Yeah, it's definitely not a JxS, but maybe another hybrid?

Could be, but I'm pretty sure that seed came from a Butia and not a Jubaea. Unless the original plant was a BxJ and it confused the collector. We would have to see mamma tree to know.

Just reviewing the thread and Andrew says it was collected from a Jubaea?  I see no Jubaea in that plant, and it definitely not a JxS.  You are right, it looks very much like a Butia to me, but if Andrew is right and it was collected from a Jubaea - I am not sure how to explain it.  There is no way it is Jubaea pollinated by Syagrus though - that would look vastly different.

I got this plant from Axel as a gift. He told me he got it off of a Jubaea mother. He also assured me that it was where no Butia were, proximity wise...  I am growing it as a J x S but I can understand if people don't think it looks like that. We don't grow Jubaea here so I am happy it is growing(fast too--way faster than a Butia grows). I have documented the growth on this plant so anyone can see the speed it is achieving. In the end, it comes down to trusting Axel, which I do--he has always been a friend to me...

Axel is a good guy at heart, and may well be a hybrid. Definitely not a JxS though. That would look very different - so different that it can't just be down to hybrid variability. Good luck with it, whatever it is! Keep us informed.

Well, if not, thats a bummer. But I will update, if no other reason than to find out what it is, eventually.

And be patient. He can take forever to respond but he will respond eventually! It took about a month to get my order, but you might get it faster. 

Good luck

For years I was not a fan of hybrid palms. Of course living in South Florida my choices of palms that I could grow were in the hundreds. If I lived in north Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, et al, I'll admit I'd have a forest of muleys going on. Especially the Jubea crosses.

Wow! I think this hybrid is going to become very popular from what I've seen.

JxS are without a doubt faster than a mule.  Both of mine have a growth rate almost on par with a Washingtonia.

I've been growing the JxS  in Dallas, Tx and then moved it to San Marcos, Tx last spring.  It is a stunning palm with the leaves being held in a flat plane.  The heat has not slowed the growth rate.  It has grown through months of +100* highs and occasional lows of 17* unprotected.  It's slower than BxS and (JxB)xS, but definitely faster than jubaea.  It's more cold hardy than BxS.  It had leaves 8' long before I moved it.  I've been growing this plant since Oct of 2009.  I'll take some new photos & post this weekend.  For some reason, the grasshoppers have a penchant for munching on the leaves during the hottest part of summer.

Just to quantify that my remark is in regard to all being potted palms inside a greenhouse, not planted outside.

JXS are is probably my favorite hybrid Patrick did. I have 2 in the grown and 1 still in a 5 gal that needs to shifted into a 15.

After seeing Gary's JXS multiple times I get excited when I see my little guys in the ground trucking away.

They look great Josh- look the same as mine did at that age.  All of Patric's JxS I've seen pics of look the same.

That looks like 100% Butia to me.  Too much armament up the petiole for a jubaea hybrid IMO.

Does anyone have a picture of the mother Jubaea that Patric uses in his cross?

When you say 'armament', what do you mean? I have run my fingers down the petiole and there are no thorns--just fibers. The fibers could be what you are talking about, but I don't grow Jubaea or Butia so I can't make the call...

Looks like a pure butia to me Andrew but who knows . It could look different with age. I'll bet that those fibers will turn to thorns down the road.

Those fibers will grow into larger thorns and they extend way to far up the petiole to be a hybrid.  A jxb won't have anything much past the "fat" part of the petiole.
