    Excellent! how much trunk is that?

    What is your fertilize schedule, and what are you using? Water?

    Not from Patric.  I have both B. odorata x Parajubaea cocoides and B. paraguayensis x P. cocoides.

    Who else does this cross ? Are the prices pretty similar? I would like to try 1 but the price tag keeps me from trying. I rather spend on a JxS 

    Oh and beautiful palms by the way I know you have all the cool hybrids =)

    No, I was saying that most of Patric's BxP are not paraguayensis.

    Does anyone have an idea of the morphological differences in the hybrid bxp depending on the butia species?

    One would expect the B. paraguayensis cross to be smaller than the B. odorata cross, but my latter plant is much younger than the former, so hard to tell at this stage. 

    Hybrids are a crapshoot at any rate.

    Yeah crapshoot. A look at albertos bp x pjc tells me the trunk is thinner on that cross.
