Oh yeah, do not attempt to get the heart of palm when you see a harvestable one. Funny! Make sure you get some help first.
I grew up in the Philippines were it is abundant. I miss the fresh ones and love that they're versatile.
Glad you did your homework as it brought back fond memories. What a great dish you made too!
