The Jubutia - A Hybrid Palm

The Jubutia, a hybrid palm between Jubaea Chilensis and Butia. This one is crossed with a Butia Yatay but other Jubutias may be crossed with other Butia species.

Great video thank you. I learned more than one thing

That is Hardier than a Butia too. From my experience of growing Butia they are a short term palm in zone 8b areas along our Pacific Coast. They are prone to center spear loss after a bad freeze. Jubaea is king of the frost beaters for pinnate species. Butia is only long term in the mildest regions on the islands

Awesome palms! I just received 4 from Patrick… BJxQ, BxParajubae Torallyi, and 2 butia yatay x jubaea. Waiting on shipping costs for 5gal jubaea x yatay, and a 4x12” Bx Parajubaea Sunkha. Nice video 👍🏻

Thanks. I am in North Van so yes a cool wet climate. I will have to try one.

[@palmdaddy]

that or pure Jubaea...both are good!

I have a Jubutia too. Mine is twelve years old and I bought it as a single spear seedling. The last couple of years, it's really started thickening up and is a little smaller than the jubaea you have there. It's survived -10c (14f) without a slightest issue. I've kept it in a pot as I have moved several times and it's become part of the family..btw I live just north of Manchester which has a similar climate to western BC

Awesome! Great to hear! I’m Looking forward to watching this one grow! It is now planted in the yard. :)

How are hybrid palms created? I wonder if someone could make 'create' a hybrid between a pinnate leaved palm and a palm thats as hardy as a Trachycarpus Fortunei, it would be interesting.

[@palmdaddy]

Similar type palms are cross bred.. not sure a palmate palm Could be crossed with a pinnate palm..

[@palmywtaczanowie]

In this case, you can cross palms from Cocoseae tribe (butia, jubaea, parajubaea, syagrus, cocos, polyandrococos, etc.)

[@dz1515]

How long have you had the cross specimen? In your experience, does the hardiness match that of a pure Jubaea? And does the speed match that of a pure Butia? Or is literally in between both species (I.e, not as hardy as Jubaea but hardier then the Butia)

[@palmdaddy]

It may be too early to tell, it seems very hardy but still slow to grow. I would give it a few years before I could tell for certain of its traits.

Thanks for sharing, I would love to get my hands on a jubutia. I keep reading about this Patrick guy on Palmtalk. Do you know where he's based out of? He just ships palms all over the place?

[@palmdaddy]

i actually do not know where he is based out of but check out coolhybrids.com

[@wesoliver6093]

Which palm do you think is hardier, chamerops humilis or Judaea?

[@palmdaddy]

Jubaea in a cooler wetter climate

[@zoonvandebaas]

I have a butiagrus but does a A hybrid between jubaea chilensis and syagrus romanzoffiena (queen palm) exist ? Would be a asome hybrid 😃 or somthing els like parajubaea wich is more coldhardy but againg not that wet tollerant 🤔 The problem with palms in europe is that we have wet cold winters, spear rot is a big problem with us

[@palmdaddy]

Same here

[@palmywtaczanowie]

All this crosses exist!
