Is that an aculeata?

Pretty certain they're Brahea edulis.

I think this is Brahea aculeata, in San Diego.

Brahea armata in my garden

20230628_184619.thumb.jpg.28525a5f3666650c1dbd3233f7601efd.jpg

Brahea calcarea (ex nitida) (not fruiting stalks in the background)

20230628_184805.thumb.jpg.046b0003ff854710aef9bb84ee8f5151.jpg

Brhea dulcis (painfully slow in this stage)

20230628_184639.thumb.jpg.5d775fa84860c68ce60253cba06fe419.jpg

And two offsprings.

First one must be what I believe either Franken-Brahea or Nuri

And the other Brahea brandegeei

That’s a nice blue form. I’ve only seen green locally.

I got dulcis seeds from Dave's blue form in California.  Thanks @DoomsDave!  Same thing for my "Franken Brahea".  They are almost ready to plant out.

Brahea nitida: overhead view and close-up of curved trunk. Fronds definitely look nicer when grown in partial shade, at least where I live!

BraheaNitida1.png

Now known as Brahea calcarea....

From Palmpedia: Common Name: White Rock Palm, Oaxaca Palm

"Brahea calcarea was for years known to us Californians as Brahea nitida, but as more taxonomy is researched, it turns out the original description of this palm had a different name. This is a Mexican fan palm with nearly circular green leaves and very long inflorescences. It is one of the few unarmed Braheas. It is one of the most cold tolerant of the Braheas as well."

Clara. It is about 1.5 months since germinating and already pushing a second leaf. 

Is palmpedia’s suggestion that  clara is armata x brandegeei the prevailing opinion? Braheas are supposed to be super slow when small, right? But this one is moving as fast as my washy sprouts.

Most palms grow VERY quickly on seed power. Once that is used up, you probably will notice the slow down in speed of growth...

Mine's about 3 times that size and it's just BARELY starting to show a little white powder on its newest leaves. 

 

I'm not sure it's hardy enough to grow up here in the ground, I might have to leave it in its pot

I believe @Matt N- Dallas has super silver in the ground in San Marcos that he protected through Palmageddon so you should be fine.  Hopefully he'll post pics of his nice Brahea collection.

Here is the Brahea Armata in Canvey, Essex (51N) in the UK. This thing is really stacking on growth now and must be one of the biggest Armata's in the British Isles. It still hasn't lost its trunk boots yet, since it is growing so quickly there. It must be at least 10 foot in height from the base of the trunk up to the tip of the crown. It was also totally undamaged by the 'bad' winter we just went through, while nearby CIDP and Washingtonia suffered some leaf burn. But this Armata.. .totally bulletproof there! :greenthumb:

And what a slowdown it was! Here it is 3/4 of a year later, looking almost unchanged. It got a pot upgrade after a root found its way out of the first, so I know where it's focusing growth. A short time after posting that last June, two more seeds from the same batch sprouted.
