Have a bunch of these Carnauba wax palms and they are not as slow as you would think. 5g for $30

I'll post some pics of the one I have had in the ground for years. Never had an issue with it. Easy grow.

Joe, 

I bought a liner of this from you a few years back.  Might have been C. alba.  Nice plant.

Anyways, I planted this in a pot, in solid, unamended clay.  It has thrived, retaining all it's bright blue leaves.  It never dries out.

Steve,

I have had both but mostly prunifera. These palms aren't phased by anything in my yard or nursery and they always look good.
My soil is composed of a good amount of clay and the one I planted out doesn't mind at all. I'll take a pic....when I remember :wacko:

Thanks

The one I have in the ground is blue. I don't recall if it was green when it was small.
To be honest, I am not sure if there is a green or blue form of this palm. I will look into that Pete.

Thanks Joe. The reason I ask is I remember seeing the one you have in the ground a couple years ago and being so impressed with it. It's very blue!
