I have a local nursery where I buy mulch, primarily. The owner lives next door to the nursery. I have admired his Butia triple for many years, so today I asked if I could go snap a picture of it. The picture does not do it justice. It is pretty much a perfectly grown triple specimen in every way. Fabulous.

Just realized that shot did not show all 3 trunks, and too late to edit. Here is 2nd shot.

Here's another tall Butia here in Jacksonville, Fl.- Memorial Park (2 pics same palm). Notice the curved trunk. It would be even taller if the curves were not there.

Butias have to be my favorite palms...those arching fronds make me drool...too bad I let mine die :'( (Petioles and spear are still green, but the rest of the fronds are dead...) Oh well, it was diseased (fungus) when I bought it, and it gives me an excuse to replace it with a big healthy one in spring...;)

Butia "forest" in Galveston, TX. There are about 85 of these planted very close together in a grove near the entrance of a community.

Here's what has to be the tallest Butia I've seen in "person" anywhere. It is located here in Jacksonville , Fl., and is probably nearing 100 years old. Seems 40-plus feet tall. (2 shots of same palm).

Since there are a lot of pics from the Jacksonville area, I thought I would throw in a few pics of some larger Butia I saw last summer at Naval Air Station Jacksonville:

My little eriospatha growing among the lavender has been in the ground for 13 years! But it only started to motor once the the big Canary date next to it was taken out 3 or 4 years ago.

Since this palm was ID'd as Butia capitata in another thread, and since it was swooned over so much, I guess I would be remiss not to give it a place in the Butia pics thread.

This is truly beautiful.  Would love to see pics of it today.

Nice Butia pics from Naval Air Station. Those are many years old and should still have many years of growing left.

Nice B. Eriospatha. I've heard they are more cold hardy than B. capitata.

Not had any issues myself but I've read mixed reports on how they perform in oceanic climates compared to odorata despite coming from a climate which should be more similar. I think there is just a lot of variation. 

They're way less common here though. Most UK nurserys only stock odorata nowadays.
