butia x polyandrococos

[meteorologistpalmguy]

Here is mine.  Obtained it in October of 2016 from Patric and it was just barely putting out its first pinnate leaf then.  Has exploded with growth this summer.

Excellent looking plant congrats! 

This will be probably best looking butia cross for sure

Whoa! Very nice looking palm. Did you plant it among pines for canopy?

It is planted among pines because I have little choice where I am.  Most of my lot is loblolly pine forest. The canopy will likely help in the winter, though I assume some additional protection will be needed for this guy.

Magnolia is a 8b/9a no?

Yep, right on the border.

Here's mine today

[Alicehunter2000]

This is an exciting hybrid ... will be interesting to see if the very flat plane of the leaflets carries through.

[Tropicdoc]

As of now mine have an extreme v shape to the fronds.... just like butia

[Josue Diaz]

2 years in the ground for mine

 

[Kenarr09]

Looks great Josue! 

Main is pretty chunky to next season I need to repot it in larger container for sure.

Mine is staying pretty low profile also.

Nicely done

One day I hope to see what the flowers actually look like on this hybrid.  Will it be more like an Allagoptera or more like a butia?

How did yours handle your cold snap last year? I would think this would be a pretty marginal palm for you. No?

Well, the plants sure look like Butia.  I'm not really jazzed by this cross; keeping mine in a pot for a while to see if it gets more attractive.

Not looking like a good cross between the two. I have 2 good size ones and I don't think they will make it into the garden. looks more like a stretched out Butia to me.

I covered it with a moving blanket. It did not suffer.

Glad to hear someone else feels the same...…..

Mine this morning. Butia genes are strong with this one.

Looking really nice! 

Main has much more blue colour than yours but you never know in to what will turn eventually.

Very nice! And it looks like your Bismarckia is really taking off too! Is that your Tabebuia (Handroanthus) umbellata among your agaves?

Mine's in full, hot sun and put on a good 6 feet of pencil-thin trunk this summer. If we're lucky we both might see some flowers next year...?

Yes, also a very nice Agave! Is this A. parryi var. truncata from Huntington?

Yes, this is truncata. Quite possibly one of my favorite agave for its color and perfect symmetry. It also forms beautiful colonies over time. My others being the ones in the victoria-reginae/nickelseii complex.

FastForward a year - it blends into the grasses with how thin the leaflets are

[Ben in Norcal]

I ended up giving mine away.  Just looks like a wispy Butia and I don't have room in my yard for that.

[freakypalmguy]

Here’s one, just getting ready to put it in the ground. Trying to find the right spot.

See now that looks a lot like a what was supposed to be a BxBjc I purchased from Patric. I'm thinking mine might not be a BxPJc and perhaps this cross....

Same palm today

[buffy]

This Palm is starting to develop some grace. It still looks like Butia, but it’s glossy green, petite and graceful. There are worse palms to grow.

What cold hardiness you expecting out of this particular hybrid ? Have you been protecting ?

Who knows. It's an F1. It was untouched by 20F this year.

That's pretty impressive I really think allogoptera should be planted where ever hardy palms are needed. My Allagoptera survived palmageddon with only frost cloth. All 5 spear pulled but 3 came back with little help.
