Probably odorata then.  If it was paraguayensis I should think he would have been specific about that.  Interestingly, the latter has been far faster for me, and is quite a bit larger, which is odd given the mother plant's dwarf habit.

In an e-mail from Patric, he described it as an "Odorata mutt" which he was crossing with parajubaea cocoides, at least for the Butia hybrid that I was planning to buy from him over a year ago. 

Tank, just imagine what your landscaping is going to look like in ten years!  Wow -- so many great pictures here.  We should all bookmark this thread and check back in a few years to see the huge growth.

Two Phoenix reclinata x canariensis.  The one under the live oak will probably need to get moved.

Largest of 4 Sabal uresanas

Some yard pics.  Palms are slowly starting to fill in after 5 years

Nice.  I like the palms with the lush southern vegetation.  Just a completely different look from that you get out here.

Largest mule

That guy looks great.  I love the clean trunk and upright fronds.  Source and age?

I think its about 12 yrs old.  It came from Tim Hopper's yard, about 70 miles from my house.  He gave it away on conditions that I would dig it and remove it.  It seems to be happy in my sandy, dry yard.  Need to clean up some of the lower fronds that were damaged in the move, 3 years ago.  Was hoping to let the crown fill out a bit.  As what seems pretty typical with this hybrid, it seems  to slow down a bit once it gets to about this size.

The native sabal palmettos around your property are gorgeous too. I wonder how old they are because some are quite tall. They were presumably part of the original forest on that property, right?

That mule has such a surprising shuttlecock shape. Looks great! I've seen it before, but it's even bigger now.

Looking forward to a PRA at your place.  Incredible collection.
