      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A beautiful palm from Baja California and the Sonoran Desert.

      Frost, salt, drought and heat tolerant, it's crown of silvery blue fan-like leaves atop the stout trunk makes a striking statement in any garden, whether among informal plantings or used as a design element along drives or to frame vistas. Huge pendant cream coloured inflorescences add an extra dimension over summer and are followed by dark brown fruit which are supposedly edible after roasting.

      Happy in any well drained soil but found naturally in soil that is alkaline so it is ideal for coastal gardens.

      Sure to thrive where more common and tropical palms struggle.
