BISMARCK PALM

A magnificent large palm with a heavy crown of huge blue-green fronds. Trunk is solid and squat and can reach 10m tall. It is endemic to central Madagascan grasslands and outperforms any other palm when given enough room. It is fast growing once establish, and prefers a sunny position with well-draining soil. It is drought and frost tolerant and does best in temperatures from 4 to 36 degrees. Coming from Madagascar it is used to a wet & dry season and this should be kept in mind when growing the beautiful Bismark palm, lots of ‘rain’ in summer/hot weather, less water in winter! Stunning potted specimen, and spectacular in group plantings!
