BUTIA CAPITATA BLUE VARIETY

EASY TO GROW, NOT TOO TALL
BLUE VARIETY – COLD HARDY

For about a decade we’ve been offering this very desirable and sought after variety of Butia that has a nice blue color. Otherwise, it’s quite similar to the regular gray-green Pindo Palm. The intensity of the blue color varies from plant to plant. But, the palm shown here came from a nice blue parent. Outdoors in hot sun, the color blue will intensify. Mature height is about fifteen feet or a bit more. Trunk diameter averages 12 to 16 inches. This palm loves full hot sun and can take down to 15 degrees F. So, almost all of you can grow this palm. This plant also does well in desert climates. We’re putting our 25g size on sale. Be aware, its a dark, cloudy day such that the blue color of the leaves doesn’t show well.

Just remember: Mention this Blog Special for your discount. The 8th photo is by friend, Paul Craft – the 9th is a prior 25g plant at the Nursery.
