Washingtonia × filibusta
Species of palm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Washingtonia × filibusta is a hybrid of the species Washingtonia filifera and Washingtonia robusta. Stores do not sell purebreds, they sell the hybrid only. The hybrid does not look too different from the purebred, but is more hardy to cold than W. robusta, especially wet cold.[1]
