Phoenix roebelenii x canariensis (Schafer)

[necturus]

Anyone growing this hybrid from Mr. Schafer? Or from anyone else for that matter? I have found that it grows pretty rapidly, but I would like to get a sense for its ultimate potential height/size as well as its cold hardiness. To kick things off I am including a picture of one of mine.

I have one, but in a small pot.  I am trying to see what it does before I put it in ground.  Space for any Phoenix is at a premium because you can't site them anywhere you need access, really!

[necturus]

Yeah, I hear you there. Anyone else?

I have another one that was growing in a pot in the shade until recently. It is more stretched out looking. I kind of like it that way.

I would guess that a canariensis x roebelenii would have a canopy quite a bit larger than the canopies on the reclinata x roebelenii in my front yard.

I have several roebelenii x dactylifera hybrids.  I tell you crown spreads a lot of the female specimens. Apparently s trait inherited from roebelenii, which is distinguished by sexual dimorphism.

Hello,

your hybrids looking vey well.

I do have two of Patrics r x c. One is more robust looking, one is more looking like roebelenii softly. I do have one pic from Summer with stretched leaves. And pics from winterplace. Same plant from photo in summer is now the plant with robust leaves. Potgrown in Germany. Not coldtested.

Your hybrids are stunning! I'm hoping for something closer to this rather than the reverse of my cross.
