I know its a local "invention",  Steve in So Cal has one I think.., wait maybe thats Keith Huber I'm thinking of. Also, the nursery only sells them on as 15 gal plants.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Edith Bergstrom has several Butia compactas growing in her garden in Atherton CA. They grow very semetrically and are about half the size of a normal Butia. They are really very nice and would be suited for a smaller garden. So far none of her's have produced viable seeds. Our last PS meeting was held at Edith's. Maybe someone will post some pictures of them as I know cameras were flashing everywhere.
