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 and attach a scientific name. Seeds have been available only twice. 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 15g size. Limited numbers.
