We just potted up a few hundred Clara seedlings Friday.

Joseph-  Nice !  Did you select the seed source yourself?

  Also quick question how hardy or less hardy are these from armata?  If their growth rate is as phenomenal as I am reading I might be interested in trying one or two.  I find armata to be a fast grower!

Yes, there is one particular tree that i get seeds from in California.  I harvested the first seeds myself but this last batch a fellow ips member harvested and shipped them to me.

Thought I would throw in a pic of my B nitida. Not the best pic but I really like his palm. It is soft in the leaves compared to the other Brahea I have. It also takes full AZ sun with no burn and remains vibrant green. It's also a pretty fast grower for me.

I periodically pass by this house just to look at its matured garden. Last month I saw the palm pictured below. Either I never noticed it or wrongfully assumed it was a Washingtonia robusta, but now I'm a believer this is a Brahea brandegeei. The boots are not cross-crossed and the bloom is different to my eyes. There are Washingtonias in the background for comparison. I'd appreciate the opinion of others with more experience.

On a less grand note, I was potting up millions of little plants and I ran out of 1 gallon pots. Typical. In my desperation I began discarding pots that had long expired seeds and dead or dying plants. I found a pot that had contained Brahea decumbens seeds I had long forgotten. The label said "8/20/14." I scratched away some potting mix expecting to find remnants of long-rotted seeds and I was pleasantly surprised to feel signs of life. A few weeks later here is what it looks like. I learned my lesson in patience and then I bought 50 1-gallon pots at my local nursery supply store.

Maybe I should have looked a little closer at my own label -- it's actually Brahea acculeata!!! It's sad that I didn't read my own label so closely. Either way Ben you can have some once I divide the pot. Now I'm tempted look for the B. decumbens seed I once collected...

i thought that brahea clara doesn't has fuzz.

the seeds of brahea Clara are bigger also.

thanks.

I think you are right. I went up the hill and took a picture of my Clara. It had no sign of any fuzz. My Armatas were covered in fuzz. I think sometimes they are pretty hard to tell apart from a distance. Now that I know about the fuzz, should be pretty clear in the future. I attached a close-up of the trunk.

Really I like your Clara!

i have a few ones from different sellers,  but still small, I hope that they grow faster than my Armatas.

about the seedling of SP. Pink they started with small leaves than a standard Armata. 

Best regards, thanks for the confirmation about the fuzz.

I planted my Brahea Clara as a 1 gallon / 1 leaf plant. I got it from mark McGinnis of Oceanside. He told me they were fast but I didn't actually believe they were as fast as he said. Boy was I wrong. That one gallon plant is now at the size as in the picture. Probably 4 years at the most. It has caught up with all my Armatas that were planted at the same time and were in oversized 15 gallons. The trunks were the width of the 15 gallon container. They are rocket ships compared to armatas.

Here's my brahea super silver. Braheas are an easy grow for me in santee. I'm also growing brandigii, balerandii (or however you spell it), armata and decumbens.

Just planted out this little brahea eudilis, I've been told they are fast growers at least compared to armarta, looking forward to watching it get going, expecting a few years of root establishment before it takes off :)

These B. edulis are fast growers. Clear a wide swath around that thing.

Ben, I think this is just a form of brahea elegans. Nuri is the town in Sonora Mexico where it has been documented growing. Hence the name Brahea Sp. Nuri

But you probably already knew that :rolleyes:

Thanks Josh. This garden is in Tustin about 4 miles from where I live. I heard the original owner died years ago, but he was a major plant collector, and possibly his children own the house now. There are many nice palms, cycads, and a few other goodies. I've always wanted to knock and invite myself in for a tour, but I haven't found the nerve...

I would knock on the door. the worst thing that might happen is they beat you up and take all your money. I mean they might say no :)

some of the best tours I have been on have been random stops from garden sightings.

Some nice B. aramtas in bloom. While not a rare palm, they are gorgeous, especially when planted in a row. These are located in Tustin in an office park. These have been here as long as I can remember -- at least 20 years.IMG_3366.thumb.JPG.555a830e1dd29b3b1b0c4IMG_3367.thumb.JPG.7247302780e65a22c96d9

I thought that Sp. Nuri is closely related to Brahea Aculeata.

Thanks for the info.
