xButyagrus nabbonnandi ("Mule Palm")("Hybrid")
This beautiful palm is the result of Butia capitata being
pollinated by Syagrus romanzoffiania. It is extremely frost
hardy and can withstand temperatures to at least 14F (-10C)
when large enough. It is possibly the nearest coconut
lookalike that can be grown. The palm is sterile, hence its
nickname the `Mule palm` , and all palms must be produced
by painstaking hand pollination.
