My friends have given me a Butiagrus. Is it 100%?

My doubt is because of the pinnate leaves, which it does not have, but it may be young.  Can you decide if it really is Butia x Syagrus?

It's hard to say at that strap-leaf stage, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be Butia x Syagrus.  Those long thick strap leaves are typical of both Syagrus romanzoffiana and the Butiagrus hybrid.  Probably will go pinnate in the next year.

It has cost $40, so I hope it is not just Syagrus.

By the way, with this size it can withstand light frosts of -3°C?

I wouldn't risk it - especially while it's still in a container.  Next year it will be big enough to put in the ground (if it's not a Syagrus) and it's advisable to protect it from frost its first year in the ground.  Where are you located?  Hopefully it will turn out to be a hybrid mule and not a $40 queen seedling!

Yes I agree.  I have two that I got that were originally smaller than that one, and they looked identical at that size.  I would think the next frond or the one after will start to differentiate more.
