Beautiful. ...will have to remember this B&B if we go on vacation there....sounds like a great spot. I assume you swam there in the buff .... lol....I mean com'on .... can't go somewhere like this without some skinny dipping

Very nice...screams tropics to me. The first cross was SxB correct? Was the second cross (SxB) x S or was it S x (SxB)? And was the same Syagrus used in the first and second crosses....the one above? Hybrids are always fascinating

Trying to figure out how to post picture with caption....guess I got it wrong....so I will make 2 posts. This "amate" is getting brown tipping inside...too much....or not enough....water?

Wow, looks very queen-like. So this is a (SxB) x S ? I know there had been discussion before about the hardiness of a reverse mule (SxB) but one would think that any Butia in the mix would increase hardiness even if it was only a few degrees. Queens up here the past winter (the coldest in 25...

Bennz, thanks for the reply. The discussion board doesn't have as much activity as I'm used to. I figured when PT was having all their troubles I would come over here and get used to things. Noted....what you said about the inland, North Island species having possibly more cold tolerance...

Where is the southernmost population of this species and do you think this population exhibits any more cold tolorance than populations further north? Has anyone ever collected seed from these individuals? I guess the same question could be asked regarding altitude and distance from the coast...

Ditto Keith

David I have a "filibuta" F2 for you when I get over that way. I got my MBA from FSU so I wouldn't be cheating.

I came close to trying A. cohune when designing my yard but was talked out of it by Ken. For one it gets so dang big , the tiny yard wouldn't hold it; secondly Ken thought the occasional freeze would keep it looking ratty most of the time.

Nice thread Eric. Any recent pictures of some of the other hybrid crosses you are experimenting with?

Alot of what you have shown will come back.....it'll look like crap for awhile though. Chinese get fried up here and pop back. All those phoenix will be ok. Lady palms...ok. All that 9a stuff will come back. Ti plants come back from the roots up here. Majesty will probably be ok too, same with...

I just realized this thread is 3 pages long......I think my question above has already been answered.

Very cool that you have a viable seed producing butiagrus. About what percentage of the seed do you think is viable.....maybe these hybrids should not be called "Mules" anymore. Great pictures.

Very nice coloration on that Scott, I wonder who sells these with a little bit of size in Florida?
