    I have just harvest my palm and have about a million seed pods.

    what's the best way to get the seeds out of the fleshy pods as it will take for ever to pick them out separately :DOH:

    If they're fleshy it would suggest they aren't completely ripe yet...

    Other than that, try podding like you would a broad bean - squeeze one end at both edges and make it pop then run your thumb up ejecting the seeds into a bowl.

    Next Spring you will probably find seedlings coming up anyway, carefully dig them out and pot them up.:)

    Seed pods?

    I never had a close look at mine but I thought they were more like a small berry until ripe.

    They do disperse themselves quite well as strongy says.
