Brahea 'Super Silver' is still an un-named rare species of Brahea (fan palm) that has found its way into California cultivation years ahead of being officially described. So far no adult species exist in California, but soon there will, and perhaps it will be from some of these adults that an officially description will be obtained. At first glance, it looks very much like a Brahea armata or Brahea clara, but the petioles are complete devoid of any hint of teeth (NO SPINES!). The leaves are very silvery and have stiff leaflets, more like Brahea armata than clara. As a juvenile palm it is a completely flat, medium green without a hint of silver in it (reminiscent of Brahea decumbens which also is green as a seedling, only to turn a nice pale blue-green later on). The estimated height of this palm is 15 feet.
Minimum temp is estimated to be 20F! so very cold hardy and good drought and wind tolerance and very good dry heat tolerance. Is acceptable to a variety of soils. Is a full sun palm but grows well in shade (which is where I have mine planted!)

These were grown from seed by me!
