I pulled the centre spear out in April.
I thought this palm had bit the dust but it has now produced six new fronds.
My low this year was 15.3F or -9.3C. I just stayed above the low level of zone 8b. This was the coldest year that I can remember at my place. I have been here since 1983. [/img]

BUTIAcapitata

This Butia has rooted in nicely after a transplant almost 3 years ago. So far 9 new fronds this season with a full head of steam going into Fall. It's in a southern exposure and seems to like the summer heat and regular watering. How's your Butia doing? Cheers, Barrie.

That's very nice Barrie!

I have some Butia capitata seeds coming from South Carolina and i can't wait to receive them. 😀

What kind of cactus is that beside the Opuntia?

Regards,
Jay

Jay,

The one one the left is Opuntia vulgaris. All together there is about 8 different types of cacti. Also in the dry garden are several Agave species. Almost anything worthy of a hot, sunny and dry site gets planted here.

*as a side note: I had Opuntia liguiformis in there but it collapsed from weight at about 6' tall. I cut it out and tossed it onto a mound of soil out back. Now this has rooted in since last year and is growing fine.

Cheers, Barrie.

Beautiful Butia capitata!!!...I love Pindo Palms. I know for sure they love the heat, being from Brazil. Its surprisingly cold hardy though, considering its pinnate. Jelly Palms are popular in the southern United States. 😀

(Insert witty remark here)

Hi Barrie 😀
I know this is an old thread, but if you are still reading this forum could you post a few more pics of your yard? Looks like you have some very cool plants 😯 I would love to see more 😀

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
