They are fast growers, can handle a lot of heat, and a lot of moisture.

I have not had much luck with Brahea seeds here in Hawaii. I tried to germinate several species, but was only able to get a few Brahea armata to germinate. They were very slow growing, and the one and only survivor that I have now in my garden appears to be doing alright. It's only about a foot tall now, it's been in the ground for about a year. I had it in a gallon pot for at least two or three years before that. If it grows fast elsewhere, our climate must not be to its liking.

I've got a 20+ year old B. Armata that's only a foot tall. How's that for slow growth. I think it's genetically inferior since they normally grow like weeds in my climate. My one year old Brahea nitida 'super silver' are as big!
