While touring Bill's garden during the last PSSC, one nice palm in the backyard caught my attention (after the Lytoagrus of course). At the same time Steve from SD asked me if I knew if it was a hybrid and or what it might be. I have forgotten most of the details of the palm now, but it had purple or black boots and petioles. It was down the hill on the right side when standing on the deck. Anyone know what this palm is and/or have any pictures?

I think that's a butiagrus, or similar. Note Gary Levine's butiagrus thread.

How are the Phoenix and other plants doing?

You and your wife have converted a number of us to Indonesian food!

I get hungry every time I think about either of you!

Gary's thread and the purple petioles is what reminded me of that palm.

The phoenix are losing some lower fronds, but that is to be expected and my wife says they are doing good (I am on the road). I planted the large reclinata also and she said it was showing some shock (the rootball was completely dry when we removed it from the pot). I am sure it will take off though. I will post more pictures of the transplant, maybe next week. Glad you guys enjoyed the food. I look forward to our next trip down south.

It is a Queen Palm crossed with Lytocarium, hence the name Lytoagrus. I have an interesting F2 hybrid of that palm I aquired from Bill a couple of years ago.

The one half way (or more) down the hill is a Lytoagrus also? It is much larger and more tidy than the one in the upper lawn.

I remember it was a Syagrus hybrid, but don't remember the other half. Maybe Steve in San Diego will remember.

Kim, I am pretty sure that is it. I remember it being larger, but I am likely mistaken.

It's a lot bigger than it looks in the photo -- it was hard to get it in the frame for a photo.

Garys always in a hurry and didn't read all your post... :mrlooney: There is only ONE Lytoagrus at Bills.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
