Description: This hybrid has popped up inadvertently around the world (mostly in Australia and Thailand) from random batches of Chrysalidocarpus cabadae seed that was open pollenated. The resulting hybrid is extremely colorful- with an emerald ringed trunk, fuzzy red crownshaft, and dark green leaves. It is one of the most rare and sought-after Chrysalidocarpus hybrids.  The seed parent (mom) is Chrysalidocarpus cabadae (Cabada Palm) and the pollen parent (dad) is Chrysalidocarpus leptocheilos (Teddy Bear Palm). With manual pollination, it takes about 2,000-3,000 pollenated female flowers to produce each viable seed. When viable seeds germinate, the seedlings are extremely small and need care to get to the 3x8 Treepot size. This hybrid has much more color than the standard Cabada Palm.
