Trustandi 288 Report post Posted April 4, 2021 I have a tiny one from Patric. They are so beautiful, I don't think it's very common in our area. Even, Patrick doesn't have it for sale this year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best I could get from Patrick this year was a parajubea cocoides x Butia/Jubaea but it looks just as great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Collectorpalms 2,014 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I had what I Suspect was a jxs and a (bxj)xs, but both appear dead after this winter in Texas zone 8b. They had been in the ground about a decade. I had protected the jxs, but the one week of cold was too much. I have a 15 gallon jxs from a Patrick hybrid that I may plant this year or next. They look they look different than the ones pictured above however. I’ll post pictures post recovery. I expect my yard to not look presentable for three seasons....

I trunk cut them, I have trunk cut dozens of palms. The meristem came out, looked like the head of an octopus. One of them is tipping over. Froze at ground level. So there is a hole at the base of it. Your showing one that is small I had several that were very tall. When the freeze was over. One trunk started ooozing fluid and bubbles, it was a horrible site. I have used a lot of peroxide these days... I just had to trunk cut a huge Sabal Uresana today after it’s spear pulled. That how bad it was. It was so thick I had issues getting the chain saw through it. Edited April 5, 2021 by Collectorpalms 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collectorpalms 2,014 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) How low did you get? My thermometer read 4*F. This is what my (bxj)xs looks like looking down. The white you see is where the meristem base was. It looked like an octopus at the bottom when it came out. There is nothing but a crater in there. You can put a gallon of peroxide In it and it will run out the bottom. It’s hard to tell but about a foot wide. The same thing happened to two robustas I checked. It’s a hole inside. I can’t understand how the freeze did it, but it did. Edited April 5, 2021 by Collectorpalms Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
necturus 565 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 I dug up and replanted my biggest JxS. It is not looking great, but the newest spear and a couple other leaves are still green. Others turned white. If I had to do it all over again, I would've left it and covered the base with dirt. Oh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trustandi 288 Report post Posted April 6, 2021 That pudding hole syndrome is indeed horrific. @Love them palms oh I was hoping we would have that hybrid ( Jubaea x Para.Sunk) in the future. How big is the parajubaea x bj? Are you planting it in the ground? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flow 235 Report post Posted April 6, 2021 @Trustandi I was hoping for Jubaea x Parajubaea too, since I assume it would grow quicker than Jubaea x Syagrus in our cool summers, as is the case with Butia x Parajubaea compared to Butyagrus. The next best thing would be Jubutia x Parajubaea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben in Norcal 2,227 Report post Posted April 6, 2021 I can't remember which way around it is, but he's made the Jubaea/Parajubaea cross. I have a small one. Very slow, even in my heat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did lose power on the Monday after Valentine’s day- for about a day. Then it cycled on & off for four more days. I defoliated, heated & wrapped an acrocomia totai + all the Butia hybrids except one mule. The unheated mule froze. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
