Butyagrus hardiness

...and at the East side of the continent the sun rises in sea and put down(???´´se põe´´) behind the mountains.

For somebody that was accostumed near the sea in Europe this also will be disorienting.

I can personally support your Santa Cat. cold hardiness claims as my own Santa Cats. have proven themselves here as compared to typical Syagrus r.

Jeff, how long have you had Santa Cat. queens in N.C. and how long before they set seed??? Thanks, Jv

Hi everybody,

I'm one of the lucky customers of Nigel for this butyagrus and the silver queen from brazil . I just planted this palm last spring so I don't have experience of his hardiness. But I can say this palm grow fast, 3 new palms since april. For a plant just introduced, I think it's promizing !

Nigel, what I meant about the eriospatha leaves is that the ranking of their leaflets appears nearly flat quite often, from the few specimens I've seen in the US. I had one myself that was almost perfectly flat in leaflet ranking at a 5 gal size, until I killed it, probably from adding ashes. I'm never adding ashes to palm soil again. I have another eriospatha which is slightly larger with a shallow V ranking. I've seen pictures of "eriospathas" that were strong V ranked.

Jeff, do you have a pic because I have never seen this , perhaps in some juvenile plants there is a tendency. I agree with you about ash, it seems to lock the potassium up and the whole plant burns.

Not to be rude but you do realize this thread is 14 years old.

When I saw Nigel's name posting, I knew it was an old thread. I guess the nursery keeps him busy.

Haven’t seen Alberto in along time either. Time change and folks move on 👍
