Butia x Parajubaea

[ErikSJI]

Butia x parajubaea seeds on the left. Butia X Syagrus on the right. I have read in previous post that these smaller seeds are no good however when opened they appear to be fine. Anyone know how long it takes to germinate the Butia X Parajubaea?

Erik the seeds smaller are Butia x parajubaea ?

I've found that most of the smaller seeds are solid wood and very few have a small single seed inside them. I still put them all down for germination, just in case.

Thanks for the info. Yes the smaller seeds are butia x parajubaea

Keep trying some of these crosses are long shots --- I went through this about 10 years ago

Thought I had sucess but just blanks -- Patrick in CA had some sucesses so it is very possible

It takes a while to get the technique and then you need the luck factore

Best regards

Well hopefully the larger ones will germinate. The butia x jubaea cross took really well. It seems the easier of the two to do.

Good job Erik, sow them suckers and we'll keep our fingers crossed!
