General Description:

A palm that has been hybridized to give people in colder regions a Queen-type palm with more cold hardiness.  It is about what would imagine with the cross, although there is some variability.  The leaves a robust appearing, but are recurved somewhat like the Butia.  The trunk is often not as smooth as the Queen. 

Other Notes:

Quite rare and desirable, especially for colder climates.
