Super spiney palms that need constant trimming of leaves and suckers to be able to harvest fruits . BUT well worth it . Some species taste better than others and some look amazing with enormous entire leaves .

The Salak Palm doesnt like cold weather at all. Apparently they are very fussy about their conditions and it has to be right to get fruit. I have read they dont even produce fruit in the singapore botanic gardens. My seedlings perished in the mild winter of the Gold Coast.

Oh, ate them before. One is more than enough for me. Virtually no taste, just crunchy texture.

Some of the best types [ and there are many ] are very sweet and juicy . Selection has been going on for hundreds of years . There are more than 20 described species and several undescribed.
So how many have you tried Mr anon.?
