Bismarck palm

This massive tropical palm, one of the most beautiful palms in the world, commands attention and inspires awe wherever it is grown. It grows a single trunk (15 m) that is smooth on mature specimens but young individuals retain old leaf bases. The Bismarck palm’s stout trunk and symmetry of the huge crown lends a formal note while the startling blue green foliage amplifies the visual impact of this big beauty. Despite originally coming from Madagascar it tolerates temperatures down to -2°C.
