The first one looks like it has some Butia mixed in there....

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!

Thnkx Bill, i was wondering exactly about a possible butia cross.

This nursery has maybe 20 of these palms, i picked two and did not notice this before arriving home.

Now, as i am thinking about purchasing another one, i am wondering if there might be some other mules... :drool:

To my untrained eye, they look the same, with slight environmental difference :)

Lucky you, to be able to just pick these up!

May I ask how much they are?

Santoury has it. They are both pure Jubaea, but the first one was grown in less light.

Sure I would. Unless if you want to analyze every grain of dirt in each pot, and the exact amount of water each plant got for 4 years :) It may, after all, even be genetic variation. Just because two plants are under the same condition doesn't mean they will be carbon copies of each other.

So, do palmies prefer hybridization? Most palms open pollinate anyway right? Just like Mesquite trees.

The palm can just be around more plants and it'll stretch to compete. Also green houses have bright and dark spots too.

Raf:

How about a close-up of the bases of the two plants? And the leaves?

They look awful fine-leafed for Jubes to me, but . . .

I also think they are both Jubaeas. It does seem that one has grown with less light, and even in the same greenhouse this is possible if one is next to a large palm or a wall or something.

I dont see anything there to suggest hybridisation other than the stretched leaf which alone is too easily explained by other factors.

Rafael,

has your presumed jubaea hybrid more tender to the wind leaflets? Your answer would of great interest to me, because it happens to have the same case with two jubaea young plants growing outdoors next to each other for many years and so there is not the least possibility of different horticultural conditions (I will post pics asap).

Rafael, the other day some friends in Águeda asked me if coconut palms grew it that area. They said that there were some palms growing in a central park there that had small, tasty coconuts. Of course I went there as soon as I could thinking they were Parajubeas (rom the street outside the park the leaves looked like Parajubea cocoides),but they were not. They are Jubeas and huge ones at that. There are zillions of small ones growing around them. Check them our. I think the park is called Vila Velha or something like that. The palms are on the south side of the park. Have fun looking for them. Cheers Jason

No doubt about that. In a couple of days it will be planted and i will post it.
