Coconut Queen Hybrid Palm?? (Syagrus romanzoffiana X schoffel)

[floridaPalmMan]

I just heard about this Syagrus romanzoffiana X schoffel hybrid  and was wondering if anyone had one or know a place to buy them.

Can't find seedlings anywhere

In Florida, check with Erik at Mule Palm Nursery.  They are making them now and he's selling seedlings.

I should have around 20 small ones available next month and about 200 in a few months.

They are growing slow right now. They should be ready in about a month hopefully.

S. schoffel is not a valid name.  I thought the 'coconut queen' was Syagrus romanzoffianum x S. schizophylla.  Please explain, thanks.

Not sure, got it from the website of this nursery: https://www.palmparadise.com/trees/palms/coconut-queen-palm

They call it a romanzoffiana X schoffel.

No idea where they got the schoffel name from because they say right on the site it is a hybrid with "the graceful look of the Kentia with the versatility and vigor of the popular Queen Palm" . Strange because the name of the Kentia is Howea forsteriana

So maybe it's a made up name by a vendor to sell more palms???

I suspect so. I've heard/read stuff about Moon Valley Nursery, their nosebleed prices and the unabashed hokum they spout. Is it all true?

[aztropic]

Yes. Moon valley makes up their own names (especially for palms) to make you think that theirs are better than any other nurseries;even though there is no difference. Unbelievably high prices,pressured sales.Tons of material though.
