LOVES SUN AND HEAT – VERY COLD HARDY
This species is a suckering fan palm from the Middle East. This includes the countries of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Leaf size is about four feet, height typically eight to twelve feet and width about ten feet. Taller very old specimens do exist. Trunks are about four to six inches thick. The upper stem in the area of the leaf attachments are covered with a wooly, tan material. (see photo). The presence of this material is a good way to identify this species. The main thing I wanted to talk about this morning with Nannorrhops is the color of the leaves. In sun they get a prominent silver blue color. And, they don’t take up too much room in the garden. We just got in a few older 5 gallon plants. These will sell quickly. Especially recently, they are near impossible to find. They want full hot sun and are cold hardy into the upper teens F. They’d be easy to ship.
