I posted this by mistake in the freeze damage sub-forum, so I will try again. Let's see some pictures of this cross. I know some of you probably have plants older than mine. Purchased in October 2006 as a liner, potted up to a 2g tree pot and in the ground about a month ago.

Hi Jim

All my cocoid hybrids (except for Lytoagrus) are from Patric. I think 2006 was the first year he offered these, but not positive. Hopefully, it will have the grace of JxB with a slimmer trunk. I am not looking forward to moving this if it turns out to be a monster.

Hi Robert,

Here is a picture of mine from about two months ago. It has been a very fast grower and has very thick leathery fronds. It's interesting that my other hybrids have already gone pinnate, but not this one. Yours looks to be growing the same way. The two lower fronds were chewed off by rabbits.

And here it is apx one year earlier, just after receiving it from Patrick

I was going to comment that this was my slowest hybrid Matt. Your comments on growth are similar to mine. They also have much less base mass than my other hybrids and no sign of going pinnate (like my Syagrus coronata and sancona).

Actually gentlemen, if you got the plants from Patrick, it is correctly called Butia X Jubaea X (Syagrus). Originally we weren't sure who the mother was of the Bujubaea, but now we believe it was a Butia.

I have a Butiagrus X Syagrus, and it's gone pinnate. It has speaded up somewhat now that it has pinnate fronds, and is in the ground, but mine is planted near an Oleander hedge and is being crowded and doesn't get sun until noon. I gotta whack back that hedge.

I also have a Syagrus X Bujubaea, still not planted, and the two plants look somewhat similar, but I expect they will show differances when they get older. I expect they will both be large palms, at least as big as a Syagrus, and probably larger. With Butia and Jubaea in them, they should both be very cold hardy. Both of mine have sailed through 23F without a spot on the foliage. I expect they will take it much lower.

Hello Iwan,

I'm just curious how it looks, but do you have a picture of your Lytoagrus. I think these are fantastic!

Thanks!

I don't have any pictures of it right now. To be honest, it is an ugly little thing. I started throwing the first pinnate frond last fall in a 1g pot.

Thanks Dick, guess I don't have to worry about a massive trunk on this one. Hopefully it will be a fast grower and not block the walkway for long.

Guess this will be the great Dypsis mystery of to Cocoid world.

Did it survive? If so, how about an updated photo Robert?
