I bought mine from him last year but I haven't planted it out yet. He said it's more cold hardy that a mule palm, so it should do alright here in the PNW.

Josue Diaz Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 There's a palm grower on the FB group that just posted free seeds from her jubaea that are likely pollinated by nearby syagrus. Can't guarantee each seed is a hybrid but with pollinators present, it's likely a good percentage of these would be hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtlesteve Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 5 minutes ago, Love them palms said: Placed my order I responded too, but wouldn't most or all of these just be regular Jubaea seeds? What is the probability that they will cross pollinate naturally from being in close proximity? It just seems like if it was this easy, they wouldn't be so rare. Doesn't matter, I'd probably just kill them anyways....I have tried both Jubaea and BxJ and can't keep the seedlings alive for anything.

But i get natural hybrids from my syagrus and butia which are planted near each other. When they're in bloom the inflorescens are a buzz of activity with bees visiting both palms back and forth collecting pollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasColdHardyPalms Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 @Laaz That Mississippi place is buying Patric plants and other California plants and reselling them. They have made their own mule seed though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laaz Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Didn't know that. They make it out like they are doing the crosses themselves. Prices aren't bad either. BxJxQ for $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasColdHardyPalms Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Yea, they are misleading on purpose. I sold my last three BJxQ 15G for $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love them palms Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Well at least I got a butia pindo blue x jubaea yesterday off of ebay so I will settle with that for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasColdHardyPalms Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I hate to tell you but those are just straight pindo. I purchased a few of these years ago and they are an extremely overpriced butia. Ask the seller for the stamen count on the parent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmensammler Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi all, I'm not using facebook (sorry but I'm a data safety officer) so would it be possible that someone from the US places an order for me there ( https://m.facebook.com/groups/909926945737519?view=permalink&id=1999819886748214 )? I will send the shipping details and do payment via PayPal for sure. What would be a good number to get really hybrid seeds? I'll become crazy without these hybrids but plants are impossible for Europe without certificate. Thanks Eckhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasColdHardyPalms Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I wouldn't pay more than jubaea price for that seed. Jubaea right next to butia produce less than one hybrid plant per 1000 seeds germinated in my experience. Ive only had 4 hybrids out of 5000 jubaea seed germinated. They are rare but easy to spot after a year. I do have fresh, real 7-8stamen bxj f2 seeds available right now. Just finished cleaning them two weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlesteve Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Joe, what do you get for the BxJ seed? Unfortunately the seedlings I got didn't make it. Probably my fault (humidity / overhead water issues) but would consider trying again. Hoping the JxS hybrid becomes more available as rumors so far suggest better moisture and cold tolerance Edited September 25, 2018 by Turtlesteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
