Mexican Blue Palm

Brahea armata

نخيل أزرق

Striking waxy silver-blue fan leaves on a slow-growing, stocky trunk. One of the most beautiful and most drought-proof palms available, and a genuine focal point in a gravel or water-wise garden.

Blooming season: Summer
Flower colour: Cream
How to care: Full sun and sharply drained soil; this palm demands dry feet and will rot in heavy or wet ground. Extremely drought and heat tolerant once established, needing almost no summer irrigation. Water sparingly through the first year, then rarely. Very slow growing, so buy the size you want. Avoid overhead watering, which dulls the waxy blue bloom on the leaves.

Date Palm

Phoenix dactylifera

The true date palm, slimmer and more upright than its Canary Island relative, and productive in hot dry positions. Suckers freely at the base, which can be removed for a single clean trunk or left for a clumped grove effect.

Pygmy Date Palm

Phoenix roebelenii

A miniature date palm reaching only two or three metres, with a slender trunk and fine arching fronds. The palm to use in a courtyard, beside a pool, or in a large pot on a terrace, and equally happy indoors in bright light.
