Hyophorbe Cherry

[AndyR]

Went on a nursery run through the Sunshine Coast today and managed to acquire a number of stunning specimens including a Dypsis Cabade X Leptocheilos in a 200lt bag AND this Hyophorbe Cherry...

Serious WOW factor!

this palm looks like a silver lady to me. bottle x spindle. we are getting ready to do the cabade x lepto in the next couple weeks if our trees are ready at the same time.

Great! Please keep me in mind when/if you are selling seeds. Such an amazing plant...

Sorry,

What is a Hyophorbe Cherry? a special H. lagenicaulis bearing fruits?

BTW: the horizontal pics have a bigger size than the vertical pics, so I prefer watching these and turn my head, these palms are really stunning!

Philippe, I was about to ask that same question. It looks kinda like a bottle/spindle cross.

Here ya go Andy gorgeous palms!

Thanks Dude! Can you help me with what to do to avoid this and I'll repost the large versions too...Thanks.

[AndyR]

I've sent a note to the bloke who sold this to me. As I understand this is a consistent Hybrid and bears fruit of the same plant. So yes it is a Spindle X Bottle and for me keeps the lovely traits of the bottle and the consistent form of the spindle - a perfect match!

I'll repost if he replies with anything different to this...

Andy...beautiful palms.....are you taking picture with a smartphone?....if so, you can avoid the sideways pictures by taking picture in horizontal position with the camera button on the right.

[AndyR]

No with an SLR. Like I said they appear the right way around on my computer but come our horizontal after uploading!

Here's the Dypsis Cabadae X Leptocheilos

Note how this one has canes that are dividing into 2

MAIN PIC WAS TOO BIG! Will repost later....

Andy,

it seems you found a good nursery, thank you for posting pics of these hybrids.

Will you show us your garden with these palms soon?

[Peter G]

Well done Andy, you seem to be going through a hybrid phase over the last few weeks!

I'm running around like headless chook right now and when I find the time I'll join the IPS so I can post a gallery... mind you, I'm still making up for lost time so cant promise much of a palm legacy just yet!

[AndyR]

Well done Andy, you seem to be going through a hybrid phase over the last few weeks!

YES. not much of that action when I started getting an interest so makes sense to find new species in unusual ways!
