tank Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Finally threw down the cash for one of these a couple months ago and was hoping to plant it out in the most prominent spot in my yard as a centerpiece next spring. The large yucca that is planted there has finally succumbed to weevils and I decided to give this hybrid a try in its spot. This spot is also very exposed and will get the brunt of any cold we get. I can generally expect mid 20sF to upper teens every year in my yard. Any info on cold tolerance information for this hybrid is appreciated. Thanks!

Only problem was spear pull the first few winters, I think because the crown got wet before the freezes. Krishna, Thanks for the info. Would love to see a photo of your hybrid when you get the opportunity. As we discussed when you stopped by this spring/summer, ALL of my coccosoid hybrids seem to lose their spears the first few winters they are planted out and they all quickly rebound. The plant I received from Patric is much smaller than the other hybrids that I have received from him so I'm having to take extra precautions to keep it from getting destroyed by deer, squirrels, etc. Hopefully it will put on some size this winter in the greenhouse.

Mandrew968 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Tank, I also have one of these and am very stoked to have it. With such parents, I don't think where you are, will be much of an issue. I think we are all hoping for a palm that looks like Gary's? At least that's why I pulled the trigger on one...

Josh-O Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I bought 3 J X Q for Patric last year as small 4" bands.(they were very small) They got shifted into 5 Gal pots right from the start. Not only are they cold hardy they are speedy little guys. in 1 year they rooted into 5 gals and are now 12-14" tall. 1-2-3 blast off!!

Matt N- Dallas Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm growing one of these in Dallas. When small it had spear pull from a low temp of 23*. It's gained hardiness w/size. The leaves are 8' long now w/ approx 2' of trunk. It survived last winter's low of 16* and 72 hours below freezing- but I did have it wrapped with blankets.

Did you by any chance get it from Patric? If you can, pictures please! I'm in 8A as well and if its growing your way, then that gives me a little more confidence.

8B palms Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 So I got one of these hybrids from Patric in 2011, I planted it out in the spring of 2013. It has grown like a weed. I did protect it the first winter 2013 but not last year 2014 where the low at my house was 21oF. The tip of the tallest frond is now probably 10 feet tall. It has no over head protection at all and gets sun from 8AM-7PM in the summer. It appears it grows more between November and April, than during the dead of summer. There is a pic of mine in the link provided by Scott from SC at the start of this thread, its at the top of the 4th page. It has grown since then, the trunk has gained several inches in girth. I speculate this hybrid is hardy into the mid teens, similar to that of a mule. I also have the following hybrids from Patric; JxB, BJxJ, BcxPJC and BcxPJSunka. The JxB has grown very slowly but starting to pick up speed, the BJxJ has sadly languished in a pot and will go in the ground in the spring and hopefully take off. The BcxPJC and BcxPJSunka, were strap leafs and are in 3 gallon pots, I plan to let these get some size before planting out, the BcxPJC has started to send out its first pinnate frond. I also got a pure Jubaea chilensis to try, it was planted out this spring and has done OK so far and sent out 1-2 fronds. And we had a wet spring here in north central Florida so the constant moisture doesn't seem to be a issue as yet. I will try to get pictures to post here soon. I would love to see updates of other peoples hybrids, thanks Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicdoc Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The updates are great but..... I'm dying to see some pics. If he's got them I'm gonna splurge for 2 J x Q this spring. I'm curious as to the girth of the trunk. Gary Levine reports his is about 24 inches. Is that what everyone else is seeing as an expectation for trunk size.

8B palms Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) I just asked Patric for an up dated list of palms, he has strap leaf JxS for $150 and then JxS in 4" by 10" tree pots for $250, so they are quite the investment, and in zones colder than 9a probably they would need to be grown to a larger size before planting out. He did not say how many off each size he had. So that's the update with JxS.I am going to take some pics of my hybrids over the weekend and post, although other than the JxS most are small, thanksCraig Edited October 30, 2015 by 8B palms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8B palms Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) So I also got some pics of other hybrids I got from patric which I have growing in my yard. The 1st pic is my Jubaea x Butia, its been in the ground almost 2 years, it is slow, putting out maybe 2-3 fronds per year. So the sun came out so I took another pic of my Jubaea x Syagrus. The 3rd pic is Butia odorata x parajubaea cocoides and the 4th pic is Butia odorata x Parajubaea sunkah, both of these palms were small strap leafs when I got them a year ago, the Bo x Pc is trying to send out its first true pinnate frond, quite impressed with the growth from this hybrid. I plan to let these both of these get more size to them before planting in the ground, maybe spring of 2017. The 5th pic is my (Butia odorata x Jubaea chilensis) x Jubaea chilensis, it has been in the pot for about 2 years, you would not have even known it was there until I pulled all the weeds out earlier today, amazing it is still alive. I plan to plant this out in the spring next year. The last pic is a pure Jubaea chilensis, I got it see how it would hold up. I know they prefer cool and less humid weather and typically don't do well in the south east, especially Florida This was planted out in March of this year. Here in north Florida we had a very wet spring, so far this Jc is holding its own, it has put out 2 fronds this year, I'll keep people posted on the progress of these palms.

Zeeth Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Wow!! Awesome pics of your hybrids. The JXS is huge for Florida standards! It seems to be showing more of the Syagrus traits than the ones in California do. I wonder what it'll look like as a mature palm. It looks like it's growing pretty fast though, so I doubt you'll have to wait long to find out!

smithgn Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 8B palms- I love the pics, definitely keep us updated. All of us in the Southeast are still gathering information on how these hybrids do and threads like this are great. Your JxS has to be one of the bigger, if not biggest in the Southeast- unless anyone knows differently. I'm sure it will do fine in Gainesville even without protection going forward. I have one as well and I'm waiting on it to get some more size on it and see how it takes our winters here in central South Carolina. Mine of course is still in a pot and is growing steadily. I'm sure once I place it in ground it will take off like yours. Thanks for the pics and good luck this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I bought last year (Oct.) looked like yours until 3 months ago, then it started to accelerate. It has doubled in size since then. The second one I bought this year (Sep.) looks a little smaller than yours (much like my first one did the first ten months). You can see both palms here (as of Sep). The oldest one has grown 2 more leaves since then. I will try to post more pics this spring.Tom Birt - Casas Adobes, AZ Hi 67, Lo 53 - some rain Tom Birt - Casas Adobes - NW of Tucson since July 2014 formerly in the San Carlos region of San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
