Nice the only one i don't have. I assumed, that cross was the least hardy ? How much sun does it get ?

Beautiful palms! How much cold have they seen? Do you protect them? Any cold damage?

[Tropicdoc]

They are all butia x parajubaea cocoides

they have seen 18 F with no damage 

they got a good bit of damage this winter at 24 but with sleet

I had cocoids but it croked in a pot last year, no idea why. Still have the other two. Hard to tell but what would you say the span (diameter) is on these. Have a spot picked out but now I'm not sure they will fit 🤔

Man I'm starting to think I need to try one of these,  so I can have all 3 hybrids.
