Description
One of the rarest of the species of Brahea, this palm has the largest fronds which span 1 meter (3' across). A reasonably fast grower with some cold tolerance. Customers have reported damage near 19F degrees. The beautiful blue glaucous fronds make this faster that average growing palm deserving of a protected area or micro climate location in gardens form zone 8 and warmer. Native to N.E. Mexico in xeric(dry) habitat genetically gives this species the ability to endure extreme drought conditions once established. Other palm nuts out there are encouraged to plant this palm in zones 7a & b.
Notes
All of our 1 gallons are grown in a 4x4" square x 14" deep pots and 3 gallon are grown in 7x7" square x 18" deep pots to allow for a deeper root system which aids in our Palms winter survival. Customers are having much better success with our palms surviving the winter over growers that use traditional shallow pots.
