Butia odorado Posted by Fred Sc on November 22, 2024, 3:30 pm My Wife’s Butia put on several new fronds. I show one close up of a frond before it completely opens. All parts of a frond are attached by a thread like piece as like it opens You can see that. https://i.ibb.co/SrthRhC/IMG-5939.jpg https://i.ibb.co/cTXKqx8/IMG-5938.jpg https://i.ibb.co/mtZyvR5/IMG-5940.jpg https://i.ibb.co/X8Q722k/IMG-5936.jpg

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Rob N TN on November 22, 2024, 11:41 pm, in reply to "Butia odorado" That ia a unique characteristic I've never noticed. I really love the trunk of the Butia. Beautiful palm Fred, thanks for sharing it.

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Fred SC on November 23, 2024, 5:37 am, in reply to "Re: Butia odorado" Thanks. Keith. It is like a little string connecting all the fronds. Nature is amazing.

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Fred SC on November 23, 2024, 5:43 am, in reply to "Re: Butia odorado" Thanks, Rob. Dorothy loves this palm. I notice that many of the Pindos here have recovered from the harsh winter a couple years back. I ended up covering Dorothy’s twice last winter when temps went below 20 . They start foliage damage about 25 degrees. Dorothy’s is In an Exposed location so it is vulnerable to wind damage if cold! It is just to loved and beautiful not to take precautions .

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Keith N. iL on November 23, 2024, 11:51 am, in reply to "Re: Butia odorado" Yep Fred. All part of God's wonderful design.

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Jason Western PA on November 23, 2024, 6:53 pm, in reply to "Butia odorado" It looks about the size of mine.

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Fred SC on November 24, 2024, 6:54 am, in reply to "Re: Butia odorado" Nice.do you protect yours?

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Barry Senatobia Mississippi on November 24, 2024, 6:59 pm, in reply to "Butia odorado" Another nice palm on the board. They do well in the Jackson area and are becoming quite popular.

Re: Butia odorado Posted by Fred SC on November 25, 2024, 11:02 am, in reply to "Re: Butia odorado" Thanks, Barry. Butia is Dorothy’s favorite. This one is healthy and robust. I see some Butia here, but not as many as there should be. I mostly see Trachycarpus, Sabal palmettos snd minors.and the occasional needle.
