Reverse Foxy Lady Palm (Lady Fox: Veitchia arecina x Wodyetia) Anyone Else Have One?

I recently acquired this Veitchia arecina x Wodyetia (Lady Fox Palm) and am wondering if anyone else here is growing this reverse hybrid. I have a ten year old Foxy Lady (Wodyetia x Veitchia), as seen in third photo and I’m hoping the Lady Fox is a fast grower and hardy like the Foxy Lady.

    Looks like a bit of palm love was (literally) in the air. The original foxy lady was developed by the Australian grower Rich Trapnell of rosebud farm I do believe!

    This reverse cross was done by Seabreeze Nursery in Fort Meyers, Florida. I’m eager to see how well it grows here. 🙂

    I even had a variegated foxy lady, that is until a great big cane beetle got in and ate it from the inside. Foxy lady about the only hybrid I do like the look of. I admire the work involved in creating such hybrids!

    It will be interesting to see the difference between the two as time goes on . Harry

    Coincidentally, my own one just arrived this morning, seed and all, after a week in transit! Looks OK despite that. It will spend a lot of time potted before I attempt to plant it out. The first one I got was chewed in half by the damn squirrels! They didn't damage any of my other palms; guess they have good taste?
