Palm bearing fruit? #99556 March 30th, 2005 at 04:11 AM

zbawic Member Joined: Mar 2005 Idaho	I have a palm that a friend gave me a few years ago. It doesn't grow very quickly and recently two "twigs" grew - one off the main plant and one out of the soil. These produced what look like little berries (could be seeds?). They were green and then turned yellow. These suddenly dropped from the branches of one twig. Can anyone tell me what these are?
