Bump...

...And an up to date photo of mine in the uk. Bought 4 years ago as a 5leaf seedling and had spent nearly three years in a pot and 1.5 years in the ground

I'm really pleased with it, it is getting going now and is a strong grower even here in the uk. It grows approx 4 - 5" of new spear a week during summer over here. The older, tatty leaves were greenhouse grown; the newer leaves are much more wind tolerant and the palm will look good by the end of the summer I think.

Would be interesting to see photos of others, especially an up to date picture of Gary's awesome palm

That is definitely the case for mine, it's producing roots like crazy but not much top growth yet. It's just creeping along. I've already got it in a 15 gallon because the roots were heading out of the pot at 7 gallon size. I am tempted to just plant it in the ground given how aggressive the roots are.

Yeah, mine seems to have no problems with humidity and is throwing out leaves pretty quickly--so far, all of them have windows--did everyone who owns this cross have windows in the leaf when they were still small?

No. Mine went straight from strap to fully pinnate.

Here are those windows I was talking about.

Interesting, mine never did that...maybe it did and the winds we get here in the summer just took care of the windows?

Ben, I think your correct. If they are protected from the wind it gives them a window like appearance. Unfortunately it will be short lived as the it goes vertical and experiences more wind.

nice pictures Andrew. Please keep us posted on your progress.

I noticed that yours looks like it has all the leaflets in one nice V plane like Butiagrus (but slightly different). Mine is starting to have leaflets offset each other somewhat towards the base of the leaf, almost like parts here and there are trying to act like queen leaves. Its definitely not full plumose but Im wondering if this is just a phase for mine or if it will end up having a messy partial plumose look...

It is time to call the palm groupers together for a meeting....

I do believe this palm needs a common name.

Awesome.thanks for the photo. Can't believe it has so much clear trunk already. The amount of fibre is a surprise I will imagine this will start dropping off to leave a bare trunk soon.

So I bought one of these hybrids from Patric in 2012, but it languished in its original pot until I bought and moved into my new house, so it was still only 3-4 strap leaves when planted in March 2013, here it is now over 9 feet tall. I covered it last winter when we hit 25oF with a loose sheet. This year it has seen several nights in the upper twenties and one night of 24oF, and it shows no sign of distress. What minimum temps has this palm indurred and come out ok? Also does anyone what to speculate if they think it will produce viable seed or would they be sterile, thanks

Craig.

Here's a pic of my Jubaea x Syagrus taken this morning, not a great pic. It's been in the ground since April 2013, so far this year it's seen 24oF and sailed through no problems. A 5 gallon bucket for scale. The tip of the tallest frond is just shy of 9 feet tall.

Very nice plant, similar to my JxS at that size. I will be very curious to see the variation in these hybrids as they all mature.

Thanks for sharing, Gary
