Butia x Jubea f2 seed size

Post by canadianplant » Thu Apr 18, 2013 4:51 am

I finally got my seed order and noticed something interesting. IT seems that the seed size is varied. Im not too surprised because they are all relatively close, and they are hybrids but one seed is 1/4-1/2 larger then the rest. Ive never grown butia, jubea or any hybrids, and am wondering if there is any variation in the 2 parents species like this?

You can fit roughly eight Butia odorata seeds in one Jubaea seed.
