Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music Posted by Rob N TN on October 22, 2024, 8:22 pm Jungle Music mail order from San Diego has the best and healthiest palms I've ever ordered from. A slightly higher price is worth it due to shipping and the great care Phil provides. I noticed good prices on Sabal Minor var Louisiana and Butia Paraguayensis. This Butia has always interested me since it only grows to about 2m (6') and is hardier than Butia Odorata (jelly palm). If I attempt Butia again, it will be one of Phil's B.paraguayensis. Question anyone grow this palm? Thanks

Re: Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music Posted by Fred SC on October 23, 2024, 5:42 am, in reply to "Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music" Rob, I have ordered from jungle music years and years ago. Yes feel as a very nice guy. I did have a boot bar this years ago and I accidentally gave it to a neighbor over in Taylors. He planted it by his pool so I have no idea if it still lives or not. That was before the big cold vortex winner years ago, which did take out a lot of Butia . I have no idea if it took that one out or not. Hope you have a good luck with the one you’re getting. Maybe protect it for a year or two just during the very coldest spell should do the trick , I bet, oh the Butia that I gave Dorothy and now planted in the front yard has really grown this summer. If we have any nights this winter below 15 I’ll probably cover it a little bit , because it’s just too pretty to be damaged.. It is her favorite tree.

Re: Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music Posted by Barry Senatobia,Mississippi on October 24, 2024, 5:42 pm, in reply to "Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music" Id rather pay a little more and know I got the correct genius than waiting 4 or 5 years and see I was lied to. That's exactly what happened to a friend of mine after purchases from a shade tree plant seller. I have read about that Butia and its hardiness but all species seem to originate from that same part of Brazil. They aren't hardy here without protection.

x odorata Posted by Rob N TN on October 25, 2024, 2:38 pm, in reply to "Re: Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music" I've ordered a Butia (odorata) before from Jungle Music and it was a 3g beauty but a below zone weather event, crappy winter and being poorly protected, did it in. Sabal Palmetto seems hardier for sure in Tennessee and almost as hardy as Trachycarpus, both needing some winter event protection though. I really want to try Sabal Louisiana again.

SC Butia Posted by Rob N TN on October 25, 2024, 2:56 pm, in reply to "Re: Sabal Minor var. Louisiana at Jungle Music" Fred, Ms Dorothy's Butia palm is beautiful. I don't think you will have any bad winter lows. La Niña esta aquí. I may try the Sabal Louisiana again before the Butia x paraguayensis. Gracias Fred.
