Hi, Scott:

Congratulations! How did you manage to get that somewhat plumose form of Butyagrus?

Best wishes,

That's cool Scott!

Soon i will put together a gallery of the funky XButiagrus' that i have. I don't think i have one though quite like yours, i'll have to check. I have a large one in my back yard that looks 80% Queen. I have others that look weird as well.

You have a beautifull specimen there!

Scott,

Was the mother of your plumose hybrid a pure Butia or a hybrid? The only plumose cocoid hybrid that I've seen is a Syagrus X Jubaea cross. I have a Syagrus X Jubaea but it still has strap fronds. The straps are very wide and don't look like any other cocoid hybrid I've seen.

Scott,

It is very unusual to get a plumose palm from a Butia X Syagrus cross. Was it only the one plant or did several turn out to be plumose?

Dick, Of the seedlings from my 2006 cross this is the only one I have. The other hybrids went to others when they were small so I do not know of their looks. Here is a pics of momma Butia in flower.

I think it takes the fast growth from its fathers side. I hope for a massive trunk and heavy fronds like its father (pictured here) also.

Thanks for the reply... and two good looking parents usually equal a stellar looking offspring! Look forward to seeing future portraits of this beauty! Jv

Scott count the stamens in the photo

you have 8 ----- it suggests some Jubea blood or something else

You may have some other heritage effecting the appearance.

Best regards

Ed, The Jubea blood was suggested a few years ago by some. I just call the palm a Butia. Of the Butiagrus that I have from this Butia I have also found extra stamens on the flowers. I cleaned the male flowers off of this Butia this weekend to pollinate with Allogoptera arenaria pollen.Scott
