Queens not fruiting..

12 years ago

Hi all,

I have 3 15 years old queen palms. there about 23 feet tall from where all the ponds are, all ground planted. I can't get them to bare the golden fruits! the constanly produce the fruit ponds? there like yellow looking fruit branch but don't have seed or anything, looks like chicken bones!it eventually turn brown. I feed them a box of palm fertilizer every 6 months. Its not hot in millbrae califonia but its a little windy once a while. What's wrong with my queen palms! Are there female or male Q.Palms? I've seen queens in my area with about 3 fruit ponds with lots and lots of golden fruits! the look ozome! reason why I bought this palms for there golden fruit looks! please help.. thanks all for any feedback...

Your palms could be male but the chance that all 3 are is very slim. I would consider it a blessing, most people would be very happy not to have to clean up after the messy seeds
