Bismarckia ‘Silver’ Palm

The Bismarckia nobilis, also known as Bismarckia Silver Palm, is a slow growing and hardy member of the palm family (Arecaceae) native to Madagascar, where it grows in open grassland. It is characterized by its silver-blue fronds that add contrast against deep green foliage. This palm can adapt to either acidic or alkaline soil and can tolerate some drought. Because of their massive crowns, they need plenty of room in a landscape area. The plant grows as a solitary trunk, 12 to 16 inches in diameter at maturity, and slightly bulging at the base. In their natural habitat, they can reach 82 feet in height but usually get no taller than 40 feet in cultivation. The rounded leaves are up to 9 feet wide and divided to a third of their length into 20 or more stiff, once-folded segments. Fibers persist between the leaf segments.
