reamining seed on tree (what's left on the infructescence after most fruit fell off)

seed ripening on Butia X Jubaea... however, this seed looks suspiciously like Syagrus seed (note oblong shape) and distinctively UNLIKE Butia or Juabaea seed. Plant growing among large Syagrus. Hmmm

Butia X Jubaea on left, with possible similar hybrid on right.. or maybe that one is just a massive Butia capitata, southern California

seed from BuitaX next to Butia, just after I ate the fruit off of both (the latter was MUCH better tasting)

Seed of this plant on left, along with a few fruits, Butia seed/fruits in the middle, and Jubaea seed/ fruits (slightly smaller and yellower) on right

close up of seed showing circular 'germination' centers... much more pronounced than in Jubaea seeds.

October seed in southern California... who knows if it's viable, and if so, what it's been fertilized with...
