Question Palm tree id

Hi-
I have a house with a pool in the backyard. There is a palm tree that produces small round seeds.(green). My dilema is that these seeds fall into the pool, get sucked up by the pool sweep , and causes the pool sweep to stop working. I wanted to identify the type of palm, and also hear suggestions on how I can control the seeds from falling. The tree is too large to replant, and tearing it out is and will not be an option.(Its beautiful)It stands about 15' high. The seeds are yellow and small (peasize) at first, then they turn green before they fall. ( larger then a marble but smaller than a avocado seed. Any suggedtions? Can I add a pic of it somehow on this site?

Default I cant really tell what that palm is

Try using the upload photo icon, to upload a photo. What kind of fronds are they, what color, shape and thickness of trunk. This will help. A picture would solve everything and I am sure I can help you with your problem

Default bag seeds or cut off early

Bag your seeds to collect or if your not worried about collection remove premature. Keeping the seeds from ever getting in the pool!

Default Inject it with some different chromosomes...

like in the Matrix, as long as it gets injected with different chromosomes it should work. Just make sure to get back to the mother ship before Neo gets there!
