Bismarckia nobilis

Bismarck Palm is a beautiful specimen, able to reach sizes of 50-60' tall by 20' wide at maturity. Leaves are blue-gray to silver, fan-shaped, and can reach as much as 10' across each. This palm requires a completely frost-free climate to grow, otherwise plant in a pot or provide some form of frost protection. Full sun to partial shade, drought tolerant once established. Native to Madagascar.
