Last I was seeking for Rhynchophora palmarum weevils between the fibers of my Butia x Parajubaea cocoides and I saw how messy the trunk was looking, with loose fibers, broken rotten leave bases and even a little yellow scorpion on it, I decided to give all my Parajubaea sunkha and BxP a ''haircut'' . Two different specimens of BxP

Dear Alberto,

Iam fan of well trimmed palms...first thing sunlight and air can reach the palm growing area better. Thereby reduces the chance of pest and fungus infections.And bats,rats,squirrels cant take refuge under their dried up leaves. And you get more of sunlight into the garden area so the top soil also dries faster.

Thanks for the visuals.

Love,

Kris.

Last year there were +- 7 fruits, but I didn´t germinate them. I´ll try again this year.

Hello Alberto.  Very nice!  Is the top photo Butia Odorata x Parajubaea Cocoides, and the bottom photo Butia Odorata x Parajubaea  Sunkha?

I hate to be a nuisance, but could you possibly post photos of the entire palm (fronds too) so that we can see how these hybrids take shape with maturity?  I can't wait! 

Thank you in advance.

Alberto, your Butia Odorata x Parajubaea Cocoides picture above is beautiful.  How old is it?

Similarly trimmed one today that’s not my aesthetic favorite vs. more relaxed-look siblings but it has an interesting curvy/swollen trunk base that others lack 🤔.  Thoughts?
