So this palm is not new new, I had it in the ground since Spring. It is a Butia that I am planning to protect and hopefully do a good job doing so since I now have experience getting less cold tolarant palms (to my area) through the winter. 

Hi Dude,

looks fine.

Looks great! Nice color too. I purchased my first two only a month or so ago. Still in pots though, won't see the ground for another year or so. 

 

 

Cant wait to try my butia capitata that's potted currently. Wont be going in the ground til next spring.

Great colour indeed!

I hope you (and us all!) have a better winter to deal with this year.  I also planted out 2 Butias this past March that I grew from seed.  My first Butia is roughly the same size as yours.  The mother plant was a nice blue color, but this seedling is just now starting to show some blue on the petioles of the new growth which is a very light lime green!  Same story with the second photo - very blue mother but no hint of blue in this one (a bit older but almost dwarf-like).  Shows how variable these can be.  Fortunately I have a much larger Butia that is bluer.  It suffered some transplant shock from my move last August and is finally now starting to look normal again!
