Swolte Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Impressive Butia! How long have you been growing that one?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehrenbruder Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I planted it 11 years ago with a 50cm trunk. Its an Butia capitata and this is how i shelter it in winter. https://ibb.co/Y01736T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehrenbruder Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 We have also a few big Butia Yatay in a amusement park called (Phantasia Land). They have hunderds of palms and exotic plants there. Sadly most of them died over the years. https://ibb.co/TW45Cmk https://ibb.co/r4LC2tq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though this is an international palm forum, there are still members living in Germany (like me) to uncover your untruth. I hardly believe that there are two large Butias of this size standing in front of identical-looking houses in Germany. In reality, this Butia is located in Freiburg, 600+ km southwest of Hamburg. And here are a few links from different german-speaking exotic forums, all claiming that the Butia, well-known among enthusiasts, is actually in Freiburg: http://trachy.eu/cgi-bin/archiv.cgi?function=2&index=179AE99BB394999C https://www.palmenforum.de/viewtopic.php?id=5033 (post #12) http://palmeundco.communityhost.de/t375529912f149700153-Butia-capitate-in-Freiburg.html (post #14, post #15, post #40, post #49) http://exotenfans.eu/index.php/Thread/8068-butia-capitata/ http://www.exotenundpalmen.de/t2525f7-Wegen-Bilderrechte-Freiburger-Butia.html (#post 1) If I am wrong and there are actually two identical-looking houses, one in Hamburg and one in Freiburg and both with a large Butia infront, then I will apologise for the misunderstanding. But otherwise, I can only tell you that this is not a good start into this forum. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hortulanus Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 I know this Butia it's very well known in German forums and it's located in Freiburg. 1 1 2023 High 27.3°C Low -3.9°C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
