That's Brahea Clara, and any size will do, though, the bigger the better.

Will, here are three possible sources that might be available. The list starts with closest to you:

  • Jungle Music, scroll down the page to see photos & info
  • Tejas Tropicals, small size offered (but for me it's been faster than expected growth)
  • Seabreeze, scroll down page, I don't know if it's blue

All three are IPS members, and to me, they're great palmy people. Good luck in your search! :wub2:

There are several mature Wodyetia bifurcata in my neighborhood--that helps determine my zone, right? :blink:

Thank you for the tips Shirley.

Seabreeze is a new one to me.

I know Jungle Music, and I already was looking on the website, but didn't see Icy Blue specifically, but I'll give them a call.

Tejas Tropicals is closed. I e-mailed the owner 2 weeks ago and this is what he told me.

I can get you a nice clara from Socal if you like. I go down there a lot.

The Brahea Clara 'icy blue' RPS offered a couple years ago had a larger seed and starts out very blue from a seedling, Other Clara's have a little smaller seed and start out green, and may not get as blue. If you drive threw central CA I have a few, wish I had bought 1000 seeds instead of 100.

Thank you turfpro,

I will get hold of you when that happens.

Oh! Tejas Tropicals was so good! Very sorry to learn they closed it. I wish them the very best in their endeavors.
