The Story
This lovely blue palm collected by our friend Ron Gass from back in the day in Western Sonora. It is a slow grower, though faster in very hot climates. Here, it serves as a very good light shade understory fixture, with steely blue leaves. Shorter here - in 5 years has only reached about 4.5 feet tall. So far, at least in SE Arizona, has been frost hardy to 0 degrees. We don't know if we would take that here with less summer ripening. USDA zone 8, full sun to part shade, extra summer water when it's hot to boost growth.
