32, fronds cut at base and dabbed but I'm not sure whether this does the trick. Anyone who sees this record and has experience how to treat please get in contact.

You probably need to cut high up to remove all the fruit, but stem scraping and 1:1 glyphosate is better than treating the cut; more surface area. The poison might not get to the rhizomes when the plants are not actively growing.
One option is to removes all the berries and let the stems die down in winter, then harvest the emerging spears in spring; you could have a feed and poison the plant at the optimum time :-)
