Nice Brahea Barrie. I wish they would sell some here. I have never seen a Brahea for sale in any of our local nurseries. They would do great in our environment
BTW Barrie I put some S. Minor seed in your package as well
Awesome pics!!!

Very nice pics Laaz, thanks for sharing with the group. It looks like the SM are growing in shade throughout the summer and part sun and part shade in winter and thrive.

Hey Ryan. Yes S. Minor's natural habitat is as a under story plant. In their natural habitat they grow large leaves & long stems to compensate for the low light conditions. When planted out in direct sun they do very well, but grow shorter stems & smaller leaves (Fronds). They also seem to get a deeper almost Blue coloration when grown in direct sun.

Those are beautiful. I am hoping that I can put a couple of S. Minors in the ground next spring.

Laaz great photos of natural habitat for those S. minors. Are there any needle palms growing wild in your area?

John yes there are some wild needles, but the only ones I know of are on private property.

Great pics Laaz!
Those would look so good growing all over Stanley park here in Vancouver.
Also in my yard.
