Chilean Palm Hybrid from California

I bought a Chilean Wine Plam Hybrid from Gary Gragg of Golden Gate Palms and Exotics in Richmond, California.

Awesome! It will be spectacular. I can’t believe it shipped from California. It’s huge. 🌴

I know... I'm so excited about this. Gary did a great job shipping.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Im amazed it made it!

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

It's in great shape! Super happy I got it

Absolute unit

Nice palm!!

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you. I'm always looking for what I don't have! It's a problem. :)

Incredible... Jubea Chilensis is on my list as well, and while I am growing a few seedlings my Butia x Jubea and Jubea x Butia are going to be where I get my in ground love. These are beautiful... congrats.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

And it's doing really well in its winter box. Definitely my favorite palm so far

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 I am 95% sabals here of all types but the three I have that will receive some basic protection during polar events are my Butia x Jubea, Jubea x Butia and one Butia I have. Although the butia has been left to its own devices even down to 10.6F over Christmas and while it spear pulled it’s already about to throw up a brand new spear. It has done this two years in a row. Beautiful palms! Maybe they’ll grow a nice chunky trunk before I leave this earth 🤣

@@sabalkingoftexas that's amazing. I have one big Sabal Palmetto I bought last year. It was supposed to be a regenerated one, but I ended up with a huricaine cut. It's still green but has not really grown. I am hoping it will take off this year. And I am probably getting another Sabal this spring. :)

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 I have plenty as you saw! Let me know if you need anything.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

@@sabalkingoftexas Thank you. I just brought back a bunch of Washingtonia Filifera seeds that I collected in California and they are sprouting.

[@palmdaddy]

Great palm, i received a small one in the mail and it has grown a lot since. IMO, more cold wet Tolerant than a pure Jubaea.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

It's such a beautiful Palm. So different from the rest I have. I'm excited. Now I just need to keep it happy

[@JT-ok6re]

That is gorgeous man! I want one too. I don't want to get personal but may I ask how much you paid for yours?

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

I just saw this message in KZbin Studio. Sorry I didn't reply. I can't even tell what plant you were talking about

[@marckenny3131]

A fantastic cross, far faster growing than pure Jub, plus very wind hardy👍

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

I really wanted a plain Jubea but I agree this is the better choice. Let's see how it does.

[@marckenny3131]

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 search out JBxJ ends up looking like pure Jub, but many of the benefits of JxB, faster growing than Jub and more flexible when it comes higher humidity climate and hotter climate👍

[@eijiroinouye4115]

It doesn't look like a hybrid

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Well I'm trusting the seller but you never know. I think it looks good regardless. And I wanted the non hybrid but thought it might do better in my climate. I guess as it grows we will find out.
