Description

Culture

It can handle drought and severe freezes but must have full sun and a very well drained spot in the temperate or subtropical garden. (RPS.com)

Comments and Curiosities

A beautiful and rarely seen Brahea from northeastern Mexico, where it inhabits steep rocky slopes and sheer limestone cliffs. Although quite variable in appearance, the typical form produces a stocky, ocasionally clustering trunk to 5 or 6 m (17 to 20 ft.) tall, topped by a compact crown of stiff, light green or bluish leaves.
