Actually these are the fruit of the Windmill palm:



The reproductive parts of the windmill palm are not as tolerant to the cold as its other organs, so in many regions one can grow the palm these berry reproductive portions will not survive. The south coast of BC is warm enough that most specimens can retain their reproductive organs and bear fruit.

But yes, I do not expect any coconut palm trees here anytime soon, hehe.
