Birds are not interested in the fruits.
Millions of flowers
This palm tree mysteriously started blooming around January. I wonder if it belongs to the same species as the self-destructing palm tree discovered in Madagascar just last year. Tahina spectabilis was named after the discoverer's daughter. The tree towers at 60 ft and has a morbid life. After patiently growing for about 30 - 50 years, it flowers and then the entire tree self destructs (dies). The whole process of flowering and fruiting is just too much - draining all the nutrients away. But though the fan-like leaves of my palm looks similar, the millions of flowers are different and it is still in good shape. Help...can anyone identify my palm before it dies on me????
Sorry, can't help you but it does look kinda like a mutant tree!
