Butiagrus nabonnandii a hybrid from the Pindo and the Queen palms. Both of these palms are cold hardy and together they have produced an equally cold hardy offspring. Propagation methods keep the price of this palm on the high end. Owners of these palms will tell you they are worth every penny. They truly are grand specimens when propagated correctly. Once mature it displays a dark brown trunk with massive caliper. Its pinnate structured fronds are long with wide, dark green leaflets similar to a coconut palm but what makes this palm truly special is that despite its tropical appearance, it is noted to be cold hardy down to at least 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Mules established in landscapes are found as far north as Virgina Beach on the east coast and Seattle on the west coast. The hardiness and appearance of each individual palm can vary depending on how much of each genetic trait it receives from parent palms when it is crossed properly.
