Jelly Palms - worth £60?
Jelly Palms - worth £60?
I'm after a Jelly Palm.
I prefer the denser/thicker look of the Butia capitata but apparently the Butia eriospatha comes from a wetter cooler climate so is better suited to the UK?

Re: Jelly Palms - worth £60?
Palm centre sale just ended so I'd wait until there's a sale on if it were me.
Seagrave have got a 25% off sale on and free delivery if you spend over £300.
I bought one of these a few years ago in a sale there, and it was bigger than the one in the photo on the website below.

Cordyman the palm house are doing butia in 20ltr pot for £55 but it does not tell you heght of plant or pre order is available at hardy palms and you can get a large butia catarinensis for £150 and (new nane for capitata) and it is a really decent size and price.

Tempted myself.
It might be just me but i'm not keen on those, prefer the £250 in 2nd post, whether its too many leaves removed i'm not sure, but they don't look as cosmetically pleasing
Re: Jelly Palms - worth £60?
Cordy, I never saw an eriosptha like the one in your picture , it looks like capitata to me.
Butia catarinensis is the palm that was Butia bonnettii ,its got a formal name, its other name was var odorata before the huge butias from uruguay were given that name.
Before anybody buys a Butia from any source check there is roots growing out of the holes at the bottom of the pot, or dont buy it.

Nigel, there seems to be a bit of confusion about renamed butias. Any chance you could start a new thread telling us whats what please? I thought capitata was now catariensis, or is it odorata? Whats bonnettii? Ta

Re: Jelly Palms - worth £60?
Butia erispathia to me is the best for uk climate, whether it will survive long term who know's?, i havn't seen many large ones grown in west midlands!. I have quite a large capitata/ now odorata & a full size odorata/now a caterinensis,. My first erispathia has 20inch tall trunk but is struggling to get going, the one i had off nigel last year is a corker about 1.6metres tall & the unique erispathia colour green. Its always hard to judge palm's off photo's, if you can your best to see nigel in person & pickout the plant you want. I've never bought off palm centre myself but all the reports are good i've heard. karl.

Glad about that, as I have updated my Butia capitata page to odorata, but most, including wikipedia still say capatata.Nigel wrote:OK I will do it iin the palms sectionflounder wrote:Nigel, there seems to be a bit of confusion about renamed butias.
