Mandrew968 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The odorata/capitata is the same thing. I think Patric calls odorata, capitata, basically - so we have the same mother for that plant. More broadly, I think it's about what he has access to, of sufficient maturity. He's working on some new crosses that are in a stand around the corner in Concord, NOT on Dick's old property. So perhaps in a couple of years there will be yet more interesting seedlings to try based on that. Odorata and capitata are NOT the same palm--people might use both names to describe what used to be capitata, and is now named odorata, but scientifically the two palms are distinct--the common palm all around is odorata--the real capitata is much smaller and has a different seed shape.

Sorry, but I didn't say they are the same species. I said what Patric calls a capitata is an odorata, i.e. Patric (not me) refers to them interchangeably. Just to clarify.

smithgn Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 It's exciting when seeing an oblong(ish) box outside your door, that's for sure! Nice character leaves already showing. Do you have any mule palms? It'll be interesting to see if there are any differences between a mule and this. From what I know, Yatays have a different color at the leaf bases? Is this correct?

sashaeffer Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Yes, I do have a 3 gallon Mule from Eric and Mule palm nursery. I got it late in the season though so it's in my green house. The two palms do look similar though but I'm sure it's the "queen" part.

sashaeffer Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Well....I have to keep it inside the living room until spring so a 15 gallon won't work. Now, if it shows where it's been filling the 1 gallon pot it's in then I will probably buy a 20 gallon tub and plant it in there. They are cheap and have handles on the sides so makes moving them in garage a lot easier in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithgn Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Wowsa! Tropical, indeed. What will you do once they start getting very large? Does your long term plan include putting all of these that you keep inside, outside once they reach a certain size? If you ever do need a copernicia (alba), I know a place to get it for a decent price. I bought two of them from a vendor in central Florida.

8B palms Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 So I have several of Patric's hybrids, they always arrive incredibly packaged. I have 2 Jubaea x Syagrus one is still small and in a small pot. The other is planted in the ground is almost 9 feet tall in 3 years from 3 strap leaves. I also have a Jubaea x Butia, Bujubyagrus and Bujubia x Jubaea. This last hybrid will be planted out in the spring. I live in a solid 8B most winters, new maps have it as 9A, but I trust 8B better. So far this winter I have seen several nights in the upper 20's and one night of 24oF. My Jubaea x Syagrus showed no signs of any issues. So I am curious to get peoples opinions between Butia odorata x parajubaea cocoides (Bo x Pc) and Butia paraguayensis x Parajubaea cocoides (Bp x Pc), with respect to cold hardiness. From what I can determine the Bp x Pc is less rigid in frond detail and more coco like, but would its ultimate cold hardiness be less. I'd be curious to get other growers experiences as I am trying to decide which one would be the pest fit for my zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicehunter2000 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes...I am in similar boat and would like to know the same. On paper BP is an overall smaller palm.

Ben in Norcal Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I believe Patric's are all cocoides. I think it's a matter of what is old enough to be providing pollen around here (e.g. Dick's tree, maybe Darold's old tree ??? - both of which are/were cocoides.) With the Butia in it, they are still pretty bulletproof up where he lives even...which was his original hybridizing goal, I think.

Slow growing (doesn't grow much during the hot months) but does well, tops of the leaves are just now reaching about 5.5 ft and it seems to be picking up speed. Seems to be about as hardy as a queen palm for me. Never any problems with it! People kept doubting it would survive long term for me but at this point I can't see what will kill it as it survived 2010 and the extremely rainy summers we've had since then. FWIW I planted it slightly raised in a sand/limestone/granite mix but Im sure by this point its roots have gone away from this. It is planted near some concrete structures so it may be taking advantage of the soil changes around it. -Krishna Kailua, Oahu HI. Near the beach but dry!

Xhoniwaters1 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 My personal experience with sunkah is that they are more hardy than a standard queen. After the blast of last year into very low 20's it had a spear pull but the rest of the foliage seemed to have very little damage. Came back growing again in the spring. I had a canvas grill cover over it the coldest night but no supplemental heat and really think it didn't help much because the wind was howling that night and is in the most exposed area of the yard. Pretty much all of the queens around here died after last winter. I had one 5ft queen in a sheltered area surprise me and come back from complete defoliation and spear death.

Or does he have access and cross torallyi and sunkha as well? Krishna.....your growing P. sunkha? From what I've read around, by themselves Torallyi is the most cold hardy head and shoulders above the rest. I've read good things about sunkha's cold tolerance and then of course cocoides is almost unanimously the least cold hardy. BUT... With hybrids, it's pretty common to note that the palm usually takes after the female- yet its characterstics and look can vary drastically from one palm hybrid to another, even if it's the same parents. Is there a possibility that this could be the same rule of thumb for cold hardiness in these hybrids? Hopefully they're consistent all over the board...

tank Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I had P. sunkha in the ground in Gainesville for about 3 years, although it really hasn't been tested.

Sandy Loam Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Perhaps, in part, Patric has been using parajubaea cocoides in his hybrids because it has a slimmer trunk than parajubaea sunkha or parajubaea torallyi v. torallyi (especially thick trunk) and its fronds are a bit more coconutty-looking. It also gets quite tall as opposed to "stout", based on the photos I've seen. I always assumed that cocoides fronds were less frost-hardy because they had a more tropical look. From what I have read and gleaned, we can grow parajubaea sunka and torallyi in my region of northern Florida, but cocoides would not survive our occasional overnight freezes. I am amazed by how popular Patric's hybrids seem to be on PalmTalk, even in regions where you don't need to plant anything cold-hardy at all. If l lived in coastal Orange County, CA (like Josh-O), I would be able to grow almost anything except the true humidity-loving palms like cocos nucifera.

buffy Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 My experience with Butia X Parajubaea is poor. Mine gets bad leaf damage from heavy frost and defoliates under 25F. It seems like it has received none of the hardiness from the mother. The form is very much a mixture of the two. Again, hybrids are a mixed bag. Some specimens are great, some suck. And that's in the same set of seeds. My Jubaea X Queen is a relative snail, while my Yatay X Queen is a rocket. None of them like wet cold in the teens. Patric's Jubutygrus was a turd (not because of him), but Tim's Jubutygruses have been pretty great. You just can't tell until you get them in the dirt and let them run.

Kailua_Krish Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Buffy, how large is yours? Mine did the same thing for 3 years then has suddenly decided to live and grow quickly. For some reason the fronds have become hardier too. No idea why this has happened with this cross and not the BxS.
