Oh come on, someone must have cloned it, it's relatively simple to do even after it's broken - plant stem cells are quite hardy. It's totally hobbyist-level technology. That way we could've filled the island with hundreds of these palms over a couple of years, they would've been clones, sure, but then cross-polinating a palm forest would've been a much simpler task, not mentioning that at least all the critters wouldn't have to be homeless.
