Botanical Name
Brahea brandegeei
Description
Brahea brandegeei is considered the most rare of the species in the genus Brahea and supports the largest, bluish fronds which span 1 meter (3' across). A fast grower with some cold tolerance puts this species on the desirable palm list. Customers have reported frond damage near 18 degrees F. with no kill temperatures reported to us at this time. The beautiful blue glaucous tint among the rich green fronds make this fast growing palm deserving of a protected area in gardens for zone 8 and warmer. Native to Baja California and Sonora, Mexico. Matures to 20-40'High x 10'Wide crown. The largest species in the Brahea Genus. This palm is also extremely drought tolerant once established. Are there any Palm Nuts that are brave enough to give it a try in Zone 7b.
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.
