knowing when to collect and germinate palm seeds

I have moved to Montserrat to a home I've owned for many years, now that I'm retired, I would like to propagate some of the palms I've planted over the years. I have a Butterfly Palm that has seed stalks with seeds, when are they ready to pick for germinating? Some of the bright green fruit, the size of a large oblong pea, are falling off the stems. I picked a small stem of green fruit which dried up to small black "seeds", but they fail the float test. Any help will be appreciated
