Butia eriospatha x Syagrus glaucescens

[Alberto]

Since RPS is selling this seeds now,I´d like to know who else have seedlings of B.eriospatha x S.glaucescens.

I really hope there will be a lot of this unusual Butyagrus growing around the globe in the near future!!

I´m really curious..............

One came up for me last night.

[Nigel]

I know one thing, they are EXTREMELY root sensitive unlike Butyagrus. I had 4 come up in a communal pot and transplanted them and 3 promptly shrivelled up.

I had the same thing happen with plain old B. eriospatha seedlings - must be the maternal influence!!

I also had four B. e. x S. g. sprout so far. One quickly died before it was a week or so old, one is trying to decide if it likes me, and two are healthy. I too have had trouble with Butia eriospatha seedlings. Probably because I have no trouble with other Butia's and so tend to not give them as good care as with other more valued seed.

[Matt]

Here is a pic from some of my seedlings. Very good germination rate. When the weather gets warmer I will tranplant them. Thanks Nigel for your warning, I will do it with extreme caution, don't want to lose these!

[buffy]

Mine thankfully lifted from the germination media when the root emerged so that I could pot it up immediately with low stress.

[Nigel]

Matt, they have a very thick long initial root much like Syagrus glaucescens ,its also very brittle like SG. When you tip out those seedlings from that pot as I did, they will break at the ends and die. I think the soil needs to be washed out carefully with a hose.

Nigel is the Butia specialist !!! I really cannot say anything about differences in tap roots of Butia and Syagrus glaucescens. Very interesting that it inherited this characteristic from its " dad" :Syagrus glaucescens!

Alberto,

Any updated pics of your seedlings? How do these look/ feel compared to other butyagrus seedlings?

Is it Butyagrus or Butiagrus? I always forget. I remember there was a thread on the naming convention for this hybrid.

Thanks!

Jason, you are not alone! I have also wondered what to call the Mule palm. I have used both to make everyone happy.

I too am interested in checking out his seedlings, i think that is a very special cross!

[zootropical]

Here in south east of France two germinated this summer. Do you think seedlings may be keep in warm place this summer or can I keep with others in my greenhouse (above 32°F)?

Thank you for this wonderful hybrid!

Any updates or pictures of this hybrid would be appreciated .

Hi Ed ,sorry for the (very) late answer!

Are you still comming? You´re welcome here and maybe can get a seedling from me?

I´m very curious how the little B.erio x S. glauc are doing ? please can you show some pics.

I certainly will try to make this hybrid again.......

:-( Sorry to hear this! Also curious to know which was the minimum temperature. Did you had any other losses in the garden?

[Bananengeknl]

Mine bigst one is also died  I just have now 16 seedlings 

[buffy]

I got cute with a space heater on a cold night and burned it bad. That damage plus some other cold and stress knocked it out. It saw low 20s with ice and wet snow.

A little palm for it´s age. Mother Butia was beginning to fruit at the age of 5-6 years. I´ll transplant some of my palms B. erio x S. glauc to places where they can be seen in the garden.

I'm still dreaming for one of those 

Very Jubaea looking cross which I love it! 

Are you attempting to do again Alberto? 

[Alberto]

Yes I collected S. glaucescens pollen that is frozen and the butias are flowering now. I´ll try again on a very silver B. catarinensis

In the past sold seeds to RPS. My son also sold seeds. Donated some to EPS. I have also some surplus mature plants that I sell here .
