Description: Chrysalidocarpus (Dypsis) cabadae x Chrysalidocarpus (Dypsis) leptocheilos.  Cabada Palm is the seed parent while Teddy Bear Palm is the pollen parent.

Production and History: This hybrid is very difficult for us to make... we pollinate about 2,000-3,000 female flowers by hand to get one viable seed. When viable seeds germinate, the seedlings are extremely small and need care to get to the 3x8 Treepot size so we lose a lot of them.  All of these factors unfortunately make it one of our more expensive hybrids.  The Fuzzy Cabada palm 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.   This hybrid has much more color than the standard Cabada Palm.
