That Butia is by far the tallest I have ever seen a photo of.

I think they look kinda odd that size. Almost like W. robusta do when they're 100' tall.:mellow:

Cheers, Barrie.

Yes palmsOrl, this a very beautiful specimen, one of many here in J'ville like it.  I like the smooth curve and flare of the leaves out from the trunk instead of a sharp curve back into the trunk like some of them have. 

I wonder if it something they like about southeastern Georgia/ Northeastern Florida areas that enables them to grow this tall? Maybe it’s just because they were planted earlier here, on the southeastern coast, than other places. But I can’t seem to remember any bigger butias in older, southeastern cities along the coast (like Charleston, myrtle beach, or further south in Saint Augustine or Daytona.

Might be that lightning kills them more often in the lower sections of FL.
