I think the general rule-of-thumb is to let the seeds continue to live on their stalk when the seeds are green; when the seeds turn Black, they are ripe/ready to harvest. This is tricky, as when Blackness occurs, the seeds seem to disappear rather quickly (birds, the wind, possibly rodents at work).
I have a Sabal Minor with 3 seed stalks. Two have all black seeds today, while the other one has all green seeds. Sunlight exposure for all 3 are identical. What is going on here?
Will harvested Green seeds later turn Black, or are they worthless?
I have never had any luck intentionally trying to grow any Sabal variety from seeds in a pot. Conversely, just allowing them to come up the year after falling on the ground produces them in huge, weed-like quantities.
