Chester B Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Jesse PNW said: That Jubaea looks a little Butia-ish to me. I know. No spines on the petioles and was given to me from the owner of one of the local palm nurseries who do sell a fair amount of a Jubaeas. Trunk in person looks different from Butia. It has also developed that bluish color this year. if you see videos of Banana Joe’s Jubaeas they are similar looking to mine. His are even more pendulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester B Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) I can say I keep looking at this palm all the time because I do agree it does look very Butia-ish. It puts out one frond at a time whereas I find my butias put two fronds out at once on opposite sides almost like a mirroring effect. I guess only time will tell. The other Jubaeas I have are all quite small so I don't have a good comparison. I have one seedling in the ground and its in full sun with very stiff, short fronds, that are only 3-4" long. Originally the fronds were 6"+ or so but it stopped putting these longer ones out immediately after planting. It looks kind of odd to be honest. This has been in the ground one year and did endure the ice storm unprotected. The emerging spear was damaged but it grew out of it, you can see it on the lower right in the first picture. The rest that I have all grew in the same area that I raised this palm and are more stretched. Morning sun/afternoon shade. These are blue ones, I'll try and post a picture later.

Scott W Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Y'all got me wanting to pay closer attention to my Jubaea now! To me it appears to constantly be putting up spears, and it's currently approaching about five and a half feet overall height. Guess now's as good a time as any to start documenting it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually remembered I did start documenting it in another thread but never have I counted number of spears per year. I'll count the current one developing as number 1 and go through Oct 1 next year.

Anybody know how many new fronds they can make per year? I'm guessing eight is real good but I imagine they can do even more than that when they get bigger and better rooted. I seem to recall it only made five last year. Can't wait to see what it can do in 2022. Looking good! It grew quite a bit this year. 8 fronds is really good. Mine will finish this year with 10 possibly 11 but not holding my breath. I dug mine out 3 years ago from my previous place & planted it summer of 2019. Like yours, it has been increasing the amount of fronds every year so we're in the same boat there. I bought it as a small 15 gallon from Jungle Music in 2010 & kepted it in the pot about 4 or 5 years which I regret. 1 Hesperia,Southern CA (High Desert area). Zone 8b Elevation; about 3600 ft.

Mine was a small 15 gallon in 2020 but I put it in the ground right away. Yours would be massive if you did that when you got it. Probably trunking size or close to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oasis371 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Jesse, I get confused by these two as well. I have one palm that is very confusing to me too. I thought it was Butia but it is sooooo slow compared to my Butias, and I think the leaves are reduplicate. What do you think? Tell me if you need additional pics. Then too, hybrids ARE out there.

No idea how much snow I'll get, a few inches is likely at least. I've got prior pics of cactus garden completely covered when we had 10-12 inches one year, smaller plants were just white buried mounds lol. Larger plants tend to lean and sometimes break if snow weight gets too much. Hopefully the tall cacti do ok, and my pindo palm-- this is the coldest it's had to endure so far. (I'm not worried about the windmill palm). All my potted palms will come indoors for a few days when it's down in the teens. Good luck and send pics!
