seed identification

17 years ago

i know you probably cant help without pics but atleast somone might be able to narrow it down.

first seed:look like a mini slightly elongated coconut,about one inch and has i think three eyes like a coconut

second seed:glossy and black about quarter inch,leathery skin that peels and exposes a smaller seed inside.

third seed:same as second except light brown and bigger slightly.

thanks

Pics would help a lot here as there are hundreds of palms. The first one that you say looks like a mini elongated coconut w/ three holes sounds like a butia seed. But again, that depends a lot on the size (would be a mini mini coconut).

Type in Kansas palms and go to the one that says

it has some really nice sections, like winter protection , and different things, a very interesting place, I'm not sure if those links take you there, that is why I have tried different ways to get you there
