Butia and a few others

Posted by John, DE on June 19, 2008, 22:51:44

I planted Butia eriospatha and bonnetti last summer and left them unprotected through the winter.

Butia eriospatha (1 gal) - recovered from spear pull with two new leaves - no other damage. The new leaves seem much thicker than the older growth.

Butia bonnetti (3 gal) - recovering from spear pull - damaged petioles

R hystrix finally sending new growth after spear pull. It will be interesting to see hardiness difference between the eriospatha with age.

Sabal minor "Cape Hatteras" has done the best. It is growing much faster than my McCurtains. They should be more adapted to our climate.
