Love seeing your garden @TonyDFW!  First time I saw it was probably 10 or more years ago on the Amazing Gardens website.

Tony, did you grow that Brahea armata from seed as well?  If so how long did it take to get it to that size?  Looking great!

Great looking collection of blue palms! Can't wait for my 3 Sabal Uresana to put on some size and to get a big Brahea Armata in ground in the spring!

I have bismarckia that will live 100% in houston and San Antonio. I grow them in DFW but they are only slightly hardier than a queen so they wont make it here longterm.

Brahea decumbens and mazaris also do amazingly well. Mazari have proven to be reliable to upper single digits without issue.

Nice. The slightly lower humidity of Dallas must be enough, that Brahea Armata looks more robust than those along the gulf coast.
