DoomsDave Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Some of you got a few seeds of the Franken Brahea, which is, I think a hybird between B. armata and brandeegii. The first picture shows it back in 2009, when it was starting to grow a bit, after being planted in 2006 or thereabouts. Palmazon stands on the stump of the felled Washie discussed in another thread. Here it is recently, flowers, seeds. The Shoe by the trunk. I had no idea it would get that big that fast. 3 3 Let's keep our forum fun and friendly.

Jdiaz31089 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've got to say, this palm is pretty spectacular in person. It has a really unique color to it that's really hard to describe - like a frosty, sea green. I'm excited to have some of it's offspring in my garden! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
