Brazilian Needle Palm on Vancouver Island

Post by Islander »

Another request image for John

It has slightly greyish leaves that are rigid (compared to fortunei) and pointy. But not as rigid as T. campestris. Some people have touched the leaf tips. Something they wouldn't want to repeat. The trunk has long needles. It is very deer proof.

Islander nice shot of the Brazilian needle palm. Do you have pic of it from further back planted. I believe they are rated to -8c 19f . I have three of them and am seriously considering putting a sign on all of them "Handle With Care"LOL.
