Parajubaea torallyi or hybrids, anyone? 1 2 3

Hey, I'm curious if anyone (especially in zone 8) is growing Parajubaea torallyi, the Bolivian Mountain Coconut Palm. Found in habitats up to 11,000 feet, it has been claimed by some to be hardy to 10F (-12C). Patrick offers hybrids of Butia odorata X P. torallyi, along with other BxP species hybrids. I'm considering trying one of his Butia X P. torallyi hybrids, but I know some of you also have his other BxP hybrids. Then I thought, why not just try pure torallyi as well? It looks promising on paper. Thoughts on cold/wet hardiness of any of these plants?? Thanks for your wisdom as always!!

Patricks Hybrid Characteristics controversy

A friend of mine went down to California not to long ago to get palms and stopped by Patricks to get trees. he and Patrick got into a conversation about hybrid characters and how no 2 trees have to look the same. some people have been giving Patrick a bad rap stating that some of his trees don't have certain palm variants in them cause they don't show in that tree -like example Jabutia x syagrus but doesn't show the queen so there for Patrick is wrong . I have a video of the reason that could be. go to about 9:48 of the video about that issue. and if you want discussion about it is open for debate 10000000_607792360777678_8926951843070112410_n.mp4

It's been a colder winter than average here in the PNW with many frosty nights. I appears that the Jubaea x Butia yatay is more cold hardy than the Butia yatay x Jubaea. The BY X J is showing quite a bit of tip burn, while the J X BY is totally fine. Just my personal observation. Butia yatay X Jubaea (note tip burn): Jubaea X Butia yatay:

Spring cleaning in the garden and I got a little surprise - my phoenix sylvestris (hybrid?) Is flowering . It looks super happy coming out of this winter as well. Ultimate low recorded at 24F with a bunch of nights in the 20s and a TON of rain. There is a touch of burn on the leaflet tips but other than that it looks unfazed. No protection given this winter. Pics below

Hey there! I just got some Butia capitata and some Jubea chilensis seeds and was wondering what would be the best medium for those to germinate in since these take a while to often germinate from what I have gathered. I just wanted to see what others have used for successful germination of those two types. And would you switch out the media after a while to keep fungus growth or mold in check? As always, thank you for the help. Brian

Pest Observations
by ColumbusPalm- 3 replies
- 271 views
Hey All, Thought I’d share my experience with Trachies and Sabal inside this winter. Worthy note is all of their pots froze solid earlier in the winter before bringing in. Sabal Brazoria, Louisiana and Birmingham have been pest free the entire winter. And have even grown a little bit. The Brazoria has almost put out a full frond indoors. Trachycarpus fortunei (2 of them, one Bulgaria) have been pest magnets and have treated scale once and spider mites several times with different things - neem, captain jacks and alcohol. Trachycarpus takil - this is the one that prompted the post. Just my experience but indoors will put a plan…

This is my C. Revolta in my yard, I definitely need some help with, it first off what is it afflicted with and how do I get rid of it (preferably without chemicals)? Second, I normally don’t look very closely at it because I stopped watering it because I felt I was overwatering (leaves/fronds started to curl where I was spraying it with the hose). Watering advise would also be much appreciated! 🫤 As far as it’s history I know it has been in ground at least 2+ years and was placed here somewhat grown already and it survived the previous homeowner who according to neighbors “never watered it.”

It seems that Florida has a number of relatively recent fungi and pests that are attacking cold-hardy palms, including phoenix, washington, sabal (at least sabal palmetto), and syagrus romanzoffiana. This eliminates a lot of the cold-hardy palms which tolderate USDA zone 8b/9a! (I am not a fan of needle palms, European fan palm, trachycarpus, etc) If these palms will all be dead in a decade, what else will be left that we can use for landscape purposes?!

My now 7 year old Trachy survived that brutal January freeze in zone 7b Philadelphia, pa area. But, mostly all frons are fried. It is pushing up new frons, so i know it's OK. I think my wrapping was insufficient this year. Any expertise on fertilizer, and any other care?

Phoenix and butia after winter

So I went for a drive to the south coast to look at the maturing Phoenix and Butia there. Despite being a bit windswept in places they are looking quite good. Butia seeding quite heavily (tried to germinate before but no success) Phoenix have produced lots of seed too which I've collected as should provide quite cold hardy seedlings.

Hello Palmtalkers! I'm in 7b/8a hardiness zone with BSk bordering BWk climate (dry cold winters, dry hot summers). As I mentioned in my earlier posts on this forum we have Washingtonia palms succesfully introduced & growing here (both filiferas and robustas, protected & unprotected), Chamaeropses, Trachies, of course. I haven't seen any Canary Phoenix planted outside here so far and most of the CIDPs usually sold in indoor plants departements. I'd like to add a Phoenix palm on my home property but as the title says, I wonder if planting a Canary Phoenix in the ground outside in my zone is actually a good idea or not? And another question to our expert communi…

I have Phoenix Canariensis which I've germinated from seed. Its only grown about 4 foot in 7 year. Noticed if exposed to freeze of about -3C it easily damages the fronds. I thought it would be more hardier then that in temperate maritime climate!

This might seem unusually lugubrious but I couldnt help but notice with the death (yesterday) of Tara Palmer Tomkinson, Bramham Gardens in Earl's Court is a youngish Phoenix canariensis on the ground floor bellow her flat. I have never noticed it before (three years ago approx since I was around there). It seems to be doing ok, though not sure if it's being used as an "annual" or if it's a permanant thing. Its roots are probably being kept nice and warm down in the basement. Well there it is, bless TPT Im sure she ejoyed having it there.

Phoenix canariensis seems to be dying!
by Donatasgem- 3 replies

Hi all, I recently bought a Phoenix canariensis (Canary Date palm) from a local store (B&Q in the UK). It was reduced in price as some of the leafs were already dead. Anyway, I chopped off the dead leaves and left the green ones on, then planted it outside in a warm, sheltered spot (we have had a hot summer here in the UK this year) but it does not seem to be doing anything at the moment, I am not even sure whether it is still alive or not. I did read somewhere that sometimes the plant can be dead but the leafs still remain green for a while. I do water it every day now, it is in a good draining soil too. See the picture on what you guys think! …
