Re: Epicurian Delicacy - Jelly Palm - Butia capitata

See, I'm not a bit fan of B. yatay because of the consistent blue leaves. I prefer greener leaves (i'd really like a true green B. capitata!, but mine is fine). That's part of the reason I've not been moved to buy Brahea armata, preferring it's green cousin, B. edulis (which also has a nice habit of cleaning itself).

I just planted out a Butia yatay from a 15-gallon pot this fall.  They are
supposed to be larger than B. capitata and more consistently bluish as well
as having longer, more arching leaves.
