This was the Butia I got in a trade in April 2011. I planted one outside and is still out there and one in a pot with only five leaves
My Brahea armata is on the left 2011 april

Pic taken today and was received received dec 31 2012 in the mail. Other still potted too I know those they hate root disturbance and they were shipped bareroot.
