_Keith Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Best give that yatay mule some room. It is the fastest growing hybrid on my property. It got big in a hurry and I gave it no special care. Excellent. Lots slower than the BxPJC according to Patric, however. I guess I need to break down and get a BxPJC when the budget allows.

He has both regular odorata/capitata and paraguayensis hybrids, if you are looking for a smaller plant.

smithgn Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Awesome! Who is patric and how can I get a hold of this fella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicdoc Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Man that pic of Patricks b x Parajub is off the chain! I wonder if that is odorata or Paraguayensis. I have 2 paraguay x cocoides from him. If they will end up like that one, they will win out for the premium poolside spot on my new lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh-O Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm really fond of my Jubea X syagrus. I can wait to get it in the ground. Also my yatay X Q, Butia Poni X queen, Yatay X Jubea, Jubea X Butia Viroel blonde, and Bx PJC are all making strides here in San Diego. They are all in 15 gal pots except the JxQ is in a 5 gal and all are growing fast.

Tropicdoc Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Ben, do you know if that pic of Patrick's Butia x Parajub is odorata or paraguayensis? It is a gorgeous palm. I have 2 of the paraguayensis hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben in Norcal Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't know, no. All I know is I have both - so I'll get back to you on the differences in 5 years.

Ben in Norcal Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Ben, how many hybrids do you have in your garden? 10-12 in ground, of various cocoid types. More in the greenhouse and working on germinating some as well. All fun stuff!

Josh-O Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I agree with Keith. I bought a small seedling from patric last year and now it has completely rooted out a 15 gal and is 4' tall with a pretty fat base.

Tom in Tucson Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 So awesome! I would not try a BxPJ in my climate (I wish).. but I would attempt a yatay mule from some of the info I have been reading... They are going to be very nice additions. Thanks man! It's my second Yatay mule. Now I just gotta figure out where I am going to shoe-horn these guys in. By the way, guesses on the age of the large BxPJC above? I'll guess 3 years. I bought a BxPJ Sunkha from Patric on Oct. 30. I'm hoping it grows as fast as yours (whatever speed that is).

Ben in Norcal Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Not quite that young. But it's only been in ground 5-6 years there - so still pretty amazing growth.

Tropicdoc Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Gosh, I looked at Patrick's picture again and I am starting to wonder why I am trying to grow any other pinnate palms in 9a.... that thing is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
