RJ Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) OKay. So your BxJ croaked as well? I see it listed at the beginning of the thread but no mention of it later on, alive or dead? Edited September 7, 2019 by RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yabazid Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Bjxb still getting thicker and picking up height there. JxB here looking good and getting there slower but it’s much healthier than before. Lots peroxide saved it BJxJ is a fighter. Happy it pulled through as well. I am hoping these grow much more confidently in future winters as they pretty much established their roots in and perhaps thick enough 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yabazid Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hey guys i know I just uploaded the updates for the hybrids but I wanted to get some insights for the BJxJ crown. Please take a look at the following picsand let me know what you think. I will start again with the peroxide weekly I guess. It fuzzed so much I was surprised! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8B palms Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I too had this hybrid but it succumbed to the humidity after 2 years it was on a raised berm, I think more than 50% Jubaea linage in any hybrid in much of the southeast is just a struggle, a handful of people might have luck. I suspect if you can get them to a decent size 15 g plus, then maybe you have a better chance. I hope yours can get through this phase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolf Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Looks like the BJXJ has pushed out the damage. Yes the humidity tolerance varies depending on the genetic reassortment. A systemic fungicide would provide some ‘insurance’. Here’s on older photo of one I have in humid northern Florida: 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love them palms, you should post some photos here for all of us to enjoy their growth It’s been in the ground about 10 years. Planted as a sturdy but small palm (no more than a 3 inch base, maybe equivalent to typical 7 gallon size). Here’s a photo from this year, different angle: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yabazid Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Landscaper probably didn’t do better and thought he cleaned it up. I’d be upset as well but oh well! so what is f3? What is it crossed back with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorBold Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 As far as I know.. this is a Jubaea xbutia xbutia xbutia. Its somewhat slow.. but is becoming more massive every year. The leaves are getting huge..The palm was 85-90% defoliated year before last at 8-9f with a week of barely above freezing..(you can see damage from that still showing) but actually very hardy with leaflet discoloration to no damage any other year with temps in the teens. Im just bummed because it was still in recovery. Man.. Its pretty vigorous. Definitely faster than butia.. ( not sure about jubaea).. but becoming one of my favorites. I hope it speeds up a little.. im going to fertilize it like crazy now. Lol Before the rough winter... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC2Texaspalmlvr Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Wow I'm pretty sure I would be firing your landscaper. Those poor palms , the mistreatment they have endured =/ Haha kidding aside your F3 is getting real thick, we need a shoe or bucket in the pic for scale =) T J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabazid Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I did this collage to not have to post many angles and save space. This is after two weeks of treating with peroxide. please take a look and let me know what you think the reason for this yellowing. Thank you BJxJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardHolmes Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 What a great thread. Thanks so much for the pics. I hope to purchase a JxB for my zone 8b (barely) yard on the Outer Banks of NC. "Pindo palms" do pretty well here, but a few freeze every few years when we get a bad winter. How does hardiness compare to a "regular" Butia odorata?
