It seems like your fan palm tree is doing very well. The flowering doesn't have a specific benefit other than being used for reproduction. As there are male and female Trachycarpus palm trees, it will need another of the opposite gender in order to reproduce. It will be the female fan palm tree of course that will produce the seeds if polinasation was successful. With only one palm tree this won't happen of course but you can still enjoy the beauty of this moment. Once the flowers dry and turn brownish you may cut them away. Kind regards La Palmeraie Hi Elaine

What can I do with this plant and any benefits from this plant or is it purely plant ?? I’m no green finger nor a clue just left this plant to survive .. and a big like myself seems to have done better than me ! Any advice??

This is even the very first time I heard of this kind of use of the Trachycarpus inflorescence to be honest..! I totally agree with you that the author would have been more specific if this use could only be applied to one of them. Kind regards La Palmeraie Hi David!

There are quite a few reports the young inflorescence is edible, I wonder if both male and female inflorescence are edible. With another palm (Chamaedorea tepejilote) only the male inflorescence is eaten. The book "Food Plants of China" is very authoritative and thorough and simply states "young inflorescence,seeds" of Trachycarpus fortunei eaten, I'm guessing the author would have mentioned if only the male or female are edible. Any thoughts on this? Great pictures & info.
