Butia Question

Post by macario »

Hello I bought a butia in cali and brought it back. It has a purplish base and base and sides of the leaves. I just figured thats how they all looked but a friend of mines has one that has more of an all green base. Is this just normal differences? I was told its butia capitata.

Thanx! I am glad I was worried there for a minute. I hope mines gets that big one day.

Here's a pic I just snapped of my Butia capitata standing roughly 7 feet tall. On Vancouver Island, not too many are seen.
Cheers, Barrie.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
