On my way to Miami yesterday, I saw these 2 Phoenix palms at a rest stop along the Florida Turnpike. They are cool, whatever is mixed in there

Eric, some cool palms, I like the smaller one especially. Do hybrids run true to seed from the hybrid parent??

I agree with Rusty and Luke. The smaller Phoenix is a cutie. It should be called, "Little Hiawatha". :)

I love that little one. It looks like it has P. roebelenii mixed in there. I have looked at these for years and finally stopped and got photos.

There;s no such thing as a F2 Phoenix hybrid seed. All you get is a hybrid of a hybrid. Those canary x rupicolas are gorgeous! IMO date hybrids represent a huge, untapped market.

JD in the OC,

If these hybrids produce a viable seed, that is anything other than straight P. caneriensis or P. rupicola, then that's fine by me. :lol:

I can only imagine what a canariensis x rupicola adult cross would look like. I want one now:)
