and we’ve been told due to a technical problem the aircraft goes out of service. now they are looking for a replacement, but I suspect it will take forever.
