WATER CONSERVING – LOVES HEAT AND SUN
This species is native to Brazil and is a single trunk fan palm with a not too large crown of leaves that are green in color. Sometimes they’ll be blue-green. Overall height can get over fifty feet. Old leaf bases can be adherent to the trunk making rough as shown in the last photo. Economically, the leaves of this species produce a wax that makes carnuba wax. The latter is marketed for various usages including car and shoe wax. This palm wants heat and sun and is cold hardy to at least the lower 20’s F. We are offering our nicely sized 2 gallon plants on sale.
