First step is to select your trees that are in the same family. So we will start with the Butia Odorata formally classified as Butia Capitata var odarata.
This palm normally self pollinates as it is unisex. So we emasculate all of the male flowers off of the inflorescence.
Once all the male flowers are removed we wash the inflorescence and bag it so it can not cross pollinate with other nearby trees.
And that is the first step to making a hybrid palm.
