Marius Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Here are pictures of some of my Brahea palms. Even though they are not at all widely grown in South Africa I’ve found them to be some of the best performers in my temperate dry inland climate garden. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEP Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 My Brahea Moorei with twelve flower stalks. Loves being kept moist, it came in same seed batch as Glenn’s growing in Modesto, CA, origin was Cistus Nursery, Portland, Oregon. It is very happy in filtered light.
