Hi Len,

I had several seeds damp off and only successfully germinated one all the way through. That is the one I referenced in my post. So the answer to your question is zero. If I don't sell this one the answer to your question will be 1 once I move to my new house.

Was hoping to see if they looked different once planted or bigger. Sure looks like a Queen.

I hope it isn't a queen Len but I know you have a really good eye when it comes to IDs. Unfortunately I did a poor job of germinating these or else I would have had more to pick from.

I am offering one of these for sale. I figured I'd list it here on Palmtalk first. It is seed grown. I acquired the seeds from Tim about 2 years ago. I'm sorry that other people had problems with Tim but my dealings with him were fine. I know some have brought up that it might not be a true cross. I can't attest to that and can provide no guarantees. If it turns out that this palm is indeed a Queen Palm x Queen Palm I would not offer a refund, so caveat emptor. All I can say is that I acquired the original seeds as the Syagrus R. X Parajubaea Sunkha palm originally advertised in this post, and the seeds definitely looked different than the Queen Palm seeds that fall from my trees. I have only 1 for sale. Price is $100. USA only. Photo is attached. Contact me at icebluecycads@yahoo.com if interested. Local San Diego pick-up would be preferred.

I sure hope you didnt sell that last one to TropicDoc?

He already got jipped $240 from TH.

If it was me I wouldve have just given TD the plant.

Best Regards

wasn't me

Patrick Schafer has been unable to cross syagrus with parajubaea.... I don't think it is possible. Maybe a butyagrus x parajubaea cocoides should be attempted.

If Patric can't do it, these seem likely to be pure Queens given the uncontrolled environment they were apparently attempted...

Nope I didn't sell it here. I thought this was a desirable plant but I was simply getting too much drama here and via personal messages. I realized it'd be nothing but headaches if I sold it to a palmtalker. It is now in the hands of a good friend who purchased it for a 6 pack of Ballast Point Grunion. I'll post updated photos here as it grows. If it turns out to be the real deal he owes me.

That was a good move and glad to hear it. If it turns out to be something, sweet - if not, no one feels "taken" by paying a hybrid price.

That would be a very cool cross indeed!!

I want to know if the hybrid from tim hopper syagrus rom. x parajubaea sunkha is fake or not?

Are you sure it's only a syagrus or not?

The consensus here is that. Tim's is not a hybrid.

Some people said the hybrid is different to a regular queen : faster...

Wishful thinking...

Ah, - what a wise choice

And for the othe hybrid of tim : jubtutia F2 x parajubaea

fake or not?

Who has a picture of this hybrid?

Who has a picture of this hybrid?

none for now, maybe in the future

Ok thanks gyuseppe.

But you think jubtutia F2 x parajubaea is not fake???

Is anyone has news or pictures from jubutia x parajubaea sunkha or syagrus x parajubaea sunkha from tim hopper???

In france it says that it's a grood hybridation but there are only little palm...

Sorry mate, not to be rough. I read your comments. Why you don't upload a pic from the ones in France?

How about some pictures of these palms 13 years later?

I'd say that this cross definitely worked in at least some cases, because there's at least one massive Syagrus x Parajubaea in Tallahassee producing F2 seeds and they are selling the offspring on eBay.

Check out that mother palm!

That's the same seller I bought my Jubaea hybrid from. I've contemplated purchasing one just to see. I've been to Tallahassee a few times but never had time enough to visit their nursery.

Was trying to compare that picture to the picture of the queen in my yard. Hard to tell, definitely has a very robust trunk.

Really hoping to see my Parajubaea torallyi flower some day so I can have some fresh pollen to work with.

Anyway, here's my big queen, ten years from seed. I tried to capture the same perspective for comparison of the pic above.

Yeah, comparing the two pictures, the fronds do show some differences.

Here's a picture of my still juvenile parajubaea torallyi as well...

Was the the queen used to make your mule palms ?

No, my big queen is not flowering yet. Hoping she does next year.
