Here are pictures of some of my Brahea palms. Even though they are not at all widely grown in South Africa I’ve found them to be some of the best performers in my temperate dry inland climate garden.

Brahea Armata in Arizona. I don’t know why it’s posting sideways I even tried to rotate it and it still posts the same direction.

My Brahea Moorei with twelve flower stalks.  Loves being kept moist, it came in same seed batch as Glenn’s growing in Modesto, CA, origin was Cistus Nursery, Portland, Oregon. It is very happy in filtered light.  Perry (SLO Palms) has small plants from my Big Boy, not sure if he is selling these yet.  Seed is for sale, get in touch with me

I miss this species in my collection.  I tried seeds, but unfortunately no one germinated. And a little not so healthy plant that I bought, died. But it ' s still on my wishlist.

Brahea nitida: overhead view and close-up of curved trunk. Fronds definitely look nicer when grown in partial shade, at least where I live!

Yes, I thought it was called Brahea berlandieri in the past. My plants all are forming little suckers at the base.
