First pic shows a normal queen infructescence. I was waiting for this !

2nd : There are only five fruits forming with the attempt to hybridize Syagrus romanzoffiana x Parajubaea sunkha. :bummed: I don´t know if this five are real hybrids (maybe contamination by queen pollen...?) and probably too few fruits for the infuctecence to not abort all of them later.

Keep trying! I know for a fact that the Queen X Butia hybrid can be done, as I've seen it in person! It looks like a regular mule, but with a little more lax leaves.

Are there successful R.s. X P.sunkha plants? I'd love to see this cross, could be an extremely attractive tree. Please try again Alberto!
