I don´t like the taste of Butia microspadix. Pure B. eriospatha are delicious [apple/pineapple/banana]  a little crunchy and juicy. The taste of the hybrid is also ''not may taste''

Here are the similarly colored inflorescences of my Butia X Jubea growing in Dallas. The fruit was exceptionally flavorful and sweet.

Those are nice flowers also Tony.  Are those fruits mature or did they get bigger?  They seem pretty small compared to the parent plants' fruits.  Did you get viable seed?  I'm not familiar with this hybrid, but it looks pretty cool.  Alberto, did you make your own cross?  It looks good also!

My Butia erio x Jubaea aren´t flowering yet. I have a  Butia x Jubaea, offspring of Dick Douglas palm, that is flowering for some years.
