Looks like it wants to go in the ground.

Nice!   Totally amazing trees.  I am still a bit confused on Butia.. but no doubt that palm will be spectacular..

Is there an advantage to crossing these two, or just purely aesthetics? Nice looker.

Cheers, Barrie.

The cross could led to a nice palm (check out on google to see some pics) and it's also interesting due to the hybrid vigor, getting a highier growth rate that a plain butia o jubaea

I wish I could get my hands on one of those in the UK. That is on the top of my wish list, keep us posted as to its hybrid vigour..

Old picture of my juabea x butia.  Plant that sucker in a big pot.  Mine is in a large rubber trash can.

In my climate pure butia is much faster growing than any hybrid, but the hybrids are diffidently hardier than pure butia. Thats what I’ve noticed for me. Should be the same for you Barrie.

Sure, Hybrid vigour is not always guaranteed. Thanks to share with us your own experience in your climate.

Sanips most of my feather palms are only 5 years old, all my older ones died about 10 years ago so I am starting over with new ones. The climate here is very marine and a lot cooler in summer than most other places in USA. And very grey and rainy in fall- winter, which reminds me moss growing season is just about to happen since the nights are cooling off more now and we recieved some rain finally after 6 weeks with out any.

Your climate seems  very similar to mine on the  Welsh coast from what you say. What palms can you grow successfully in your yard/garden.

[Palm crazy]

Jungle Jas. I think wales is 8b, I am in 8a. So theres that, but my spring weather will be slightly warmer than yours and my winters are wetter and summers dryer than yours I believe. I just grow the usual hardy stuff. Trachy, butia x J, jubaea x B, chamaedorea radicals, sable bermudana, BXQ, chamerops, that pretty much all I can grow here. But I think your winters are warmer over all than mine, even though are highs and lows are pretty close in winter. 

[Jungle Jas.]

I would guess your summers are hotter than mine, normally we only get 10 to 20 days above 20C which means some palms grow very slowly but do not get killed by the winter weather. Therefor we don't grow Sables as they just don't grow.
