This is the beautiful Sabal palmetto var. bahamensis.  The seed that this adult grew from was collected on Harbour Island, The Bahamas many years ago.  It's quite similar to S. bermudana in many respects, although the inflorescence is different and seed size is smaller.  The trunk is self-cleaning and the leaf scars leave nice rings on the trunk.  Very cool palm!  To my knowledge, seeds have not been available in the past.  

 

This is the Butia I am calling "Florida Champ".  I've never seen one larger in this or any other state.  There's probably none quite like this outside of habitat.  It's around 100 years old, according to the owner of the house (and the house has been in his family since it was built over 100 years ago).  

 

An interesting side note:  While cleaning these seeds, I noticed that a majority of them looked like stones (no endosperm or embryo).  It's fairly easy to spot this once you have a few years of experience making Butia hybrids.  This is what the whole lot looked like after cleaning:

I could tell right away that there were a bunch of bad ones.

 

After carefully picking through them, here's all of the bad seeds, followed by what good seeds I was left with.

 

 

That's more space than I was planning on dedicating to a Butia, but I think it's a special palm.  I really can't say if it's just plain old B. odorata or not, but probably so.  I'm calling it "Florida "Champ" because, well...

 

Shipping is $5 in the continental USA.  I DO ship internationally!

Edit:  if your order requires a box and is more than 4 oz., I have to charge $6.  Most of you know how shipping has gone up again recently, but yet the service has gone down with USPS.  Funny how that works.
