A fellow member of Pommy Palms (Gary Rethus) just posted these two pictures of his Butia odorata x Parajubaea torallyi var. torally F1, acquired from me. He's located just North of Portland, South West Victoria, Australia. First picture shows it planted in January 2023, second picture is 17 months worth of growth, May 2024. Judging by the looks of things, this hybrid is going to be a looker.

Sweet!  That's some excellent growth!  Hope your others blast off like this one!

    These Butia odorata x Parajubaea torallyi var. torallyi F1’s are really starting to look the business now.

    For those of you that frequent Facebook, I’ve set up a group called “Pommy palms”, where many of the palms I’ve seen since emigrating to Australia have been documented. If you wish to be a member, copy and paste “Pommy palms” into Facebook to view the page and click “Join group”.

    Will the seeds ne viable?

    Absolutely possible. I know some folks who have Parajubaea cocoides x Jubaea or the reverse, which came from Patrick Schafer I believe.
