Scott, these photos are great! Any chance of purchasing seeds or seedlings from any of these you might have?

Butia hybrids are my fav as it gives some alternatives to what I grow here in Houston.

What are the Butia's hybridized with? They look like my Butia/Parajubaea cocoides hybrids.

I hope to have seeds in about 1 month, if I can keep them from being consumed by rodents.

Steve, They are Butia x Syagrus romanzoffiana. I have had suggestions that the mother palm (Butia) may have Jubaea in its line (extra stamens are found on its flowers and the leaflets have hooks on the ends) I may never know. Scott
 
I still can't get over the look of that "lightening bolt", I keep coming back to this thread, amazing pictures and palms! Thanks

Michael, The "lightening bolt" look seems to pass on to the offspring as well. The 2 Mule palms I have fom this Butia also throw the look ,but not as pronounced. I gave a Butia offspring to a friend and it has the same "lightening bolt" look as the mother palm, and after 9 years it is 2 ft tall to top of its leaves :eek:. Michael if you are ever in the Tampa area stop on in. Scott
 
Believe me when I tell you next time I'm in that area, I'll be giving you a ring! I could use some coaching on hybridizing as well. I've already got some Butia's and Queen's planted right near each other :)
 
Here are a few pictures of a variegated Butiagrus I am currently growing.

And now the pictures of the offspring palm raised from Butiagrus pictured in post #4 above. This palm is 18 months from seed. Butiagrus palms can produce seed that can sprout. This palm will be relocated to new location this summer.

Now pictures of Bubutiagrus (Butia x Butiagrus) summer 2007 germinated. The look is not what I expected. Very glossy green leaves,very little to almost no stem fibers and so far leaves have windows ( on 3 non strap leaves ) I think I will do this cross again. I am shocked by the look so far. I used another Butia than the one pictured in post #8 & #9 above.

Here is a picture of one of my former Butiagrus that looks almost like a Coconut palm. This was my favorite looking Butiagrus. I still hope to produce one like it again someday.

Dear Scott,

i talked to you on Palmtalk.
Amazing photo's of very special hybrids! Especially the Bubutyagrus could be a more cold hardy variety/hybrid of a tropical looking palm. I really envy you and your palms. Also a big compliment to all the work you are doing in creating these palms.

Greetings from the lowlands of Holland,

Henri
 
Henri, Welcome over to Palmpedia and thanks for the compliments. Scott
 
Update: Raised from Butiagrus seed (see post #21) palm was relocated to this location in late Aug 08. Pictures here taken Nov 9,08.
