What the heck is a Mule Palm???
I used to collect palms and I've never heard this name before. You got a scientific name for it?

Terry,
A mule palm is so named because it is a sterile palm. It has been hybridized by combinig the Queen plam and the Butia. Suppose to be a fairly fast growing palm with hardiness to about 15F. Main reason for the creation of this palm is to give folks in colder climates a queen lookalike...
I know of a couple of folks in the Atlanta area with one and they love theirs...
