Interesting. I didn't know Butia and Allagoptera were compatible. That will make a really interesting hybrid for sure!

Yes, indeed.  One of Patric's more recent creations.  I think he has grown some a little bigger than the one I got, but no bigger than a small 5g.  Will for sure be super interesting to see what it turns into.  Same for the B x Coco Queen!  No big guys of those around, either.

Not sure I have an real expectations; figured for $20 it would be interesting to see what it turned into.  Something on the midway point would be nice - if it was softer leaved, but grew with decent speed?  Something like a P. rupicola, without the slug act.  But we'll see!

I agree with Jim, this will be an interesting one to watch.  Definitely the most intriguing of the group.  Hopefully you will gain some cold hardiness with the Butia parent.  Any idea which Butia it is Ben?

According to Patric's labelling convention, it is B-D-R.  Which means it's a Butia around the corner, at Dennis Turran's house, out by the Road. :-)

I think it's just a regular odorata. :lol:

I have seen a few. It is like a roebelinni with steroids.

Roebelini look, taller a fater trunk.

Very nice!!!

My Butia x Polyandrococos (allagoptera) from Patrick didn't seem to mind low 30s and heavy frost. I kept mine (probably from the same batch as Ben's) outdoors all winter.

Here are some visuals @Tracy and @Ben in Norcal. Multiple nights in the low 30s, a handful of heavy frost. No real damage to show for it. 

Ben, does your butia x Poly have tomentum on its petioles? You can make out a bit of it on a couple of the petioles in the picture of mine below.
