Butia x S. coronata

Recommended Posts

I planted out one of the hybrids today it is from a Jan 2005 germination. Mother was Butia capitata pollenated with Syagrus coronata pollen--- this is first picture -- others are smaller S. coronatas for leaf comparison.

Best regards

The comparison photos of S. coronata were from Fairchild--- Butia blood to add some cold protection.

soo for clarification the last photos you posted above are the S coronata at Farichild? Those are some really tall palm in the background in the far top right corner.

Frito,

Good to hear from you... the far ones are W. robustas, the closest trunk is a Livistona saribus

Its about 3 foot or so overall. Wife was cooking kids were fishing --- I'll post one with the 5 gallon bucket beside--- I didnt post the photo with the bucket as it makes the yard look more trashy than it is.

Best wishes,

bump: one of these crosses from the 2005 germination has recruited me to grow it. Who did this cross? This is a weird looking thing, but totally in line what I would have expected from a coronata butiagrus. It's nice and blue.

Andrew, sacrilege! This cross is a great way for those of us who would like a fast growing syagrus coronata equivalent here in California. I have a mild enough climate that I don't need these hybrids for hardiness, but to me they're so beautiful that they are worth growing in their own right.

Here's a picture of syagrus coronata from West Coast Tropicals in Florida, that's a nice looking coronata, and I hope mine will look like that someday, but mine is so freakin' slow that it will take years to look this good. Hence my interest in the hybrid.

My son is a teenager now and getting so tall. I've been photographing him next to palms for scale since he was a little guy. My Butia x S coronata grows straight up! It is a reliable grower here and would benefit from lots of flowers at its base, giving it the appearance of a water spout.

That looks awesome, Glenn. I want one (the palm, not the teenager.)

Where do I get one?

Glenn, Patric has these, but he did not do the hybrid. It's apparently a Mark Heath cross and he shared seeds with Patric. He doesn't vouch for this hybrid because he didn't do them, but it sure looks like the real deal to me.

Oh thanks, I didn't even ask Patrick when I bought it from him back when

Ed:

Take a look at this "Butia capitata x S. coronata" you gave me in Dec. 2012. It has really grown fast from the 2 gal. fruit pot into the 15 gal pot. But can you tell at this point whether it is really a cross?

The fronds have a yellowish tint and there is a threadlike connection on the outer edge of all emergent fronds that only one of my other Butias (a possible hybrid) has. Also there is a brown ( as of this summer) smut-like color on some fronds and petioles (fungus or what?). Comments please.

Hi David :)

I'm wondering how it looks your coronata cross?
