BRAHEA SPECIES “SUPER SILVER” NICE 15 GALLON PLANTS

Shown here is a 15 gallon plant of a Brahea species from Mexico that is presently known as “Brahea species Super Silver”.   Undoubtedly someone will describe it in the near future.  Seeds have been available only twice.  These plants are from the first batch that came along.  It is a blue plant but doesn’t show the blue until older.  It wants full hot sun and would be perfect for the desert.  I suspect the cold tolerance is similar to Brahea armata, about 15 degrees F.  But, compared to the later, this species trunk is much thinner and it is faster growing.  But, the blue color is just as intense.  Shown here is the 7g size which we’re putting on Special.  The palm shown below is the size we’re putting this size on sale.  Limited numbers.  Mature plant photo below c/o RPS.  Also note this is a single trunk species  but the plant shown below is a “double”.
