On July 20, 2001, the spadix was removed, leaving the peduncle. The female zone of the pedunclew has over 1000 fruits developing. Each fruit, light orange in color, is three-quarter-inches long and a half-inch wide. Longitudinal and cross sections taken from two fruits that were pollinated by insects revealed that two immature seeds are developing in each fruit.
