How about just B. clara.

Don't make me buy one off ebay!

Got tons of B clara but I would be scared to ship them as they don't like to be moved much. I got some 5 gallons at $15 but the shipping would be 4 times that........Come and get it and bring me some of that big Fla. stuff!

4 times the shipping is better than 0 palms. Anyway, isn't a 5 gal CAL actually a 3 gal FLA

[Mark M @ S. Oceanside palms]

Usually yes but this palm loves our climate and is has super impressive growth "genes". I got one 4 years ago stretched and dry, out of a greenhouse in 5 gallon and it is now 12 feet tall one km. from the cold Pacific!

I got mine here 2 1/2 years ago: http://www.tejastropicals.com/genus/brahea.html

they still have them apparently. They arrived as green, but didn't stay that way. Here is one of mine as of a month ago, post #1

Brahea clara has smaller seed and starts out green as a seedling. Brahea clara 'icy blue has large seed and starts out blue from a seedling.

this was not my experience. When I first received the icy blue Brahea clara, it was hard to believe it would be a blue palm. Today it is as blue as many brahea armata. Never saw the seed, but the green seedling pictured in tejas site is exactly what I got, it was not notably blue.

Thank you, Tom, for the referral and telling about your experience growing it up.

Have both now, thanks. Have 4 B. claras and the largest was bought as a 5 gal plant and was pale green. It has since progressively gone to whiteish-green and getting more white with every new leaf. Two of the smaller ones were white/blue from the get go. One that I sprouted from seed came from a white leaved parent but currently is a deep green strap-leafed seedling.

This is interesting. I also have both. The one from Tejas tropicals started out blue even with almost strap leaves. The one from SLO Palms is pale green and now is starting to "was up".
