MarkbVet 510 Report post Posted January 31 (edited) All this talk of hybrids makes me greedy... I am sooo tempted by Bismarckia nobilis, once i move to So. Oregon. Yeah, it's still zone 8-9....but it's a fairly quick growing palm especially when larger. I know I could cover / heat with Christmas lights when small, the challenge is when larger. Perhaps I could treat it as a semi-deciduous plant, kinda like a banana plant, and maybe just cut all the leaves off each fall when too large to cover, then wrap the trunk and apex + lights. It could leaf out in spring and maybe look good by summer? Probably not, unless it grows really fast. And the trauma of losing all the leaves each year might really stunt it, IF it lived. Hey, it's a dream ok. Those trees look friggin' fabulous. Probably will never have one. Edited January 31 by MarkbVet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trustandi 304 Report post Posted January 31 @MarkbVet I am not sure about the hardiness, there is no data about it yet. I am assuming it will be the hardiest mule. It survives but I protected it in the ground this year. The lowest temperature it has experienced unprotected and no damage is 27f in a pot in February 2021. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd expect the Jxb xQ to be hardier, just because the original mother plant was Jubaea, but hey, who knows? I hope you're right and this BxJ x BxQ is really good, sure looks cool (let's hope they tend to look like the one in your larger picture, VERY nice!) Looks like a lot of Queen influence as far as phenotype/appearance. Edited January 31 by MarkbVet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha sorry that pic is a bit deceiving, it’s only about 4-5ft tall. On a deck rail. And shot from low angle. I didn’t realize it looked like a 15ft BxSunkha til just now! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I've read that they are slow when small anyway... but pick up speed (moderate to fast growth) later...like a lot of palms I guess. Heat and sun would certainly help...my quandry is how to address protection when larger (and they do get large). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
