Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Keith N. iL on March 17, 2025, 9:13 pm, in reply to "My Butia odorato" Nice Butia. I do like the yellow flowers.

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 7:30 am, in reply to "Re: My Butia odorato" AJ, i’m happy with it. It’s my wife’s favorite tree came through the winter. Great nice and green and perky. Thank you very much.

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 7:36 am, in reply to "Re: My Butia odorato" Thanks, Keith. As you know, the little yellow flowers are dandelions. I guess you know that most people hate them, but I think they’re kind of pretty . The only thing I don’t like is the bloom stalk. After the bloom , the little seeds are blown all over. It is hard to keep them out of everything, but I’m about to give up on that. I’m not about to poison the environment out there to kill them. So I gotta love them, and maybe use the leaves in a spring salad, or make some wine lol.

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Alvin, z6 on March 18, 2025, 8:57 am, in reply to "My Butia odorato" Nice, Fred. Your covering of the Pindo helped it through the nights in the teens. I think Jason's wife makes jelly or wine from dandelions.

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Jake- Morristown,TN on March 18, 2025, 11:08 am, in reply to "My Butia odorato" Looks great! Amazing to already have new fronds already or is that normal?

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 12:13 pm, in reply to "Re: My Butia odorato" Yes, I think she does. Butia is fruits are delicious. I gathered fruit off one in Greenville several years ago. They have a kinda pineapple taste. I went back a few years later to maybe get more, they had bulldozed the tree and motel down!!!

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 12:16 pm, in reply to "Re: My Butia odorato" Yes, Jake, it is normal here for Butia to push fronds as soon as you start having 70 degree days. Trachycarpus are pushing new fronds and bloom inflorescences .

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Jason Western PA on March 18, 2025, 8:45 pm, in reply to "My Butia odorato" Wow, it looks great Fred. Mine is a little burnt but I hope it comes back.

Re: My Butia odorato Posted by Fred SC on March 19, 2025, 1:39 pm, in reply to "Re: My Butia odorato" Thanks, Jason. Your Butia willl come out of it. They are quite resilient and grow fairly fast.
