I got this plant from Dave’s garden of doom along with a pure jubaea last year I believe . Was curious if anyone had any ideas on wether this is hybrid or pure butia I have a hard time differentiating between a hybrid or pure butia . If so which butia is it ? This thing has really started to take off now

Definitely not a "plain" Butia.  If anything, maybe a plain Jubaea, but looks like a cross to me.

Wow, @JubaeaMan138 that thing's sure coming along. It was sold to me as a Jube X Butea cross, and it's definitely different from the other J X B hybrid I have. I think it was a J X b. capitata. It was the same type as the late Dick Douglas' relatively slow, coarser leaves.

SO GLAD to see it's so happy with you!

Now that I think about it I think I got this from you 2 years ago now. Planted it shortly after getting it here . It sat and did nothing and now I notice it’s starting to grow and looks great :wub:

If it has zig zag tips of leaves it is a hybrid! If it doesn’t it’s not!

It was Phil Bergman (Jungle Music), who had brought t light in a video the connection of zig zagging with hybridism. Personally I very much doubt about it.

That's a classic sign of boron deficiency in Butia.

Looks like a hybrid, but its a little more recurved than my (BxJ)xJ from patrick shaeffer.  I thought Dick douglas palm with those twisted recurved arresting green grey leaves was a BxJ.   But I know Dick had many hybrids including JxB.  Merill Wilcox had some huge JxB, very wide crowns and silvery/green color.  Here is my (BxJ)xJ, which I think would like less humidity.

thanks, not sure where to put it just yet, negotiating with the wife for a sunny spot out front.  It will have to be elevated to prevent excessive wet roots.
