Bought these two for 20. At first glance before seeing the trunk they kind of looked like a queen palm. Is this a hybrid or a greenhouse/shade grown regular Butia.

Petiole has thorns so I would say it’s a butia

care to guess what type of butia? I got another one, but the leafs on that one i silver. Maybe this one just needs to get more sunlight to become silver.  Another question how long would it take for a butia of this size to produce fruit and can they fruit and become really big in a huge pot?

It will take quite a long time for it to get to flowering size.
