I found a branch full of black berries of of what looked like a cabbage palm tree. When I squeeze them the black "shell" cracks and on some there is a black tar-like substance.The actual seed, or what looks like a seed is brown, and almost onion shaped. I know there seeds, but are they ripe, or ready to be planted. Also, if anyone could try germinating one for me, and telling me if they'll grow, please tell me.

Heres pictures, sorry, my camera isnt good with close up small things.
