A new good sized Brahea armata

Post by Seba »

Hi, here is the birtday present from my wife: a new good sized and silver Brahea armata! It's about 1,60 m from the ground: considering the hole 70 cm deep, it has been really a hard work for me to plant it after the job. I love it!!!

That is great! As handsome as Bismarckia but should be hardy for you.

Seba, that's THE best BD present I could ever think of.

Fabulous!
What a beauty.

I too wish Brahea were more available. I lost all four of mine this winter (in the greenhouse, no less).
Maybe I can find them in Texas, where I think they would be well suited.
W thinks they are beautiful :D

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
