Just got this order in from a Nursery in Austria. They include small seedlings of palm hybrids, Trachycarpus Takil Dasylirion Cedrosanum and Agave Atrovirens Mirablis
Some of the strap seedlings look a little cream crackered possibly through excess cold but hopefully they will pull through
I forgot theres a strap seedling of Sabal Riverside and a woefully small Yucca Neomexicana.
In the third picture it will be interesting to see the difference between Jubaea X Butia F1 and F2 😀
HardyJim.... your thoughts on the Trachy.... be gentle 😆

Looks like a Nainital/Fortunei to me-hard to say at that size though....
are the ligules triangular are more strap like?
It looked like one was more stringy,can you get another angled close up?
Find out where they got the seeds from-there is some debate as to whether
some* of Hebert's from Gardenpalms are hybrids or not.....

That's better than Christmas, Andy.
Fabulous plant order.
Look at the teeth on that Dasy 😕

makes me want to make a palm order right now... 😕

Andy, you have very rare hybrids. I'm not sure for that T. takil. Could you take a closer shot of ligulas.
This is my small T.takil with characteristic ligulas. I ordered seeds from Europalms "true Takil" 2 years ago.

Barb.... The dasylirions are becoming quite popular over here.... I have lost a few though to long cold spells.
Jim... Not really unexpected but hey ..its a trachy 😀 A few more close ups
Henoh... I am hoping that those hybrids survive ... some look strong but some look weak. The jubaea x Butia should hopefully be hardy here. The Butyagrus definitely isn't. See pics above for close ups. Your pic appears to show a thick weave whereas mine is quite thin.

So hard to tell with these when they are small but the ligules look a little long for Takil 😕
You have some great palms there for sure-awesome that you guys have so many great Butia hybrids!

The dasylirions are becoming quite popular over here.
If only Canadian nurseries stocked them.
None do, that I know of.
We need a new generation of nursery owners...people with vision and imagination.
And they can state "no guarantee", we'd still buy the plants.
You guys are fortunate!
