Palm I would never plant... the butter palmetto

Hello ... This is the evolution of my garden... 2005 2006 : May 2007 : Today

On what planet?

In Italy there are a little number of old Jubaea Chilensis, in Tuscany a friend of mine took this picture: Do you think that the plant on the right is a strange Jubaea or just an hybrid? maybe with Butia? thanks Federico

I will make new pictures in April...

My palm collection : http://asie.online.fr/palmiers/index-palmiers.html

Hi ! My collection started in 2007 in North Thailand is on the good way... Now, I have 682 different species... If you have some seeds / seedling I don't have in my collection, please let me know by PM ! Regards, Philippe My collection : http://asie.online.fr/palmiers/index-palmiers.html

That corypha is lovely. Seems like a size M for gardens - must have grown fast too.

i was thinking about this the other day when someone said d.lutescens are "weeds." take a good look at one. its got alot of cool features.its pinnate,which most people seem to prefer. it has a nice whitish color to the crown. it has tomentum that can approximate the "mealy bug" appearance of more fashionable dypsis. at times it has a spectacular red emergent leaf spear. it grows well in most palm-growing climates.if this palm had never been discovered until now it would be all the rage & everyone would want one. anyone is certainly within their rights to plant whatever they want in their own garden,but it is a matter of pure subjectivity as to how desirable a palm happens to be.

Vitiense,,,here is a current pic and a updated pic of one of the Talipots and this little guy is doing well

Butia x Jubaea or Jubaea x Butia ?

Do i detect Palm Snobbery ?? My garden would not be the same without my Coryphas or Metroxylons

Dear Kumar You are right,and in my experience i have seen that those who have lots of free garden space love to grow coconuts & royal or travellors...And even when the corypha saplings were given free to them they refused to grow them,saying that they looked ugly,monsters and would not yield anything edible..And nobody wants to grow them in the city ! Love, kris.

Beautiful Glad i did not visit that place....If not it would be very hard for me to part from that place....Since all my loved palms are there in full growth. Thanks for posting those stills in big size. Lots of love, kris

Some more information : When I bought this palms, there were another 5 for sale... All the same curve (at base of the trunk), same roots (outside, on soil) and young leaves are purple... For me sure, it's not E. olearcea Pilou (http://asie.online.fr/palmiers/index-palmiers.html)
