If you are so inclined you can eat them. They taste pretty good.<BR/><BR/>The trick is, you have to dig way into the fronds to reach the fruits and the fronds are very sharp and scratchy. <BR/><BR/>I tried last year to get some, but decided it wasn't worth all the work.<BR/><BR/>The palm, however, is lovely. <BR/><BR/>After the hurricanes of 2004, we had some other trees trimmed and the trim guy offered me $2,000 for the Pindo. I think I paid less than $5.00 for it fifteen years ago. It has grown large and beautiful. <BR/><BR/>I didn't take him up on his offer.<BR/>Maybe I should have, but I didn't. I love that palm tree.<BR/><BR/>On the other side of the coin ... he can have the Queen palms in the front yard. They are nothing but a big pain in the wallet. They need to have their seed pods trimmed at least twice a year. <BR/>They have grown so tall we can't do it anymore. We must hire a tree specialist with a "cherry picker" to reach that high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780006997549677273.post-52704058689270070772008-06-27T11:35:00.000+10:002008-06-27T11:35:00.000+10:00looks like an amazing spot. we have these plants i...looks like an amazing spot. <BR/>we have these plants in our botanical gardens - the seed pods (?) look fantastic. <BR/>i also love your night shirt. i would really like to make some pants in a groovy fabric as seen in amy butler's book. they would be perfect for lounging around in on a cold sunday!<BR/>have a great weekend.<BR/>l<BR/>xLevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167382670215032422noreply@blogger.com
