    Sad.. I googled my name and only 1 result came out.

    That's a nice fruit! I suppose the Gardens are replanting it?

    I don't think there is too many C. umbraculifera being planted. Partly they grow rather tall. those fan palms you see with big leaves, e.g. along the centre divider of Changi Airport Boulevard, those are different, they also bear fruit cluster rather than a terminal spike.

    The coco-de-mer Lodoicea maldivica also has similar large fan leaves, but also has non-terminal inflorescense.
